Cycle 1, 3 dpIUI

I forgot to mention that I am feeling good again. After feeling like death the day after my HCG shot and still feeling somewhat crampy on my right side and tender at the injection site on Tuesday, by Wednesday I was pretty much back to normal. Yesterday and today - totally normal. Feeling a little bloated today but nothing that bad. My nipples have been really sore since I started the progesterone suppositories. I guess one downfall of progesterone is that it causes all the things that some people consider early pg signs. I don't really believe in early pg signs. Long story, so just trust me on that one.

I was talking with a friend, J, today. I think I mentioned her before. She had a lap/hyst a couple months ago. She has a son that came to her via injectables/IUI who is the same age as DS1. She has another boy who is the same age as DS2 that she is in the process of adopting. Just so happens that she is also going through injectables/IUI right now. She goes in for her IUI tomorrow. It is great to have someone to go through this with, particularly since she has gone through it before.

J commented today how cool it would be if we both got pg this cycle and got to go through pg together. In an ideal world, that would be cool. I live in the UU world though. First of all, I don't think this cycle worked anyway. However, if we both did get pg at the same time and got to go through pregnancy together, our experience will be worlds apart. Best case scenario, we both get knocked up this cycle and have an uneventful 9 months. Worse case scenario, we both get knocked up this cycle and my increased risk of a miscarriage causes me to have a miscarriage and then I get to watch her belly grow and be all excited about a new baby while I think about the one I lost. Of course there are all those other scenarios where J has pretty much a regular pregnancy and I have one filled with incompetent cervix and preterm labor and bed rest and early delivery and NICU.
