Everything happens for a reason: I got my period

Wednesday, May 12

I got my period

and then I ate this...

Leaning towards another iui this cycle just wondering where exactly we're going to find the extra funds but I guess we'll just worry about that later. Better get a move on some more of my client work that's still hanging in the wings.

I think I'm ok. Disappointed and kinda sad but ok.
