So sick of all of this

[Timetotry]

25 months ttc, pcos.
1 year on metformin
3 cycles clomid, no conception
2 iui on femara, menopur, progesterone. 3rd iui got cancelled.

I'm just so sick of this all. We took 2 months off recently and it felt so good to get back to 'real life'.

I just don't know how much more I can take. I thought I'd be better after a bit of time off, but after our iui got cancelled, I'm just as depressed as before, if not more.

I can't help but wonder at what point do people give up. How do you know when to give up, Sigh.

I have a follow up next month. See what to do now....

I can relate but your circumstances do not sound so dire.... I would still be hopeful. You haven't even done 6 cycles with fertility meds.
Can't I ask why the 3rd IUi was cancelled?

Personally I know I'll never give up. If it doesn't work I would want to be a foster mom and eventually adopt. But I would always try to have my own child.

Hang in there. I have so much confidence in ivf. Good luck.

I have actually done 6 months stimulated. My clinics protocol is to only do 3 months on each method before the recommend moving on.
I am ovulating on my own, ovulated on each of the 3 clomid cycles, and ovulated on each of the 3 iui cycles. Our 3rd iui was cancelled because my LH started to surge on its own, so we couldn't trigger. My follicles only grew to 1.5 cm and then stopped, so they weren't mature enough yet.
(btw, dh has perfect specimens each time)

My doctor mentioned that the next step would be laprascopic surgery and then ivf. We can't afford ivf right now . And the whole surgery and ivf scares me.

My clinic also requires a month off between injectable cycles, to let my ovaries recover.
It just takes so long, and is so hard to be patient when it's been such a long road already.
