My gut is telling me...

No. I'm pretty sure this cycle didn't work. My boobs went from super, crazy sore to barely anything in the last 24 hours and other than this darn cold, I am feeling absolutely nothing.

I think I'll test tomorrow morning and then if it is negative, quit with the progesterone. I only have enough to last me through Friday morning anyway. Plus, if Melissa was right, my period will only be delayed if I stay on the progesterone and I'd rather that not happen.

I probably shouldn't get into how I feel about this cycle not working until I know, for a fact, that it didn't but I will say this. Sad. I can't believe after 20 months (38 total if you include TTC#1) of trying, that we are still struggling. Yes, DH has low morphology. But it isn't horrible. And I am SO regular! I have been told so many times that I am textbook - textbook BBT charts, textbook ovulation dates, I responded perfectly to Clomid, etc. What is it so hard for us?? There are so many people out there with more severe obstacles who've gotten pregnant. Why not us? We have an egg (in this last case, two), we have an ideal "home" (great uterine lining) for the egg, and we had 18 million sperm. 18 million chances for one of my eggs to be fertilized. While I know that isn't a huge number in terms of some men's count - it is still considered a good number, especially for IUI. It is just so very frustrating!!

I have been emailing my regular OB/gyn (who I love) and she said she would happily prescribe me Clomid for next cycle. So, while I know we won't be doing another IUI (at least not at this point), at least we will have a little boost to trying naturally.

To top it off, I am sick. That never helps with attitude, I just feel like I want to go home and curl up in a ball. Maybe I should?
