Not Pregnant....Again

So it’s Monday, July 13th and I find my self in a familiar situation. Not Pregnant....Again.

It seems timing has become a huge issue for us this summer. We paid off the last IUI and were ready to try again. In May the OPK stick turned pink on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Yeah, well...the Dr's office was closed on Memorial Day, so missed opportunity. We gave it a really good run on our own but I am beginning to suspect that’s not enough.

So on to June, my OPK turned pink the morning we were headed out of town with my mother-in-law and 17 other family members from her side. (we had no idea if it would be stressful or not- it was not thankfully) So we did the deed in the morning, I laid there as long as I could with out making us seriously late for work, prayed a little, went to work and we left to go out of town for a 3 day weekend immediately after. Neither my husband nor I felt comfortable asking to leave for several hours just prior to a vacation day. (We work at the same small company so it’s very noticeable when we both leave) Close quarters at the cabin did not prove to be conducive to trying again! We did try once we got home - but let’s be honest - we missed our opportunity. Don’t know why I was surprised yesterday when I got my period....oh well.

On to this coming month - oh no it does not get better - I have done the math and figure that I will next ovulate the week between going out of town with my husbands immediate family (VERY close quarters - and occasionally stressful) and my extended family arriving for a week as a surprise for my dad. I am the party planner and activity person for their stay. I’m going to be exhausted, happy but exhausted, and we are not sure we should spend the $ on an IUI if it’s going to be such a crazy time. Here again I’m taking 3 1/2 days off for the party and he’s taking 2 1/2, we would have to essentially take another 1/2 day to have it. Is it worth it? Struggling with decisions. Watching our pennies. Want another baby. Ugh! Dr appt today for ultrasound check for cysts so she can re-prescribe Clomid. I guess we will give it a go ourselves that week and plan on IUI come hell or high water in September I guess.
