So, I took a pregnancy test this morning (13dpIUI)..It was negative. Shortly after, I started spotting. I swear, something about pregnancy tests, it seems to trigger my period somehow.
I am pretty devastated. We had potentially 9 eggs, 100 mil sperm count, perfect lining. There is no good reason we shouldn't have gotten pregnant with at least one. We still have no real answers, but I have to assume at this point, there is a problem with my egg quality. Sometimes I think it'd be easier if we were just told we 100% could not get pregnant. We are officially moving onto adoption and I truly hope I can put this behind us. I really hope to go back to having sex for fun, not worrying about if I'm ovulating...not getting disappointed every time AF shows up. I am more than ready to stop with all these medicated cycles, side effects, and disappointments...
I wish you all strength in the rest your journeys and hope that each of you are able to achieve pregnancy. I appreciate all the support you all have provided over the past year. Thank you!

Oh Crene, I'm so sorry! I don't understand how everything can look good and still not work out in the end. Totally sucks.
I hope you guys have an easy time with the adoption process. Please keep us posted in your journey, I'd love to celebrate with you when you get a placement. ((hugs))
I'm sorry TTC didn't turn out the way you thought it would... but I know you are going to be a great momma to a sweet baby someday.
