WLAB, you are absolutely right about the fate of any embryo being sealed at the point of conception. And I get that totally.

My fear is that this is an ectopic - which the hormone levels point to. That's a really bad outcome. Miscarriage I can accept. Ectopic will end our IUI journey and force us back to IVF, which we neither want, nor can afford.

I had a talk to my Mum last night. She reminded me that she was never sick with any of her pregnancies. She just had balloon boobs. And that's pretty much how this is for me. I am telling myself that this is how my body does it. I am eating my vitamins, and surprisingly I'm sleeping really well. That is all I can do.

It was tough getting through this week to the BT day. Productivity at work was zip! It will be even tougher getting through next week. I will just breathe. Some meditation will also help.

Thanks for your support, everyone. I so appreciate it. This is a frightening time. I never considered we'd have to face this challenge.

OP.
