Hi ladies
I am really freaking out today... I had my first iui April 6, and today I tested and bfn! I am losing all hope and fear the worst. I started my journey with taking a ultrasound and baselines where I found out I had pcos. Doctor gave me birth control to bring on my period. Finally I was so excited because I knew I was one step closer! Then back to fertility clinic I went for more baselines and ultrasound. I was put on clomid 100mg for 5 days. Taking the trigger shot 10000 the day before my iui. April 6 th I was so nervous not knowing what to expect. Iui was not painful just felt cramps when swimmers were released. I was so excited because they praised my specimen (donor sperm) being at 28.7 motility. Called it exquisite. I had one follicle that was mature at 18mm two days before iui. Today I am thinking about all the cramping the tiredness the hunger headaches and crabbiness. Scared its all because of the meds. Please if you're reading this send your prayers my way. Monday I go in for my blood test and I'm hoping its bfp. (Just needed to vent) ahh good luck to all of you!

I'm not sure how active I will be here, but wanted to respond to your post.
Here's my story:
DH was diagnosed in 97 with Leukemia. We were engaged. I was pg, but didn't know it for a few months, a week after discovering I was pg I miscarried. (I'd had a couple other miscarriages back then, too, but was not too upset b/c my life was crazy at the time and I knew it). When DH was sick, though, I was really hoping the pg would help him find a reason to fight. His treatment made him sterile, but we knew it would so he banked some sperm before the radiation started.
In 2001 we were married, finally, and we started IVF only a few months after our wedding, in Jan. 2002.
We went through 3 years of IVF. Had multiple losses. Finally, our last attempt started Dec. 27, 2004, and it ended with another miscarriage on Feb. 8, 2005. (We'd done tons of testing, identified multiple, minor issues, fixed them, and finally did "PGD" and determined this just wasn't ever going to work for us.) Five days later we met with an adoption agency and 13 months after that we had our newborn baby girl in our arms. She's 7 now.
The last few years, I started having this urge, I imagine this is the "biological clock ticking" that I've always thought was just a crock. And I couldn't think of anything other than, I'm almost too old to ever have a child. I want to try again, this time with donor sperm. I felt like if I could just get pg (had no difficulty getting pg before) I'd be able to carry to term.
Well, we started IUI in August 2011. Did 3 cycles. Nothing.
Started IVF in Dec. 2011. Had our first embryo transfer April 5, 2012. It worked! It was a rocky pg, and I have never been sicker in my life, and I have a colicky baby, but it was worth it! The labor and delivery was amazing.
Anyway... hang in there. It took me a decade of serious trying to get here. And I'm finally here.
I hope your journey doesn't take a decade. And I hope you get all you've dreamt of!
