Cycle 4, 10 dpIUI

Feeling far less obsessive over every twinge and cramp and maybe kinda sore throat feeling I felt today. Maybe because I am feeling pretty much all over not so good today. The day started off good and has gone down hill. At some point this morning I noticed that my rudimentary horn (that no longer exists) side was hurting. That really isn't all that unusual this time of the month, even since I had surgery to remove it. I guess I must still have nerves there that think they should be feeling something. I get sharp pains that cause pain to run down the inside of my leg. It was worse today than normal though. Shortly after that I was running errands and got such a horrible cramp that I thought I was going to have to make a mad bolt to a bathroom with a case of the runs. That wasn't the case. Since dinner I have been feeling really awful in my stomach/uterus/intestinal area. I don't really know what part of me even hurts. It is kinda like I have heartburn or maybe I am going to have to use the bathroom but it could be cramps, but I don't think it is cramps. My back is starting to ache a lot too.

Have been having issues being interested in food pretty much since the IUI too. I get hungry but don't have a clue what I want to eat and nothing sounds good.

I realized last night that the progesterone suppositories that I have been using were expired. I guess I can't read. I thought it said they expired on 5/26/10. However, it said that they expired on 4/26/10. Those things don't have much of a shelf life at all so even though they were just a month expired, that was probably a lot. I have a second batch of the stuff though so I started using the unexpired stuff last night.

Ten days post ovulation is when the masses tell me that HPT can start to pick up the pregnancy hormone. As I said, I'm not planning on testing. Forgot to mention one of the big reasons why. The HSG trigger shot makes pregnancy tests come out positive even if you aren't pregnant. Who wants to get a false positive? I actually heard of someone who takes HPT every day from when they do the trigger shot until they finally get a negative so they know when the hormone is out of their body. Then they starting the tests over again waiting to get a positive that would indicate her body making the hormone herself from being pregnant. Even my RE won't do a pregnancy test until 16 days after the trigger shot (so 14 days after your IUI) because even blood pregnancy tests can result in a false positive from the trigger shot.

Oh, and my throat is definitely hurting now.
