10dpiui - Discouraged

Meaghan • Mommy to Ainslee - Our sweet, little, IVF miracle baby. Born March 2016!
Well, I got a BFN this morning. I know I'm not "out" until AF arrives but I just do not think this IUI worked. I have been a little down today about this. Yes, it's exciting to move on to IVF but I am also terrified about it. I really wanted this IUI to be the one. 
Hubby and I are taking a mini vacation this weekend to New Orleans and AF is expected Friday, the day we leave. I'm hoping this trip will help us to de-stress and look forward to our next step. Our IVF consult is on June 9th and we will get all of our info then... That is, if I do not get a BFP before then.

Interesting turn of events. AF did not arrive this morning as expected. I haven't tested in two days. The ONLY symptom I have is AF like cramps. I will have to go get a test today. I haven't bought any because I just expected to start today. Maybe she will arrive later today. I'll test in a bit and update y'all. ☺️🙏

Hey Meaghan!! Sorry that it seems that this IUI will fail. I'm 4 DPO & have little hope that we conceived, although we did manage timedinter course 1 day before my positive OPK. Anyway, I obviously understand exactly what you are going through!!  Imagine me saying this to you while we sip mochas together, or maybe with umbrella cocktails, poolside. Just 2 friends being real with each other. Cool?? I hope so!! Here goes: Maybe I could offer another perspective?  A view from another pair of eyes, a fresh, outside look from someone who has walked the walk along side you? You are SO blessed to be in a position to move on to IVF!! I would give anything to be able to afford IVF.  I hope you understand I'm speaking from love & just trying to help. Please please don't take it the wrong way!! I 💜 you girl!! Cheers!! XOXO. You remain in my prayers!!

I agree with it being hard to find blessings. Even though we had our two miscarriages I was still so happy just to know I could get pregnant. My heart still hurts sometimes but I know my day will come soon enough. I just hope its sooner than later.

Most days, with infertility, it is so very hard to count your blessings. But I find if I can do that it helps me stay sane & just does wonders for my mood. Easier said than done though. I'm sorry your feeling anxious, I'm sure that's normal. But u bet you'll get a BFP really soon!!

Hugs to you Meaghan! For me IUI's were actually more emotionally draining of a process than IVF- even after having a miscarriage from IVF. Just finally seeing that positive and having an ultrasound after getting negative after negative with IUI brought me some hope that things can work out. Praying for you. This is such a long, emotional journey.

of thankfully. They will write the prescriptions like a month in advance. So hopefully all the meds will be covered too.

I had to pay for meds for the IUI because my insurance does require a prior authorization for meds and every time I need a trigger it seems to be last minute and it can take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks to get the authorization back. For IVF they will give me plenty of time to get that take care

Wow that is so nice! I haven't had a penny of my IUI or IVF covered. We qualified for a program for IVF that took off 25% but we still ended up borrowing money from our parents that we will pay back in the next few years. It's so overwhelming how much money it is.

Sending hugs to you! You're right, you're not out yet, 10 dpiui is still early. At least you have this weekend as a distraction, whichever your results may be. I'm still hoping you get your BFP this month though!

I got back to the doctor on Tuesday and we will start the process. I believe the actual IVF will take place in July. I will definitely keep y'all updated.

😢 I'm sorry, xoxo. When are you going to start IVF?

Nope. I took a test yesterday and it was negative so I'm just waiting on AF. I feel like she will arrive tomorrow.
