I'm pretty sure I'm getting my period. The tests I have taken have been starkly negative. I'm not expecting a miracle tomorrow. I was pretty optimistic at the start of this TWW and I'm bumming a bit now.
This was our first IUI but the first time I've been sweating the two week wait in the last six months. I know it's really early in the process compared to other people but it's been tougher than I remember.
I have purposely been burying my head in the sand about IVF but took my first journey down the rabbit hole. And now I'm terrified. I'm also tempted to just say F IUI and cut to the chase and go to IVF. My insurance is extremely generous. I have unlimited IVF but think I have to have three unsuccessful iui's under my belt before that kicks in. My husband says I'm being negative and that I'm getting ahead of myself. While he is supportive, I feel like I'm being gutted each time and it just seems easier for him.
@Natinat6 that is amazing your insurance covers so much! Mine covers nothing, not even clomid or shots... luckily at least my pharmacy has discounts they pass on to me everything else is oop. That has to be a huge weight off the shoulders, this is hard enough that is awesome!! Good luck, I hope you dont have to go all the way to IVF. FX.

We are very fortunate. I have to pay a somewhat large amount to get to where everything is covered. But the fact that I'm getting multiple ultra sounds etc a month it has been simple to hit that number. We are very very lucky. I can only imagine the extra layer of unneeded stress that adds to this whole mess. You're much stronger than I would be I imagine.
Got my beta results this afternoon. 986!!! (11 days post FET) I can't even believe it but I'll still temper my excitement until I see those numbers climb like they're supposed to.
pascorra - I'm crossing my fingers for you in the hardest way. It only takes one!
Good luck, @Natinat6! I'm wishing for your miracle, too. Wouldn't wish this IVF crap on anyone! Still just hoping this pregnancy progresses well so we don't have to another FET until we decide (if) we want another.
@khochanadel I am so anxious all the time with this! I go in for my second beta tomorrow and I just have my fingers crossed the number rises! It is literally making me sick to my stomach my nerves and I just want it to be the second trimester so bad!
As expected, a BFN. On to my next IUI. As a cruel joke, my period is late. It is never late. I get it every 28 days, after lunch. I'm spitting now but the late period seems like a big FU.
Natinat6 That really sucks. I'm sorry you have to do another IUI and that AF is being a b****. Hoping for you so hard next cycle!
@kendra0312 how did beta #2 go? I went up from 986 to 2272 so I feel like I can breathe a teeny tiny sigh of relief. When I had my ectopic my number never got above 252 and I was so afraid I was in for more disappointment all over again.
@khochanadel my 2nd beta was 48 hours later and went up to 877 they said it was a perfect rise I thought it was suppose to double but I guess they just want a 60% increase
I did FET of 2 "fair grade" embryos on 9/24. Beta is scheduled tomorrow. The HPT came out positive today so I am cautiously hopeful. Since I have had one ectopic pregnancy (conceived naturally) and one failed fresh IVF cycle, I am afraid to get too excited and can only hope and pray for the best. Good luck to each one of you
