New to the Board
Hello! I'm new to the board. We are having our first IUI on Saturday at the Fertility Clinic. We have done five months of Clomid and haven't had success. We are having IUIs on Saturday and Sunday so I'm excited but nervous. We have been TTC for 20 months.
Just wanted to see what other experiences have been. It's a lonely road, especially when all of my friend's cough and get pregnant. Four out of five of my best friends are pregnant right now and they just don't understand. Looking forward to hearing from those that are going through the same thing.

Re: New to the Board
Welcome!
I hope your IUIs go well and they work their magic for you.
You'll find lots of women here dealing with what you just described. It's a very lonely feeling.
Are you familiar with RESOLVE? If you're near a major metro area you should check them out. They often have support groups for women going through IF and I met some great people there. It really helps to know others who are struggling too.
Best of luck & again, welcome.
