Anyone else feel like this after IUI?

Question

I’m trying to keep thinking positively, but also prepare myself for potential disappointment. I had my first IUI on July 16th, and each day that passes, it feels like me actually being pregnant is getting further & further away. Like I feel like it could never actually happen to me, you know? It’s just a weird feeling I have. I want to be pregnant so badly & have never wanted anything more than I want this. I’m just really scared of that initial disappointment if this cycle didn’t work. Support appreciated 😞💓

Answer

This thread is everything I’m feeling right now.
So sorry for your loss and hardship Jessica.
Trying to walk the line between positive and realistic is more like riding a tidal wave of emotions.
IUI #2 triggered 7/12 IUI 7/14.
I thought the past 1.5+ yrs ttc went by slowly ... these days during treatment and the tww are excruciatingly slow. And it’s all you can think about. Every second.
Thank goodness we have each other.
🤞🏻 for each and every one of us 🖤

Answer

I 100% can relate to these feelings. I triggered July 12th and had my first IUI July 13th. Trying to stay positive, but also prepping myself just in case. The days are just passing so slowly.

Answer

Yes I can relate. I always try not to get my hopes up, but this month I’m trying to be positive. I keep telling myself “this is my month, it’s going to work”. I decided to try this approach because I don’t believe I will any more or less crushed when my period comes if I think negatively or positively. My iui was 7/15.

Answer

I can relate! Been ttc 2.5 years for baby #2. Hubby and I have secondary unexplained infertility, we’re doing our first IUI this cycle, I’m triggering tomorrow and IUI on Sunday. I can’t help but be nervous and scared, I’m cautiously optimistic. Baby dust to us all! 
Any chance you or anyone would be willing to share there number and size of follicles and there uterine lining thickness 🤞🏽

Answer

I completely relate to this. I am on my sixth iui total and this one didn’t work. I am￼￼ getting ready for my seventh iui and I am just feeling like it’s never going to work. I did get pregnant after my third but unfortunately lost our baby. I took about a year off before we tried again. ￼￼￼

Answer

I'm there with you!  This is our first cycle and had back to back IUIs on 7/15 and 7/16.  Keeping positive can be hard at times, but I try to keep busy during this 2 week wait.  Baby dust to us all!

Answer

I hate that we’re having to deal with this, but thankful we have each other to relate to! It’s a good feeling to not feel alone
