Wheeeeeee! We are both so relieved. If sex is like pizza, then last night was a frozen Jenos pizza. Thank God that is over with. Ugh.
I start progesterone today. I was trying to think the best time to take it. I thought 9 a.m., 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. Which is the widest spread that still leaves time for me to take my thyroid pill on an empty stomach. That brings my daily pill count to 14.
I cleaned all morning yesterday to get ready for the progesterone exhaustion. Today I am changing the sheets, and doing two more loads of laundry. 12 days till testing.
We are thinking if it does not work this month( incredibly likely) that we will skip next month. Because I just can't stand the idea of two months in a row of robot sex, and we have spent enough money this month between Mister's ER visit and the iui for both of us to feel slightly dizzy.
We budget 120 a month for doctors co- pays and 30 a month for prescriptions. We have spent over 250 this month, and have another 40 coming in co-pays. Plus we got 1200 in surprise( not really- we knew they were coming but not when) medical bills. So that is pretty far above what we normally spend. And that does not include whatever stragglers we have coming from the iui. All in all a month to breathe would be good.
Mister and I are gonna decide this weekend what to do. Not my usual jolly post, but we take our budget very seriously and if we have to iui every other month- well that is not the worst thing in the world.
I have to say that I am so sore. I feel like I went a round with John Holmes. MY LADYBITS ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR RENOVATION.

I think skipping a month is a good idea as long as you feel comfortable doing that. It's good for the pocketbook and the wallet, and your periods tend to come on their own which make taking a month off much easier (taking a month off for me tended to involve either $60 of bcps or $40 or prometrium... not great options).
I need a little of your energy! Come change my sheets and do my laundry while you've got the cleaning itch! :)
DH and I are learning about IF budgeting. Little expenses come from everywhere and add up so quickly. Good for ya'll taking your finances seriously and keeping it all under control.
oh my god! we had robot sex every month for almost two years! how 'bout them apples!
woot for the end to robot sex!! I hope that you don't even need to worry about taking next month off :) ow ow for optimism!
Yay for the end of the forced BDing! Wow, 3 progesterone pills a day! I only took 2, and I took them vaginally, so I think the side effects weren't as bad since it didn't go through my bloodstream. Good luck staying awake!
I totally understand wanting to skip a month. The robot sex and the expense are not fun at all.
