So I had my beta test this morning and now I am sitting here at work waiting to hear from my doctor to see if my IUI worked.... Obviously I am on pins and needles....
SO... as I am waiting, a girl I supervise comes in to ask me permission to leave work early today. When I asked her the reason why she said "I had a termination done last week and I need to follow up with my doctor"
It took all I had in me not to cry! I hope I am not angering anyone by writing this but I am upset - not because of what she chose to do (everyone has their reasons and I beleive everyone has a right to make that choice for themselves) but rather I am upset because here I am waiting to find out if I am pregnant and in comes this 22 year old girl who already has 3 children with 3 different fathers who has terminated a pregnancy.
I am so so sorry... it sounds like an awful day for you.
When I was pregnant with an ectopic last year and had to terminate with a methotrexate shot, my mother-in-law told me she understood how I felt because she had an abortion in her early 20's (she was married to the same man she is now... she simply wasn't ready for kids- they decided to get pregnant only a few months later...) I know she was doing what she thought was best for her, but in all honesty, wanted to slap her. It can be such hard news to hear.
Thank you. I'm trying my best to hold it together today. I'm really disappointed that my IUI wasn't successful. I really thought I was pregnant - I had so many symptoms! Today is just not a good day... My mom is also waiting for some test results today and I just hope she gets some good news.
I hope I can get out of work early today - I just want to go home!
I can completely relate to what you are saying. I am completely pro-choice for other people - they can do what they need to do, but I have a hard time talking about my own infertility with anyone that's had an abortion. I honestly probably would have started to cry if i had been in your shoes earlier.

It took everything I had in me not to cry... As soon as she walked out of my office, I called my mother and started to cry.
I totally understand that everyone has their reasons but today was the worst day for someone to tell me theirs!
It really is hard to hear people be so callous about their pregnancies. I know a girl who did nothing but complain how inconvenient her pregnancy was for her.
I hope all goes well with your mom! Try and stay positive - you will get there!!!
Just wanted to say I am so sorry your iui didn't work. I was rooting for you. We were both in 2ww together. I know how your feeling. I'm just holding onto that next time it will work.

Thank you so much. I hope that the nest time around works for both of us!

You know - I took my failed IUI so much harder than when we were just TTC and it didn't work. I feel like this is just such a hard thing to go thru and your hormones are all over the place with the meds and what not.

You are so right! When we first started seeing the RS, I was told that my progesterone levels were low. I started taking the suppositories and thought for sure that all of the side effects I was experiencing were because I was pregnant. I took that BFN really badly... now I feel as if I am expecting a BFN but hoping for a surprise BFP. I'm trying to stay positive but it is so difficult and the side effects of all the meds make it so difficult for me to keep my head straight!
We all just have to keep believing that it will happen when the time is right for us.
