Finally Making My Intro

Hello all,
I have to admit I have been reading this message board for months but am only just introducing myself. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 yrs. Even though I was 36 when we start I waited over a year to go to a fertility clinic, convinced if I could just get the ovulation timing right things would work out. In the past 6 months we have had 2 failed IUI cycles and I learned today that our IVF transfer didn't take. We now have 1 embryo left and I'm feeling pretty hopeless. I have 3 close friends who all got pregnant this year so easily. I love them so much and hate feeling so resentful of their happiness. Anyway, thanks to everyone in this community for your openness. It is a true comfort.

<div class="QuoteText">Thanks so much @ffm11. Taking a month off to try and feel normal again and reset. On a side note, why don't the drs warn you how terrible your period will be after a failed transfer?? </div>

Idk When my first transfer failed (medicated cycle) it was absolutely. Horrid. Like worst period ever. 😖 Insult to injury, right? My other two failed natural cycles were not that bad, I don't know if the meds have anything to do with it. (((Hugs)))
