I couldn't break my BFP virginity. AF got me yesterday. BFP virginity continues for me.
Hoping for a BFP by Christmas at least.
Hatethwait! We are practically cycle buddies. I just had my Fourth IUI yesterday. We can ride out the TWW together. You had WAY more follies than me. I only had 1 for sure, with another that may or may not have ovulated (it was 12 mm last they checked 4 days before IUI, but I was given extra letrozole in the hopes it caught up to the big follie by the time of IUI day. I'm feeling positive this cycle too. I feel like things were times correctly and I did everything I possibly could to cover my bases. If it didn't work this time, I'm moving on to injectibles.

Yay! I love a cycle buddy! One is all you need, but I hope the letrozole was able to get the other to "catch up!"
This was my first cycle with injectibles. I did a hybrid cycle though, so I had letrozole 12.5mg cd3-7 and follistim cd8-10. My first IUI, I had 2-3 eggs and my second IUI, I only had 2. I think we mis-timed my first couple also and feel really good about the timing this time. Having lots of cramping this evening (nearly 36 hrs after trigger) so I hope the are sitting there waiting for the eggs! I'm not sure if I'll do a 4th IUI or move on to IVF next time. How many IUI's do you think you'll do? Hopefully we don't need any more after this though!

You responded so well to the hybrid cycle! Wow!! If this round doesn't work for me, I'll try injectables for a round or two at most. I feel like I need to try injectables at least once before moving on to IVF just to say I tried everything.
My DH and I are just starting to talk about what happens if IUIs don't work. We never considered they wouldn't work, so this is very hard. I think we will maybe take a small break, and come back to do IVF this winter or early spring. I'm not entirely sure how we will pay for it though without massively cutting into our savings.... But we will just have to figure it out. Not being parents is just not an option for us. Anyway, hoping it doesn't come to that because this cycle may have worked, right? Part of us also thinks maybe we should look into adoption instead of IVF and use our money that way.... But DH is adopted and he's always wanted that genetic link because he's never had that in his life. I think we'd have to try IVF if it came to that for that reason alone...or we would always wonder what if.
What about you? How long are you willing to go with IUIs? It's such a roller coaster... This stupid infertility journey.
Looks like I'm going to remain a virgin for another cycle. Large temp drop this morning so now I wait for what I'm pretty sure is inevitable.
