Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Negative pregnancy test, again!

Well, Its pretty darn offical. I do go in tomorrow for the blood test but its just a formality. My period would normally be here Saturday, the clomid and progesterone would delay it about 3 days, not sure if the femara will also? Anyways, my tests are SUPER senstaive, they detect at 20 hcg and there wasn't even a hint of a second line, not even an evaporation line when I looked at it 2 hours later! I had to get up at 5am to pee and decided I'd test again because I really don't want to continue using the progesterone if I'm not as its VERY messy, gross and delays the inevitable period.

So, I layed in bed and cried for two hours, then got up. I figured since I couldn't sleep I'd go to K-Mart and stock up on the needed monthly supplies. While at K-Mart, my tummy goes haywire, like I gotty go potty RIGHT NOW! Leave the cart in the middle of the isle and run, more like hobble as fast as I can with bad hips, to the potty just to find the cleaning lady in there with the door locked!

I said "excuse my but I REALLY need to use the potty." She said I'll be done cleaning in 10 minutes! I told her she was going to have to clean up out in the hall where I was if she didn't let me in! She wouldn't, so I went into the mens!! She saw me and said "hey, you can't go in there" and I just walked in and locked the door!

Luckily, it didn't take too long as everything was in a big hurry to leave my body! I washed my hands and strolled out like nothing happened! The cleaning lady just glared at me but hey, what was I supposed to do!

So anyways, I get my cart and leave K-Mart and still had some time to spare so I stopped at the Whole Foods and got some yummy vitamin water and a couple of boxes of Cocoa Petes Berry Berry Dangerous treats! They are to die for! Its dried strawberries mixed in with real, dark chocolate! I figured I deserved a treat!

So, here I sit at work, nibbling my chocolate and trying not to have a major meltdown. I still haven't decided about the iui. I'll talk to the RE some more but I really can't find any evidence that it will improve my chances. I think we might give it another month or two but thats subject to change.

I talked to the physical therpist about my hips last night and she said there really isn't anything short of surgery they can do and they only do the surgery in rare cases and the recovery isn't any fun. She is checking today to see if she can get me one of the "electeric shock" things to take home to use. I don't know the actual name, I think its a differential?? You hook up these little electrodes around the painful area and then turn a knob on this hand help device that send little currents of electricity into the painful area. This is supposed to help with inflammation and pain control. I can use it up to 40 minutes at a time several times a day. So, hopefully, tonight when I go to therpay, I'll be given one to take home for a few weeks!
