IUI to IVF

Hannah

Well after two failed IUIs I’ve now started IVF. Not that I had much choice on that front. Clinic enforced it as my partner and I are using donor sperm and there’s a shortage. It feels very different to the IUI. There’s no clomid which I’m glad of as I suffered terrible mood swings on that but taking all there is a lot of injections which I’m just starting. Got 8 more days of injections so worried I’ll be so puffed up by the end. I think because of all the lead up and greater financial expense it’s hard to not have even bigger hopes for a success than with IUI. I’ve also been feeling annoyed at myself that IUI didn’t work and thinking what I might have been able to do differently.
