How do you stop stressing???

Question

This will be our first IUI cycle and I can not stop thinking/stressing about it. I go in tomorrow for my 12 day ultrasound appointment and then IUI hopefully a few days later. The first year of trying we weren’t stressed at all and then the second year has been much more stressful but nothing compares to this. Ever since we scheduled things, I can’t turn my mind off. I’m driving myself crazy and I’m exhausted from not being able to sleep at night because of it.

Answer

I’m not exactly stressing but I’m super anxious, we are doing IUI this cycle, period is due today so I call doctor CD1 for prescriptions & schedule ultrasound. We’ve been trying for years but now that we are doing IUI I’m so nervous and scared. But overall I’m excited and hopeful! I’m doing Femara & Trigger shot so I’ll be using opks and then testing trigger out so hopefully it keeps me busy.

Answer

I’m super anxious and excited about my first IUI too. I’m on CD5 right now. I’m doing Clomid and a trigger shot. I go in on the 29th for my ultrasound.

Answer

Try to keep busy. Actively pursue something else to occupy your time and  mind. If you're in a lockdown area, learn a new hobby or craft. It doesnt get any easier, but def the first one I think i was most anxious for. I tried going in with the mindset of "very few people have success the first time. Just get the first one over with" but was still crushed when it didn't work. Good luck to you!
