I just don't know how I feel...

I would suppose that sad, mad, disappointed, jealous, tired, emotional, alone, apprehensive, confused and loved would sum it up...

I know very well that our odds of this IUI working were very small...but, it was possible...I gave in to my better judgement and let my self hope a little too much...

Now the problem is that I don't know what to do...do we try this again or save up for IVF? Or, do we talk/ think more about using a donor?

Of course it doesn't help either that AF shows up in all her glory with cramps and heavy flow...

I haven't had the heart to come out and say officially to Todd that it didn't work, but I think he knows...

I hate that it's me who know first can't I be broken the news gently...nope, I'm for the like 50th time find out that I am not going to be a mother with cramping, bloating and the mess of it all...

Yep, instead of getting to make my husband his first Father's day card I get to stock up on maxi pads and tampons...whoo hoo...oh and I almost forgot I also had to make a trip to the baby department to get a gift for my best friends second baby...fun times...

I'm sorry for all the venting, but I just had to get that all out there...

I was reminded today of this verse...and I try so hard to remember...but, it's hard...hard because I am not certain what God is asking...

Lamentation 3:20-24

I will never forget this awful time,
as I grieve over my loss.
21 Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:

22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”

You have got to love sucktastic days like that!

This is a hard journey and one with many ups and downs. I am thinking about you and the decsions that lie ahead.

You will do what's best for you and the hubs!

We decided to skip the IUI because of the low chance and the high emotional toll it would take mostly on me.

Hugs for you!

Sorry to hear about AF showing up. I know how much you wanted it to happen. Have hope that God is working though you and will bless you soon however that might be. I know its hard to add new babies into your life, but try hard to stay positive because you can never take any words or actions backn and we hope your day is comming. What ever you decide is your next step we can only pray that it works.
