TTC after 35

Moving on to IVF

IUI #2 has officially failed. ?This is the biggest blow yet. ?I have been crying for over an hour and can't help but wonder what I ever did to deserve this. Of course, tomorrow is one of those work days when I will be expected to be really UP. ?This totally sucks. ?I am calling the RE for my IVF consult tomorrow to see how soon we can get this ball rolling. ?I don't know how much more we can take!

Thanks for listening. ?You all are such an amazing support.?

Re: Moving on to IVF

  • Left HugI am so sorry. Right Hug   I hate those days at work where I just really want to bury myself under the covers and hide. I know it will be looming on your mind but hopefully being busy will keep your mind off of it even for a little bit.  Then I suggest a big glass of wine and a bath and let the tears flow.  It is ok to be very sad.  I hope IVF works.  Let us know what the RE says.  We are all here for you.  I wish I could give you my real shoulder to cry on.

  • Oh Indiana. I was gone for the night and came back for one peek and this took my breath away. ((((((hugs)))))).

    I am so very sorry. You did nothing to deserve this, some things just happen. You tell that RE to come up with a plan stat or we'll all be over to kick him in the aas.

    Take care of yourself, okay?

     

     

     

  • So sorry to hear your IUI didn't work out. I think moving to IVF will renew your spirit and I hope will be the winning ticket for you. We'll all be here for you to cheer you on.

  • Hi Indiana, I am sorry to read your post. As you may recall I know the feeling too well and after 7 failed IUI's we had success with IVF. I just know that it was our hero. GL and I pray that you move forward and are soon posting on SAIF!
  • Indiana, I'm so sorry to hear this! I have tears for you. I will pray for you and wish you the best on the next step. Iluvtom provides a wonderful inspiration and I wish you success with IVF!?
  • oh, I am so sorry to hear this.....I know all too well how badly you wanted this one to work out.  With having experienced 4 failed IUIs myself, I can understand the extreme disappointment that you are feeling.  I really hope IVF is the answer for you and your DH.  ((hugs))

    I am so so sad to read this.  My heart is breaking for you. I'm not here all that often anymore since now we're not sure if we will be ttc again after the year wait from the gestational trophoblastic disease diagnosis and chemo  But I do peek on from time to time to check on you. 

    There is absolutely nothing that you have done to deserve this. 

    I hope somehow you will have the grace you need to get through your day.  Days like that can be so tough. 

    Anyway, I will be praying for you and can't wait to hear about your IVF plan. 

    Big hugs.

  • Indy,

    This totally sucks.

    As others have said, you did NOTHING to deserve this. You've been doing everything right.

    I'm sorry this didn't work, but hopeful that IVF will be the ticket for you and your DH.

    You are not alone. We are all grieving with you today. And we will all be cheering you on when you start IVF.

    Wishing you the best getting through work today. Then come home and cry as much as you need to. Spend the weekend taking very good care of yourself - spoil yourself!

     

  • I'm so sorry.   You did nothing to deserve this.  Hopefully you will have better luck with IVF.
  • Sorry to hear this news. ?Take a little time for yourself and do what you want, cry, sleep, whatever. ?I am wishing the best for you when you do IVF.

  • I am so sorry, Indiana.  I was so sad to read your post.  You have done absolutely nothing to deserve this.  It is really unfair.  Hang in there and cry away!  I really think IVF is going to work for you.  Think about all of the people for whom it has worked.  I would think that almost all of those people had an IUI(s) which didn't work first, but then IVF did work.  Come on this board and vent and cry away as much as you need to.  That is what we are here for.

    <<<<HUGS>>>>

  • I am so so very sorry.  I know how crushed you must feel.  But, you have a plan and are moving forward.  That is what you must do.

    My good friend had numerous failed IUIs and is now pregnant after her first IVF attempt, I am praying for the same for you.

    There are so many people sending you love and prayers...you WILL have your baby.  It may be a rough road...but I truly believe you will.  You must too!

  • oh no! I totally came on here today to search for you and see if you tested! I'm so sorry!! Did you test today or did AF show?? I am sooo nervous....I am waiting 2 more days to test since tomorrow will officially be 2 weeks since the IUI but I know that AF can show at any moment and I'm so scared.

    I'm really really sorry that you are so sad....I feel the same way with the "What did I ever do to deserve this!?!" I just hope that your plans for IVF is your answer! I'm here if you need to talk!
