Limbo

First of all, welcome to any ICLW'ers. A little about me: I am 31 and I work in Human Resources for a large healthcare company. D is 36, and he is an IT Consultant. He works from home when he's not at a client site. We have been married a little over 2 years. We have 2 fur-babies, Jack and Roxy, who are our whole life. Boy, they are going to need some adjusting when a baby FINALLY comes along! We both like sports, working out, live music, and unfortunately I love wine! :-)

D and I have been TTC since June '08. I have never recieved a BFP, although we don't really have a diagnosis of anything! Frustrating. SA good, HSG clear, etc. My RE doesn't really believe in doing LAPs since there isn't an apparent reason, and insurance doesn't cover it. So I really don't know what is going on in there! Oh, and I have regular periods.

So. This cycle. (my first Follistim/IUI cycle for any newbies). I am on CD28 today. This is the day AF usually arrives. I took an HPT yesterday. BFN. However, I have been very crampy, which normally signals the start of AF, yet she is not here. I was *sure* she had arrived yesterday in Target. I was also *sure* in the middle of the night last night, and again this AM. Nope and nope. So I am just hanging out. I guess I will test tomorrow again if no AF.

I don't feel sick, I don't feel extra tired. I just feel bloated and crampy. Weird. So that is my story. If AF is going to arrive, I'd like to go ahead and move this along so we can put this costly cycle behind us! Then the next step would be to decide whether we are going to do 1 more IUI or move on to IVF. A follistim cycles costs us $2000+, and that just doesn't seem very cost effective to me. But I won't put the cart before the horse...er something.
