Hi cdefonso, keep the faith and #3 will be a charm :) Good luck to you.

harrisongoodall and CAI. I am so sorry to hear about the news. I was really praying for you both and hoping to hear good news. I thought about you both this morning when I got up. I am so happy to hear that you will both be trying again. My husband and I already said we will try again as well, if it doesn’t work out this time around. Try to stay positive. It sounds like you both have amazing support systems. I know it will happen for all of us in time and we will all appreciate it that much more because of all the things we had to go though. Please keep in touch on here. I will post my results next week. All my best…

harrisongoodall and CAI I am so sorry to hear that your rounds didn't work! I was really hoping for you that the news would be good. Hang in there...I am so nervous now....I am going to do my first round this month, and I don't know how I would be able to take a negative result. I already have my hopes so high, and so much money invested into this. I started my first round of clomid today. so far so good, no side effects. I ordered my donor, and I am so excited about the one we picked. I think that I am going to ask my Doc if he will double up on the insemination to give me a better chance...has that worked for anyone here? I am hoping that I have a better than average chance of this working on the first go round...as our fertility problems are completely MF, and all of my tests are clear and good. please keep your fingers crossed for me! Our parents are just chomping at the bit to spoil a little one! :0)

CAI; the nurse i spoke to today said i would be able to try again but not while march..gutted! worst thing is we have a holiday booked in on the time we would be t the hospital, was booked last year all paid for £6000!! my partner really wants me to go to give me a break and to try and relax..what to do!! please help, that could be my chance of having a baby, a holiday can alway wait right? and hope your doing ok, i am really praying for you tht it work next time. my partner tried to always see the better side of things and say..you never no it might not have worked this time cause we ment be to have 2 at once!! lol, he is soo wanting twins, i dont mind 1 will do for me lol..but kept me updated and ill try help u through you 2nd 2ww x

harrisongoodall and CAI so sorry to read the results today. : ( I know how you feel. I thought of myself as a pretty level headed person, and that the iui probably will not work for me the first time (which it didn't) but I was really upset when I finally got AF. It is that LONG waiting time that plays with your head and emotions.

harrisongoodall if the doc wanted you to take a month off, then two could work also....I would go on vacation and have a honeymoon. It will be your last vacation without a baby! Oh, and I wanted to tell you that I'm a teacher and on the DAY I got my period and knew for sure no baby inside...one of my class parents tells me she is 9 weeks pregnant. She had no idea I had gone through all this and I didn't say anything - but how ironic. Maybe your brother in law didn't know the timing of his news??

I was wondering if there is a higher chance of getting pregnant naturally after a neg iui result. Just because this month I ovulated on day 10 (so early, weird) I had a little bleeding on days 13 and 14. I never had that before.
**Baby Dust ***

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum but have been enjoying all of your posts. It's amazing how many people have the same struggles. I am 36 ttc for almost 2 yrs for first time. I've done 5 cycles of clomid and cd3 follistim as well as HcG triggers. Today is cd12 and I had my first iui. The u/s yesterday showed one good follie on each side. I have unexplained infertility. I'm praying that I will have a first time success story! The wait is going to be torture. Thank you all for sharing your stories and your words of encouragement. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Baby dust to us all!

Hollymouse; thankyou for your reply, hey maybe it will work with no iui, how great would that be? infact it would be better than great!! do you have any symptoms when your ovulating? i never no! i cant believe how rubbish i still feel today, even thou i new tht it wasnt going to work first time, i though was fully set to here it was a negative result! clearly i wasnt, we both really do want to go away but there is just that little voice at the back of my head telling me to stay and have iui!! hey who knowes might catch on this month with no iui! i am calling back the hospital today, as when i called for my results and couldnt speak and didnt take any thing in of why i had to have a months break, when others are fine to go ahead staright away and try again, my oartner has been really good and very supportive, still at bit sad with the brother inlaw found out yest that he has just been told before he called that our iui didnt work, but still he decided to call any way, and he had none about his mrs been pregnant 4 weeks before! well thats that! so when do you start your next iui? x

clong; hi there welcome to this forum, i really hope that you do have a first time iui (positive) story, i was poorly after my first iui with flu sure it was (swine flu) so i didnt really suffer from the 2ww as much as others and your self, as i was asleep most of it lol, all way through my 2ww i had a negative frame of mind...but for you keep positive!! the more i did think to myself it wasnt going to work the more crap i felt! next time i will build all my strength and think to myself rite it is going to work this time, i have good a good chance and there is nothing wrong with me...then carry on as usual! i no it may sound a little crazy but after going through iui and having sad results makes me feel i want to be stronger for next time., i really do wish you all the luck and baby dust you need.. keep us updated and stay positive x

Well, harrisongoodall - I had a bad migraine since yesterday and all my info says I shouldn't have any headaches if pregnant. (Not that I've ever been pregnant so who knows!!) My migraines are supposedly hormone induced. I think my body is probably still regulating itself after all the emotions I put it through last month! I am so so so amazed at the ladies that can go right back for another iui the very next month. I needed the mental rest!
About the vacation, can you post pone it? Listen to your inner voice, because if you don't you will never enjoy the vacation anyway! You could always go while your pregnant I suppose!! Best wishes to you too, clong. Stay strong...the first 2ww is the hardest...so I've heard (I only did one iui so far). xoxo

Hollymouse; i called back the nurse today just a few questions i needed answering so... i wanted to no why i couldnt have iui on this coming period and why i had to wait a month, she explained that having iui 2nd time straight after the first iui would make me over produce folicles! so your body needs that rest! also get this...... she said its amazing how many women catch on between iui's as your more fertile..how strange!! as for the holiday, i am going to give it a miss..yeah its alot of money gone down the drain, but i want baby much much more than a couple of weeks in the sun! just cant wait till the day im pregnant! i suppose we really are all in the same boat x

harrisongoodall.....Wow, you made my heart skip a beat with what the nurse told you about being more fertile... And you also made me feel soooo much better about taking a rest this month. My hubby thought I should go right back and not wait. I tried to explain what the 2ww is like, but I don't think he gets it. I wish you so much luck on the second round. Please keep me updated!! I hope CAI is doing ok. ***Baby dust***

Hi ladies, sorry I missed posting yesterday, spent the whole day with the husband away from home :) Harrisongoodall, I hope that I am not too late to change your mind on the vacation, TAKE IT. I believe this could work for you.

Hollymouse. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. This is the month of love (valentine) and ladies, let us do a little more love making, time our ovulation and I am sure, this month is ours. We will be joining another forum for pregnant ladies :) So be good to your bodies.

The bible says that in all things "give thanks". Hollymouse and Harrisongoodall, know what? the news you received about others being pregnant is okay... I did not tell anyone that I was having the iui done and I am sure neither did you so they were excited about their news and soon we all will have news to tell as well.
