2dpIUI #4

I am once again in the 2WW.  As I mentioned in my last post, I am slated to test on 6/20, Father's Day.  My father and stepmother, who are not in the know about our TTC efforts and treatment, are going to be visiting, so I am going to have to be stealthy about testing.  I have already cautioned MM that he needs to conceal any reaction to either a negative or a positive test from them, as I would not be planning to tell them either way (even if I am pregnant, I would wait until the second trimester to tell my father and stepmother).  We'll see how that goes.  Historically, a BFN has induced an all-day funk in MM.  It'll be interesting to see him hide his emotions from my dad & stepmom.

At this early stage, two days after the IUI, I wouldn't expect to have any symptoms, and I've had none.  (I have been feeling a little anxious, but I think that is more due to a situation going on at work than to anything TTC-related.)  That will probably change soon, as I will be starting progesterone gel tonight (yuck) and usually have some side effects from that.  I was very bloated and uncomfortable the day of and two days following last cycle's IUI, so I am especially glad to be feeling normal this time around.

I am going out of town on Thursday evening.  I'm traveling to my (very small) hometown in New Mexico to see my sister and nephew, who will be there for my sister's 20th high school reunion.  I am very much looking forward to seeing them both!  (MM has to work this weekend and is staying home with the doggies.)

There have been a few BFPs among my blogging pals these past couple of weeks, and I'm happy for them.  Still not happy for fertile acquaintances having kids, though: I saw another law school classmate's post on Fac.eb.ook last night that he and his wife are expecting their second child.  I did not post congratulations, and I was not happy for them.  LOL  I'm such a bad person. . . . .
