1st IUI failed

Did my first IUI a little over two weeks ago, and then BAM, AF showed up like clock work.

Im pretty grounded and a realist: I understand how slim of a chance IUI has of working. As the TWW went on, I started allowing myself to get more and more hopeful. I saw all the “pregnancy signs” in me: ie nausea, heartburn, rapid heart rate, painful and color changed nipples. Lol. However I promised myself no testing for a full two weeks. At 14DPIUI, I was spotting slight brown/pink. So I POAS, and with a BFN, knew AF was coming. And she did. I feel silly, but I cried when I told my DH she showed up.

I am now on to round two. I was/still am pretty bummed about it. , but I want to send nothing but positive vibes out!! I am fully aware of the small chance i have again of it working, but I don’t want fear and disappointment to be my guide but rather love and hope. I’m doing my best to be optimistic, and I’ve been keeping up with my exercise and eating healthy, no caffeine or alcohol.

I will say, that was the longest two weeks of my life haha. I tried to occupy myself with hiking, hitting up the beach, cleaning, going to work, starting projects but it felt like and eternity! OBGYN said they will only do 3 IUI before we move me onto IVF. I’m praying and manifesting with all my heart this one will be a sticky healthy one!
