Infertility

need to vent/next round of injections

So today I was supposed to go for beta but instead AF showed up. This was our first IUI. I went into it with low expectations but always still hopeful. I noticed some light stuff early Tuesday and I told myself I'd be ok if I got a BFN or if AF came but it was much harder than I anticipated. I broke down and poor DH did not know what to do but I just needed to cry it out. So since today is day one of my new cycle I go Saturday for labs and U/S to see if we start over. So FX we can start round two Saturday. Thanks for listening.

Re: need to vent/next round of injections

  • FX for you this cycle! This is also our second round and it's really crappy. We were devastated with our BFN. It even has us worried to even hope this cycle, but it gets exciting all over again once you start the cycle again, which I didn't think would happen. Injections have pretty good success rates, so I'm hopeful and rooting for you, and everyone else suffering with infertility (including myself) GL and FX for your BFP!

  • FX for you ladies!!! I'm doing my first IUI this cycle (my RE is having me do injections right off the bat). CD1 is today or tomorrow for me (hopefully). I feel your pain and I know I will be devastated if this doesn't work. I hope we all get BFPs!!

    There's nothing wrong with crying, you will still be ok.  It's hard and it sucks.  Balancing emotions--staying positive but trying to manage expectations--for me it's impossible to balance all the time, and the lows are low.  Hugs.  

    FX for you that your next cycle will be it.  Hope second round is a charm for @SassyLass17, @alqizwik, and first IUI is it for @wifeinraleigh28!

  • Thanks ladies! I just felt like I was bubbling over with emotion and needed to cry it out.

    I am excited to start our next round. Even thought AF is absolutely killing me right now. This is the first one after the first round and I think all the meds are making it a little bit worse for me. But it's all for the greater good!

    GL and FX
  • I'm so sorry you got a BFN :( Even if its the first IUI it still REALLY sucks. I was so hopeful with my first cycle that it really bummed me out. I hope your next cycle goes better! Don't get your hopes up-while IUI does work for some the first time the chance of it working the first time is actually really low! Moving forward those chances go up! :) Im praying for you that you will get your BFP soon!!

  • Thank you @mskeenan. I really didn't expect much for the first round. I knew I'd the low success rate (my best friend went thru this as well). If it happened I would have been elated but not devastated if it didn't. I was of course upset when AF showed up. I have a little more hope this time because now I feel that the Dr knows how my body reacts to the meds and can gauge everything better.

    Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback!
