Not only did we not do IUI this month, we’re going to take a break from pregnancy tests, too. I’ve pointed out that there are three stages of disappointment when you fail to get pregnant:

  1. The early test: Negative (disappointment #1)
  2. The retaking of the test because maybe the last one was too early: Negative (disappointment #2)
  3. Days later wondering if you’re in that 1% of people who might still be pregnant, but then inevitably find out you’re not when period arrives (disappointment #3)
