Question

I have had two failed iuis. This past one was super tough. I really thought I was pregnant. Everything this cycle has been different. And then went in for my blood test and got the negative call yesterday. I literally lost it. And everyone saying “just don’t think about it and it will happen?” Like how am I supposed to not think about it? Who has done that? My husband is very supportive but also soooo positive, and sometimes I can’t get myself there. Like I spent 4 hours in tears yesterday. Any advice? Also, I literally don’t have any pms symptoms which is weird for me. It is not possible to get a false negative blood pregnancy test right? #strugglebus

Hey there! I just got my period too! 2nd IUI failed. I wanted to cry so bad but my husband came home early. 
What made feel better are these 2 things: 
1. Trying to accept that nothing we did wrong, we were just not lucky. Doctor already told us IUI chance is only 15 percents. It’s pretty low. 
2. My supportive and very responsible husband who constantly assures me we have a plan. If the 3rd IUI fails, we’re just gonna have to do IVF, and if it’s failed, we wait 1 year, save some money and do it again possibly with egg donor. He will do whatever for us to have a baby. He told me, “if A, B, and C (all my friends around my age who got pregnant first) can have a baby, you WILL have a baby too.” 
Dont Be discouraged! We have one more 15 percents chance to get pregnant before the end of this year (Yay!!!) when are you going for ultrasound? Mine is Monday and I think 3rd IUI gonna be somewhere before Christmas.
I hope my comment helps....

My second IUI failed too 🙁 my husband is also very positive and each cycle it gets harder and harder for me. Keep your head up. I find myself questioning why it isn’t my time but seems like it is for everyone else? It seems so unfair. Good luck to you! Hopefully 2018 is good to us.

Hi ladies, I just my 2nd failed IUI.  I would agree that adjusting my expectations helped.  The success rates are not very high for IUI.  I wish my doctor would have explained that initially. Secondly, this APP really helps me.  Its the only place I have where people know what i'm going through.

Answer

This was my exact experience. I was trying not to get my hopes up, but I didn’t have any PMS symptoms at all, not even acne which has always been a thing. So my hopes went up and then it all came crashing down when I saw that I failed my 2nd IUI. My heart is so broken with all this. My husband and I really want to be parents. We want to experience that miracle. My husband has always been supportive, but it’s been 2 years and I can tell that it’s bringing him down too. I am so lucky in that I have a lifelong friend who I can always talk to. She listened to me and kept bringing me back up. I feel like that it’s very important to have someone else to talk to other than your significant other. Sometimes we get so wrapped up on how we feel, that we forget others are suffering too and it’s not fair to put all this grief on one person. We have to share the load as much as we can. That’s another reason why I love this app. As for us, we will try IUI two more times and then probably stop and save money for adoption. Good luck with everything and know that you are never alone.
