Normally a woman is able to test to see whether or not she is pregnant at this time.
My doctor has ordered me to get my blood work done on Saturday, which will be cycle day 32. By that time there should be no mistaking whether or not I am pregnant. There should be enough HSG hormones in my body that I won't have to worry about a false negative. It also should be long enough past my HSG trigger shot that I won't get a false positive.
I have to confess I almost took a pregnancy test today... in fact I came ridiculously close!
The nurse who performed the IUI told me that I could take a home pregnancy test the morning of my blood work so that I can be prepared. Because I'm having the blood test on Saturday I won't get their results until Monday.
I don't even have the comfort of not having started my period yet because the Endometrin that I am taking stops you from starting your period; along with all its other side effects.
So I find myself in this weird limbo of both wanting to know and also not wanting to find out, because if I don't know there is still a chance.
I haven't decided whether to take the home pregnancy test on Saturday or not. I can't imagine if I took it and it was negative how I would then go in to get the blood work.
So for now I wait... hoping and praying for a miracle.
