3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

Bma that's so awesome that you can feel baby move! I can't wait for that!

Strawberry, I'm starting to relax and enjoy things a bit more. Still worried, but trying to enjoy this experience while I can. I did get in another fender bender right before I started IVF, I haven't had good car luck lately! And there was that other accident this summer when someone ran into my car while I wasn't in it....
 
Bma I didn't realize you knew the sexes- so it's a boy and a girl?? How exciting!

Stay- ugh definitely not good luck in the car department, but your luck is changing! Just think soon you'll be putting a car seat in there :)

Thanks for all your encouragement these last few days guys. It certainly hasn't been easy but with you guys and my family staying positive for me I do feel much better that if and when I need to do this again I can make it through.
 
:) yeah a boy and a girl!! Thanks



Strawberry- How are you feeling? When is OTD?
 
That's awesome BMA!

Strawberry, enjoy being PUPO!!! My brief moments where I wasn't fretting about results I just really enjoyed the idea of being PUPO!!
 
My otd is next Tuesday 10/1, I think my plan is to take an hpt that morning before I go that way I don't have to find out while I'm at work.

Yeah pink I meant to ask the same thing, when is your sono?
 
Tomorrow morning you guys. I'm so NERVOUS!! Pretty sure I'm not getting any sleep tonight.
 
Pink good luck today let us know if there are twins in there!

Strawberry, I hope you are enjoying being PUPO...if your not thats ok too, trust me I remember that anxiety its completely normal!! As hard as it is time passes much slower when you are sitting around thinking bout it. Try and keep busy. Are you back at work?

So my update:
Friday I got my period and with it I miscarried out whatever was in here. It was a really heavy and painful period. Sorry TMI lol...For the most part I was ok, I think because I was expecting it and would have been much harder had I had a healthy pregnancy from the start. I have an appt with my RE today to discuss the next steps. I dont even know what a FET entails and if I should wait for my body to heal or not. What do you guys think? Would u do it right away or wait? I'm so scared of the same thing happening again.:growlmad:

babywish, thanks so much for updating us. i'm so sorry you ended up miscarrying. i have heard of most people waiting a month or two before a FET after a miscarriage but don't know what the medical reasons are pro/con...i would definitely do what feels right and if that means waiting a few months to heal, it will be all worth it. :hugs:
 
i'm feeling ok, thanks! i have been having a lot of morning sickness the past several weeks but it seems to be getting to a point now where it's not all day every day. i found these ginger tummy drops on amazon and those have been a life saver.

our very close friends and family know (assuming they knew about the IVF) but we are looking forward to sharing w/ the rest of our friends and family...i think we'll wait until oct. 16 since that's my next OB appointment...it'll be 12w5d by then.
 
Ok Ladies. Back from the clinic... bit of a roller coaster as usual. They were able to see that I do currently have TWINS on board! Saw 2 heartbeats, 2 yolk sacks, the whole 9. However, one of them is measuring small at 6w+1 (I'm actually 6w+5 today) and the heartbeat is 90bpm. He said it should be around 110bmp. The doctor said he doesn't expect that one to make it, but the other one is looking really good. So I'm obviously really happy that I got one good one in there, but I can't help but be bummed that the other one is struggling. I'm supposed to go back again next week to see how they're getting on.


Baby.wish - I'm glad that the worst is behind you now. :hugs: As for the FET, I'm not sure but I don't think it matters if you go for it right away. I have a buddy on here that got preg again the very next month after a m/c and now she's quite far along and having a great pregnancy.
 
wow pink, that's both great and sad news at the same time. i'm praying the little twin stays strong and surprises everyone. keep us posted and in the meantime, enjoy your pregnancy. :)
 
Pink, I knew it had to be twins with your high betas! So happy for you that one of them is doing really well and I sure hope the small twin makes it. Is it possible that one just implanted a little later? I know a lot of singleton pregnancies when they are a little small and then pull through.

Baby wish: I would think you'd have to wait maybe 2 months... Who knows. But I did a FET and it is super easy on your body. You take estrogen pills and patches , then do your PIO shots or the suppositories and then about 6-7 days later you do the transfer. My RE said FET are just as good if not better than a fresh ivf cycle. If you have any questions don't hesitant to ask. :)


Pink- that's really great news & a little worrisome ... and I sure hope the little one has a growth spurt :)

Aw I hope that twin makes it and like someone else said maybe it did implant later. GLad to hear it went well otherwise!

Hi Maverick thanks for the info! How do they stop ovulation from happening? Did you have to go in to the clinic alot?
 
Pink- so glad to hear that at least one of your little bubbas is doing great! I hope the other bean catches up really soon :)

Babywish- hmm i don't know the answer to that, but if I were you I'd probably want to take a little break in between. Even yesterday when I spoke to my doc I asked if this one failed how long id have to wait and he said in most cases I could start the next month, but I don't think I could go through all that again so soon. And I'm sure it's different for a m/c but I'd say give your body a little time, and since it's a FET it will definitely be less invasive than your fresh cycle.
