managing expectations

so this is my first IUI and first round of clomid. we’ve been ttc for almost 2 years. 1 mc and 1 chemical.

needless to say, i’ve been through a lot with this journey. i want to be so excited and hopeful and positive that it will work, but i don’t wanna get my hopes crushed. my husband is kinda indifferent but i want this so bad.

for the ladies who’ve had success with clomid or IUI, how did you manage your expectations during the journey? and how many cycles did it take you as well?
