And the hits keep coming....(BFP & loss mentioned, not mine)

So IUI # 1 was a bust.....or I'm assuming it is.  16dpo with negative HCGs and dropping temps, so we aren't hopeful.  Blood test tomorrow to confirm.   In the meantime, during the most agonizing TWW, I found out that a cousin and his girlfriend are pregnant - they got pregnant a few months ago by accident and lost the baby, which is sad but then they both decided they "liked the idea" of having a baby and decided to try again.  Good for them - but sad for us, of course.  Then a few more various work people have daughters/sons who all just conceived.  And the kicker - just found out that my ex-husband's new wife is expecting.  Now - just to be clear - we've been divorced almost three years, were married for 10, we never wanted children during that time and I am now married to the man of my dreams, happier than I ever imagined.....this news falls into the "It's not fair!!!" category.  I don't wish him ill but I also don't wish him extra happiness, and to have someone who hurt me so badly in the past to experience something my husband and I want so badly is just hard.  I'm trying to kick the Green Eyed Monster to the curb and move on, look forward to the possibilities with IUI#2 - and I will.  Just needed to vent for a minute and I knew that you ladies would understand.  Thanks for listening!!

I'm sorry it's been a rough few days for you! Announcements are so hard especially when you were dealing with the bfn; I'm sorry. Take some time for yourself this week!

I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work for you!  I always try to give myself one good cry and a couple of hours feeling all the jealousy and anger I want to when these announcements come along.  And then I try very hard to remind myself how lucky I am and how many other good things I have in my life that I should be thankful for.  It's not a miracle cure, it doesn't always work.  But I try.

Hugs for you and FX that next cycle is the one.

I'm so sorry for the BFN, and the tough news all hitting at once.

I want to say that even though the "green eyed monster" is knocking at your door, it sounds like you are a really thoughtful and kind person.
