(oh and i want to organize everything, e.g. i bought a spice rack to organize all my spices tonight lolz)
but i digress: i am SO PISSED that this has been 6 IUI's (and a cancelled freaking IVF) and my "only" issue is non IR pcos (i still sometimes ovulate on my own off meds) i had a great response to all my treatments, in particular injectibles-- i had up to three follicles at a time. so why the F isn't it working!! i mean, what the hell is going on here! 6 freaking IUI's with perfect sperm counts, multiple follicles and STILL NOTHING. it's also getting hard to not blame myself here. jesus christ this is enough! oh and i am almost 36.5 yes, .5!
p.s. i am sure a certain faction of you will delight in my misery!
Re: every single time i hit 6dpo i become SUPER emotional- VENT!
Despite the fact that you don't really endear yourself to anyone, I don't think anyone would be applauding your circumstances. I am sorry you are frustrated. What is your next step? Hopefully things will turn around for you very soon.

well technically even with injectibles it's STILL only 20ish% chance each time, so the odds are against me no matter what. =( IVF though will double my chances.
20% are great odds! That's what a normal healthy fertile couple has, so I wouldn't say the odds are against you by any means. I was hoping for 8% with our IUI and we couldn't even get that, so that's why we moved to IVF.
i know, but i am a pessimist by nature so i look at is as 80% not happening.
Well, I certainly do not revel in your misery. I feel terrible for you. I can't even imagine what it feels like to go through all of that and still not be pregnant. It's a nightmare. I'm guessing you can't move to IVF yet because of insurance? I know you're our resident hater, but you're still one of us. I'm sorry you have to suffer like this.
p.s. I'm a pessimist too I guess, I stare at the odds constantly and focus on the chances I won't get pregnant.

It is totally emotional/frustrating...and I look at 20% as low odds too. Out of curiousity, did you get pregnant the first time with IUI or was that natural?
Also--are you kidding when you type lolz? I am not on the anti-CV train but it is like fingernails on a blackboard everytime you type that!
After 2 years of IF workups/treatments and 2 IUIs, we have closed the door on fertility treatments.
We are very excited to be pursuing international adoption from China!

yes, lolz = tongue in cheek. i got pregnant on an extended break from a failed couple of tries with clomid . i started working out (running) and diligently eating low-GI and my cycles regulated within 3 months and, surprise! it was hARD work though, i wish i had done it this time around as seriously. =( if this doesnt work this cycle, i am going to do it head-on again during my break. ugh
