IUI Frustration
Jill
Junior Member
My husband and I just had our third IUI. We went into this thinking it would go smoothly since it is my husband who has the fetility issue and not myself. The two week wait is the worst- it always ends in disappointment. We really thought this time was going to work, but then I woke up this morning with the sure signs of a period. Any stories from people who have gone through a similar experience would be appreciated!

I totally understand where you are coming from. It's the same thing with me, i check out all good and you would think that it would not be a problem ttc. But i have been through 11 iui's(so i really feel your pain) and have got a BFP once, only for it to end in miscarriage.
Well now that we have put like 40 grand into all the treatments, we cannot afford them anymore. So i had two vials left in storage and i wanted to use them. So i am doing at-home-inseminations with the last two. I am now 8dpo with the first one and i feel way too normal to be preggo , but i guess we will see!

try to be positive even when its hard. me and my husband had the same problem. we worked with a fertility doctor for 1 1/2 yrs. we used our first doner for 3 rounds with IUI and it was not successful. we ended up waiting 2 months and used a different doner and on the next IUI (the 4th IUI total) and it worked! it is hard to be patient and positive the whole time ( i am not a patient person) but i total feel your pain and just wanted to let you know it does happen. we now have a 7 week old baby that we both prayed for.
When the triplets were almost 2 we decided to try again. I had 1 sample left over and went back on the Clomid fully expecting the first IUI to work. Nope, you would think I would learn not to get my hopes up. That was our last sample of the same donor and the bank had no more so we had to pick someone new, we bought 2 new samples. I tried Clomid another month or two but was not responding and had cancelled my IUI's. We decided to use the injectable meds I had bought just before getting pregnant the first time. That IUI on injectables worked and we are now expecting 1 baby. We have 1 sample left and have decided to give it a shot in a couple years, though if it doesn't work we will happily be done and will not try anymore.
Good luck to you...I hope you have success very very soon!!!

It was really hard for me - each month I felt like a failure and my husband had to keep putting things in perspective for me.
Wow - maybe six is the lucky number! Congrats!
We're rooting for you!
I just bought he vials each cycle. I started with one donor, but after two cycles they didn't have any more so I had to switch donors, which is fine because I got pregnant with the second donor.
Go to In Vitro!!!!
I am thankful for the information that is shared on this forum. We are praying that all goes well so we can have our baby soon. Best wishes to every other couple that is dealing with infertility.
