First IUI unsuccessful.. Trying to stay positive.
Hi Ladies,
I've been a member (tracking and charting on this site) since October. DH and I have been TTC for 2 years now with no success. We had our first IUI in March, which I found out yesterday from my Beta was not a success. I tested at 11dpiui and 13dpiui with a HPT which was negative. I questioned on going in for my Beta but hoped for a miracle. I am heart broken. I'm trying to stay positive. I just want to move on and start my new cycle but the Progesterone has delayed AF. I've been very private about my infertility. We've both had extensive testing and all numbers are 'excellent'. I just don't understand. It isn't fair. My sister is pregnant, along with my best friend (and several other friends). They are unaware of my pain (my sis knows we've been trying but I don't go to her since she's pregnant and well, it's awkward trying to express the pain this has caused us). Hoping for some support from you ladies. Please tell me there's hope. Any success stories from IUI and/or how many cycles it took would be encouraging, or how many you did before moving on to IVF. Thank you for hearing my vent. It helps to type it out. Baby Dust to you all!!

Hi Faith. I'm in the same boat. We've been really trying for about a year and a half (9 months on and off with medication). Just had our first IUI and not looking too good. All our numbers are good, all the tests have been good. My dr said I do have PCOS, but that everything else has looked great along the way...but nothing has worked. Right after we started trying, my younger sister announced she was pregnant (the same day I got AF). Then just about every friend I know got pregnant, followed by my other sister. I couldn't go to anyone with any of this until after my sister had her baby...people thought I was trying to steal the spotlight :( Now I have been a little more open with a few people about it, but my sister is still completely disinterested in my problems. The last few weeks my facebook feeds have been taken over by new baby pics from all these friends. And as happy as I am for them, it makes me sad at the same time. This is the first post I've made after following these boards religiously through all of this. You are right...It does help to type it out! Trying to stay positive through it all! Baby dust to you!!!

Wow, Jillybean- Our situation is so similar! I'm sorry your sister isn't offering you the support you need. I know how tough that can be when you're looking to lean on your family during this process. I go to my husband for support, since I feel no one close to me would be able to relate (and I'd rather be private about our journey). My FB is filled with baby pics, lots of newborns and first BDay parties. I feel joy then pain, then I feel guilty for feeling the pain. I've attended 3 baby showers last month and I'm hosting 2 for my sister this month. I had to leave one a little earlier, got into my car and burst into tears. When will it be our turn?! :( That said, I'm trying so hard to stay positive, pray and not be too fixated on being pregnant. I know it's hard when your life evolves around RE appointments, ultrasounds and fertility shots. I also was told not to get my heart rate up back in October, and working out is a big part of my life. This has been a tough journey! But I know in the end it will be worth it. Tomorrow DH and I go in for our second IUI. Then begins the 2WW all over again! :) I've also incorporated acupuncture this cycle. Today I'll be going to my 'pre-IUI' session. Thinking of you during this time and wishing you lots of baby dust!
Opalfoxy- hearing about your close friend's second IUIs is encouraging, thank you for sharing. Keep me updated on your second- wishing you lots of baby dust as well sweetie! xx
