This past week since the IUI has been...interesting, to say the least. I've been having some crazy phantom symptoms, and some other things that I don't really understand where they're coming from.
For example, I have had such a tender lower abdomen ever since the IUI, complete with bloating, occasional cramps, and sensitivity to pressure. I have had super sore nipples and very heavy feeling breasts. Yesterday I was so tired at 1500 that I felt like I could fall asleep at work! I was in with a patient and blinked and then had a hard time getting my eyelids back up! Today I finally have my mid-week day off back (I know, what am I complaining about, I get weekends off don't I? :), and not only am I sleepy, but, boy, am I irritable.
To add to all this, I've started thinking about going against my own no-POASing until after the blood work on 15dpo/iui (16dptrigger), provided AF doesn't visit by then. You see, I made the mistake of checking out FF's chart gallery, and I saw several charts where the woman got a negative around 10dptrigger when the HCG was supposed to still be in her system. Which got me thinking, well, I could poas Monday am before work. But I have this fear of a false positive from the HCG trigger shot, at least until that naughty little voice inside me says, but it could be right... Gahhh!!!
I know. I need to take a deep breath and relax. ::sigh:: Maybe I'll do some yoga. Or clean. Or pay bills. Or take a nap. ;)
Before all that, I will pray for peace and patience and trust in God's plan for me. After all, I have no control over what may or may not be going on in my uterus, so why get all worked up over it? I can't see where this path is leading, so I shall walk by faith in the one who knows where I'm going.
Now I just have to remember to do this for the next seven days. ;)
