I am sorry to be a downer, but I need to vent so badly right now. I'm at 14dpiui and it's all been bfn's. I wasn't spotting at all yet, so I still had hope. But then, last night, we went to the Rockies game and of course when I went to the bathroom there was a little pink streak. I was so angry and frustrated and dejected I couldn't even talk to DH or DS for about an hour. I was just sitting there in a daze.
How do 2 perfectly sized little follies and 38.8 million washed and perfectly swimming little sperm not find each other? Especially when we had an HSG to clear my tube, and an IUI to put the sperm exactly where they needed to be? How do so many of us endure this month after month? We were able to get pregnant three times in the last two years on our own (although they were all losses), but we haven't been able to get pregnant at all since, for over a year. Even with everything being "perfect" this month, still nothing.
I hate this. I hate my stupid age. I hate my stupid body. I hate turning on the tv and seeing Kim Kardashian beaming with a big bump.
I do have to say, however, that I do love seeing bfp's here. It gives me hope, and I know you ladies have all felt like I feel at this moment. I'm crying while I'm writing this. Sorry to be such a downer, I just needed to get all this off my chest.

I get it. With 3 textbook and perfect failed IUI's under my belt it makes no sense to me either.
I was recently explaining to my SIL everything that goes into an IUI cycle and how conditions are all there to get pregnant. And yet. I still only
