I'm so sorry. I wish that you got better news.
I truly hate this for you.

Hoping that moving forward with IUIs brings you your baby.

    Thanks.

     

    I'm trying like hell to grasp the idea of going back to IUIs and being ok with it but I just don't know. If I could do an IUI this month I probably would. But to sit around and do nothing for another 6 months only to have a 15% chance with an IUI? Sounds like torture to me.

    Is medicated TI out of the question? I also think that testing a thawed sample would be prudent, as it may pleasantly surprise you, and with H's schedule, a backup plan that you're happy with would bring a lot of peace of mind. If you knew that a frozen sample was acceptable, would you cycle more frequently?

    Yeah, medicated TI won't work. I literally have no CM (really ever, sometimes when on high dosages of Follistim I'll have a teeny tiny bit).

    Honestly, it probably wouldn't even allow us to cycle more because if I used frozen sperm I'd have to go to the main clinic in B'ham (the satellite office doesn't house frozen sperm) and that requries taking a full day off of work. With as much as I've been out lately, taking a full day off to cycle every month isn't really a good idea...

    I wish I felt the same way.

    We won't be adopting, we won't be using DE, we won't be doing IVF again...I just don't see a 15% chance with an IUI giving us a baby.

    I know that sucky feeling.

    I put little faith in statistics when it comes to the individual.

    I have hope for you even though you may not.
