8 dpiui - cycle 5 - patience is not my strong suit

Holy crap - could this 2ww take any longer?

I hate progesterone. I find the suppositories gross, and the hormones make me feel crazy. Of course if I needed them I would take them, but if I don't need them, I prefer to skip it. I had my first miscarriage while taking progesterone, so I don't see it as the security blanket that the clinic makes it out to be.

Normally I do natural IUIs (no drugs, sometimes with a trigger) so my RE said I do not need to take progesterone if I have only one or two follicles. This month was not a natural cycle and I triggered with 3 mature follicles, so we had a chat about progesterone. My suggestion was that I come in for a test and the doctor thought it was a great idea! It was kind of annoying to have YET ANOTHER visit to the clinic this month, but better than taking drugs that I don't need.

The good news was that my progesterone looked fine!

My boobs are hurting and my skin is totally broken out, but between the drugs, stress at work and my son waking up every night with a cough, there are a lot of reasons for why my skin is gross! I might test tomorrow, just for fun. We'll see.

Why do so many people keep asking me if we are going to have a second child??
