Middle of First IUI Cycle...

[Millnsy]

Hello all

I haven't posted for a while because I've felt a little detached from this section. Came in here today and noticed more lovely ladies at about the same stage as me so thought I would come out of the woodwork and share.

I have just finished my fifth day of injections on my first IUI cycle and am going tomorrow for a day 10 scan to see how the follies are growing. To the ladies who have had their IUI recently, what day did you have the actual IUI done? I am trying to plan my week at work and will need to rearrange meetings but noone at work knows what I'm going through and I want it to stay that way.

Whilst part of me thinks that the IUI should be the most important thing at the moment, I don't want work to suffer. I don't really have any faith that it will work and feel kind of stubborn about changing all my plans yet again just in case by some long shot of a miracle I might actually finally get pregnant. I'm really beginning to resent the whole process at the moment and am fed up with how the whole TTC is getting in the way of everything else. Why does it have to be so all consuming and inconvenient. Normal people just bonk and get up the duff. Why do I have to take time out of work and skulk around being secretive. Where's the romance in that?

Not sure where that rant came from... does anyone else feel the same? Stupid question, I'm sure a lot of you do... thats the great thing about this site, just knowing that someone out there actually understands...

Need to get out of this mood because the fertility nurse told me I had to have sex tonight... wow, how spontaneous is that?!?!?!

Hey Millnsy - I'm not quite at the IUI stage yet (one more cycle of Clomid then the next stage is IVF apparently...haven't yet checked the specifics!) but I completely understand your comment on this being all-consuming!!!

I always think how lovely would it be to have the romantic that I had at the beginning of this journey and for a to be the outcome...instead I've just started getting resentful about the whole process and having to timetable the which is soooo unspontaneous and down right miserable!!

I hope your IUI is a success though - fingers and toes crossed for you my lovely!!!

Dh and I make sure we at the right time but even after a year now we don't find it routine. I dunno, maybe it's cause we're both horny and love sex anyway? I mean I get the whole TTC taking over your life part but thankfully it hasn't invaded that for us yet. We're waiting for our call to go to the clinic for IUI. They said 3 to 6 months and it's been almost 1 month! Ugh the agony of waiting. The good news is I won't be working while I go through with it, I'll be in school though. DH will have to arrange work around producing his sample though.

I just wanted to drop in a wish you the best of luck...the frustration is worth it ladies..

Thank you for your message of hope! We go for the actual IUI tomorrow. I'm letting myself get a teeny weeny bit excited now...
