First IUI = Unsuccessful

[lv2016]

Well, our two-week wait is over a day early. V's period made its very unwelcome arrival today. Thumbs down to that!

When V got home from work, I asked her how she felt about it. Because my wife is a scientist, she answered my question by explaining to me our odds and talking about research (stuff I already know). I asked again so I could get a real answer (hello, feelings?!). V admitted to feeling disappointed, but I am clearly more upset than she is.

So, now we wait another couple of weeks for our next attempt. Blah.

I'm sorry TTC can suck so much. I hope the next few weeks move quickly for you!

I'm sorry lv2016.

I'm sorry. That stinks.

I'm sorry to hear it. Waiting to try again is sometimes almost as hard as waiting to pee on a stick

So sorry lv2016. I definitely tend to be the "focus on the science" one too, just another way of coping with that awful disappointment. Hugs and fingers crossed for the next round.

It's the worst. I'm sorry. I know exactly how you feel. Please keep your head up, and focus on the positive. I don't know when it will happen, but I know that it will happen for all of us. Cry it out, and move on to the next cycle.

I'm so sorry. The emotional rollercoaster of TTC is very real, and its hard. Enjoy each other, and hopefully the next couple of weeks will pass quickly!

Thanks to all of you for your kind and encouraging words. It is so nice to feel this support!

I'm sorry it didn't happen this time. FX next time will be the charm!

It's also extremely hard to be the non carrying spouse! I was a wreck the two times J tried and was so thankful when we switched to me.

So sorry your first IUI didn't work. I remember being so optimistic for our first try that it was especially hard when we found out it didn't work. Trying to conceive can be all consuming. Hope you're able to enjoy your time between tries.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks, everyone. This is such a welcoming group. I really appreciate your sentiments. V and I plan to have a fun weekend with friends.

I'm sorry. There is so much anticipation with the first one.
