Oh, I'm sorry. I think it's important to let yourself wallow for a day or two when AF shows up. I find, for me anyway, it gives me the ability to get out all my frustration and disappointment, either on the punching bag or in a margarita, Then I can move on with the trying again next month mantra.
I have made it sort of a tradition...every month when AF shows up, i say "hey, i get a bottle of wine today...yay!" Then i drink a lovely big glass and try to think of all the reasons it is better NOT to have conceived this particular month (after all, do i really want an aires baby?)
I am so sorry to hear that. I can unfortunately relate. My IUI failed also, so I had alcohol and ice cream over the weekend and started AF yesterday, so I am slowly feeling better about trying again next month...
Hang in there and do something nice for yourself. Mani's and pedi's are always nice!

sorry to hear that. definitely pamper yourself a bit before gearing up for the next IUI. i know when my first two IUIs didn't work i went into the 3rd not expecting anything at all - and wound up having a chemical pg. while i was upset with the chemical i was happy that something was finally working and that i had progress in a weird way. best of luck moving forward.
