Chapter 14: One week down, one week to go

Yesterday, Sunday, June 14th, was one full week after IUI #1.

As y'all know, I have only been feeling tired, lethargic, and sleepy for the past week. I haven't been leaving the house unless absolutely necessary because I'm tired out by basically nothing. Yesterday though, we had to travel a but for a dinner invitation that has been postponed for the past few months due to COVID. In preparation for it, and to be there on time, I wasn't able to squeeze in the nap that I've been trying to do daily.

Not sure if my following symptoms were due to not being able to get enough sleep, but I got so nauseous during the drive. I also have vertigo and occasionally get car sick, but that generally goes away pretty soon after the car is no longer moving. The nausea only got worse over the next couple of hours, though. One of my friends thinks that it may be a good sign. But as I was only 7DPIUI, I didn't think it was possible. But we shall see. The nausea eased up later during the evening, and I am feeling much better today. It's still slightly there in the background but not as apparent as it was yesterday.

The first week went by pretty fast, in hindsight. It did feel like it was dragging on once I got to Wednesday. I'm hoping this week goes by a bit faster. Maybe I'll spend another day or two sleeping away :). I'm still conflicted about testing earlier at home, either 12 DPIUI or 13DPIUI. But then again, I don't know whether I'd rather just wait until Monday when I'm scheduled to get blood work done and just wait for the call. Honestly, I've been trying not to focus on it much and just take it a day at a time.
