A friend of mine has also been struggling TTC (tried on their own for 2 years before seeking help) and just had her first IUI about 2 weeks ago. Well, looks like one IUI was all it took, because yesterday she got a BFP from her beta test. I am so happy for them. And stories like this give me so much hope, even if our issues are different. Well, at least that was my initial response. Then I got sad thinking I wish I could be happy for us. I hate feeling this way, I just want to have 100% pure happiness for them, not tainted with jealousy.
TTC #1 Since October 2012
Me (35): 25mg of synthroid to keep TSH below 2.5
DH (35): 1% normal morphology
June 2013 - Started fertility testing
August 2013 - GonalF + Trigger + TI = BFN (IUI canceled - too many follies)
September 2013 - Benched due to cysts
October 2013 - GonalF + Ovidrel + IUI = BFP on HPT starting 10/31
December 2013 - Miscarriage due to Trisomy 16

Ugh! I think there is always that twinge of jealousy no matter how many IUIs the person has had or how happy you are for them. It always seems to sting for me -- some more than others.
Don't be too hard on yourself for feeling that way, OP. We have all been there more than we would like to admit.
Here's hoping you get your BFP soon!
