Hey everyone, I had my second IUI Saturday morning and also managed to throw my back out so bad I can barely walk. I’ve been taking muscle relaxers, Tylenol and even painkillers because I feel like my health (at this point) is more important than a hypothetical baby’s health. But I feel so guilty! Am I ruining everything? What if it works this time and the baby suffers some consequences? I don’t think I would change anything because my back REALLY hurts but I’m just having a hard time managing my emotions & expectations.

Also, all my friends got pregnant without interventions, so no one is familiar with the weird stress of the TWW. I don’t know if it’s just mom guilt starting early, or if I really have ruined our chances this cycle. Thoughts?
