The fine line between positivity and over confidence

JazzFlute · January 2011

I had my first IUI today. The nurse and doctor were very happy with the post wash numbers and I have one follie on each side. The nurse said this should be a good cycle but added "sometimes, the sperm and egg just don't meet."

I am trying really hard to believe in the power of positive thinking but also trying not to get over confident. How do I do that? I'm scared of being so let down, like I was when we did a TI cycle last year that didn't work but I don't want to be negative and think "eh it didn't work so don't plan on being excited in two weeks."

Such a horrible mind game! Also, do you POAS before going in for your blood test? I don't know that I'll be able to stop myself!

We have not had our IVF cycle yet, but I can only imagine how hard it is not to pee on everything in the house before my beta.

Sounds like you have a great chance! Good luck to you and your DH!
