The joys of a medicated cycle. Practically everything, every twinge, feeling, cramp can either mean my period is starting soon or I’m pregnant. If there is one lesson I’ve learned loud and clear is that there is no standard. When we started down this journey I thought I knew every possible pregnancy symptom. Boy was I wrong. Everything can be construed as something or nothing. A person could drive themselves insane analyzing every last feeling (symptom). The problem is we are searching for them, hoping for them, wanting them. Hope is what we all cling to and anything that can give us hope will.

I’ve decided I feel nothing, except for my very sore butt thanks to the PIO shots. No twinges, no cramps, no exhaustion. I do not even test early. It’s not that I don’t care. It’s that even if I did test early and it were positive I’d say it was the trigger shot, and if it were negative I’d pull out the statistics telling me why I shouldn’t test any earlier than 14 days past the IUI.

A great site for finding symptoms in everything is The Two Week Wait.

So, until Saturday I’m neither pregnant nor not pregnant.
