Not looking good

Well, of course I have been testing myself for the last week to see if I am pregnant. And, this morning at 12 days post IUI it is negative. I have a blood test scheduled on Thursday, but I just know that it's just not gonna happen this time around. It is early, but a lot of women get positive tests by now so I don't have any hope. If the beta (blood test) is negative, we will be moving on to IVF. Since the pregnancy rates are much higher with IVF, I have a lot of hope there. But, it will be two months before I know the outcome of the first IVF. This all takes up so much time and energy, I am exhausted...
