Too much going on

On February 20th I went in for my second IUI, my first with this new Dr. I had given myself injections the prior days to help my follicles grow. I had two good sized follicles on my right side and one small one on my left. Because I was set to fly out to Washington, D.C for a work trip, I had to have my IUI done a day earlier than the Dr. preferred but she still thought it would be OK.

Needless to say the next couple days were VERY stressful due to the snow/ice storm. due to many cancelled flights and delays I ended up flying from Louisville, KY to Tampa, Fl at 1:30 p.m. I sat in the Tampa airport until 9:30 p.m. We were almost to Baltimore when the pilot came on over the intercom and informed us that the Baltimore airport has been closed due to the storms and we would need to land in Norfolk, VA. By this time is close to 11:30 p.m. They never let us off the airplane and about 30 minutes later, Baltimore opened back up and in the air we went...AGAIN. Finally we landed in Baltimore around midnight and we had about an hour and half drive to D.C. Thankfully i was with a group the whole time and we had a charter bus driving us. We all slept on the bus on the way to D.C.

Part of my job is assisting our event coordinator, with all the bad weather and cancellations, it made this trip very stressful. All I could think about was "I hope my stress level doesn't affect my chances for pregnancy". Most people do not understand the pressure and stress struggling with infertility causes. Your hormones and emotions are all over the place, so adding this additional stress was terrifying. The week passed and I came home on that Wednesday.....
