1ww

Made it through the first week of hell....now on to the most horrifying week. I had my 7dpo (days past ovulation) test yesterday. My progesterone level was 15.1. The nurse said that they like to see anything over 10, so mine was fine. Unfortunately a decent progesterone level is not an indicator of pregnancy. I am sure that I will not make it until next tuesday to test......I will not be able to fight the urge by this weekend.......that is if my temps remain high and look positive. I tested at 11dpo with Mason, and got my first positive.......sooooo, now I have a hard time getting past that day without wanting to test.
Something pretty frustrating going on at our house........can't get my husband to talk about "what's next" if I am not pregnant.....he says we will figure that out if it happens......I like to know that we have a plan.....the doc had said "1 IUI, then onto IVF"...well, if this is the case, we need to figure out how we are going to finance the process.....ummm, $11,000 is a lot of money....we dont have any savings anymore since we sold the house. I dont want the process to be delayed by not having the funds.......so i would like to discuss our options (ie: home equity loan, fertility medical loan)....going deeper into debt is a scary situation but on the bright side, I am expecting a large sum of money from a lawsuit sometime by the end of the year.....we will then be able to pay off all of our debt.......Well I guess, I will just have to wait until next week to start getting some of my questions answered....
