@hoffmanr7 I'm so sorry for the BFN, we've been trying about the same number of cycles and it is so tiring... I'm sorry this month wasn't the month for you. I hope you can take some time this weekend to enjoy something you love and take your mind off of things.
@Labluver2 I'm sorry you have to abandon this cycle, you must be feeling discouraged. Hang in there, and remember that even though this is a small step backward overall you are moving closer to your goal

@Labluver2 so sorry to hear about the BFN it can be so frustrating!
As for me, 3rd IUI was a bust. Taking a break to see if we can get my short luteal phase figured out and try naturally for a bit. May try a naturopath since the RE didn't seem too invested in the outcomes. If not, I guess we start shopping for a new RE early next year? Ugh. At this point, I'm not sure I trust doctors to actually be able to figure out what's going on. Seems like it's been guesswork thus far.
QOTW: I don't steal the pen at banks (mostly because I rarely go) but hotel pens are fair game!
@hoffmanr7 I'm so sorry. I felt the same way with each Clomid cycle. I'm just one of those women who don't respond to Clomid, but boy my body loves Letrozole! I hope you find what works soon.

@hoffmanr7 we haven't been trying that long yet, but I've definitely had those thoughts exactly, especially when I have patients who are pregnant despite doing drugs, eating like crap, and knowing literally nothing about their bodies. why do those women get to be pregnant with no effort and I don't?! Its not fair. But, when I do get pregnant It will mean so much more to me and my partner than it possibly could to anyone who hasn't struggled.
When I talk to other women who have struggled they get it. They understand it means more and it's really great to know they are there supporting and rooting for me.

I find myself constantly getting bogged down with thoughts like this. DH and I have been trying for three years..*TW* with one BFP that resulted in MC..and then I have multiple friends that got pregnant on accident or first try.
@hoffmanr7 I feel the exact same way. Why is nothing we are doing working?!?!

@hoffmanr7@PoeMasque@SoonToBeMommaHowe I did the same thing after I got my BFN on Wednesday. I said to my mom that there were murderers and rapists and drug addicts who were able to have kids no problem, and here I am 5 years later trying so hard and getting nowhere. (I also said that I must be a really terrible person, in that case.. in my defense, I was extremely depressed)
