Big Fat Negative!!

I really thought this was going to be my month but I tested and it was BFN. Today is 15 days past insemination and AF hasn't showed but I'm thinking that is from the Prometrium. My boobs are so sore that I can barely lay down (very unusual for me) so I don't know what is up with that? I read that sore ta ta's are a side effect of the med but I would have thought that it would have began when I started the meds not 10 days later.

For those of you have used progesterone support after the IUI. What dose did you take? Is there another option? I have been taking 200 mg three times per day. This stuff makes me in such a horrible mood, irritable, bloated, crampy and I just feel like shit. Oh did I mention the weight gain?

Scared to test

Usually I'm POAS (pee on a stick) nut during the two week wait but this month I'm scared to test. I just don't want to see a negative test, I have myself prepared for it but I just not ready yet. Gary is out of town this weekend at National Guard drills and I'm sure he was hoping that I tested while he was gone so I would have time to deal with with a negative. He is very supportive of me but he hates to see me such an emotional wreck knowing there isn't anything he can do to speed up this process. This month has been the hardest of them all with adding in Follistim and the Prometrium. I really don't think the Follistim had any negative effects on me but the Prometrium has been wicked! If AF doesn't show up by Tuesday I will take a test.

The Wait Continues

I'm so excited! Today I got a job interview for a position as a workforce services specialist for the state. It entails working with businesses requiring employment assistance, staffing job fairs, administering testing and assessments and screening applications for area businesses. Before taking the position that I have now in the oilfield chemical sales industry I worked as a case manager for individuals with mental retardation and and developmental disabilities. I really liked my position but the pay and benefits were poor with no room for advancement so I thought moving on to a corporate job was the answer. I think the position that I'm interviewing for will be better suited to my need to interact with people and make a difference in someones life. The interview is Friday the 13th....it's going to be my lucky day!

On the trying to conceive front in just waiting, and waiting and waiting some more. I'm 11 days past IUI and I'm having major PMS symptoms, bitchiness, sore boobs, cramps and tiredness but AF is not due to show until next week. I have not been sleeping well at all and that is with taking Ambien. Taking the Prometrium three times per day sucks! It's messy and makes me so tired. Can I blame my irritability on the Prometrium? Does it mess with AF showing on her own while taking it?
