Feeling depressed

How do you all deal with the depression that can go along with all of this?
In the beginning, when I found out my (at the time bf) could not have children, I cried a lot. But it has been 7 years since that diagnosis, 5 years of marriage, and a lot of learning and growing together.
We started the IUI journey in May, with our first actual IUI in November. IUI #3 is Wednesday. I found that in month 1, I was super nervous, and in round two I had high hopes. This round, I am just sad, and we haven't even had the IUI yet...I am sure this is hormones talking, but I just find myself tired of all of this. Tired of the meds, of the hot flashes, of the disappointment. And the thing is, I know that likely it will be going on a bit longer. I want a baby, I want to add to our family, I want to be a mom...but I don't want to be sad.... I need some success stories, something to boost me up!
Thanks for letting me vent...

Believe me I could be throwing a pitty party for myself right now. I have done 9 failed iuis, but I strongly believe in the power of positive thoughts. Please follow me. And it will get better!
So cheer up. And know I am here if you need anything
And a good life it is.
I gave myself the Ovidrel shot tonight, and it was actually relieving. I laugh when I am nervous, so laughed till I cried before I put the needle in! It was a great stress relief, and the shot was no biggie. I'm feeling better now.... Onwards and upwards!
When I get depressed I try to count my blessings. I read other peoples success stories and think if it can happen to them.... why not me!! and ultimately...I know in the end it will be worth it... but this part... it sucks ass.
Hoping your feel better and thinking good baby dust thoughts for you! (and everyone else too)
P.S. I'm in Texas too.
So....2ww!!
p.s. Howdy
I understand the nervousness about will I ovulate this month! For me even on 450units of gonal f I did not always ovulate. I was lucky to get one follicle and never got more. I just knew that I was supposed to be a mom just did not know when it would happen. The worst month for me was the 2nd month I did not ovulate. I gave myself permission to cry for a night and then went back to positive thoughts the next day. I am a firm believer in replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. It just has to be our time. It takes longer for some then others.
I started this journey last feb. After I months and 4 iuis I am now 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I am due july 4th. Keep the faith and keep your thoughts positive.
K&b,
Know that tthis will happen for you! It sounds like you are in a positive place again!
Sending lots of baby dust your way for a positive this round!
