First disappointment since returning to RE...

in Trouble TTC
So, AF came today. Three days late, and a TON of pregnancy symptoms... needless to say I left work early and had a huge cry fest. I don't know why I get so hopeful... this time felt so different than the others when we first tried IF last year that I guess I couldn't help myself. I had nausea, sensitivity to smells, pressure in my abdomen, fatigue, swollen and tender breasts, strange dreams for the past week - even my cat was being all clingy around me which has never happened in the six years I've had her. And AF being late - well, it's never ever late, except (it seems) when I'm on Clomid. :'(

Sorry, I just had to vent to someone. My DH is ultra supportive but he just doesn't quite get it, you know? I mean, it's not quite the same for him.

Anyway, not a great way to be ringing in the New Year... but I'm going to try and think positive and hope that this cycle works - we're going to be doing Clomid and IUI with Ovidrel this time, so... Maybe all those symptoms mean that my body is ready? Trying to stay positive..... >.<

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

    I'm sorry! ((Hugs))! The only thing that has helped me through this journey is the support of DH and having a positive attitude. It's very hard, but I think has made me stronger. GL!

    Thanks @WA1215 - I appreciate it. Yes, my DH has been wonderful and I couldn't ask for better! He even goes with me to all my RE visits :) I love him dearly. And I usually let myself have a few hours of self-pity, then I brush myself off and I think toward the future and never get stuck in what-ifs and could-have-beens. It keeps me from going insane.

    Good luck to you, too!

    Hugs!! Good luck with your next cycle. I'm in a slump waiting for AF, but I find that once I get the go-ahead after my CD3 appointment, new cycle excitement sets in.

    (((Hugs)))

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(
