Last month we tried our first home insemination. After less than a week I was feeling sensitivity in my breasts, nausea in the middle of the night, and fatigue. I took a test after only 8 days and it was positive. We were so happy and I went in to the doctor for the blood test the same day. It was a chemical pregnancy (meaning I had a miscarriage). It was really hard to deal with as we barely had time to enjoy being pregnant.
So a week ago we tried again. It is so hard to stay positive. Even if I get a positive test in the next couple days, I'm afraid to lose it again. We're visiting our families for Christmas and I wanted this good news so bad. Also, because we'll be traveling while I ovulate this month, we will have to wait until February to try again.
I know it's early in this process, but it was really defeating to start with a miscarriage our FIRST attempt. It would have been easier to just not succeed the first time.
I just needed to vent a little.
Sorry.
