I joined this group when we began our

<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>

cycle but I don’t really belong in here anymore. Cycle got cancelled and converted to an

<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>

due to me being a poor responder.

We’re male factor infertility and after 5 failed IUIs I really thought

<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>

would be our answer. My TWW for the

<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>

(#6) is almost up but I just feel so depressed and defeated.

They think the birth control could have suppressed me too much but since it’s a small office and they do

<a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>

in groups I don’t even know where that leads us - if we will be able to start again immediately or be put in a group and have to do birth control again or what. It’s starting to feel like this really just isn’t meant to be.

Sorry just needed to vent. All my friends seem to get pregnant easily and are on their 2, 3 and even 4th pregnancy with “ideal age gaps”. My son is about to be 7 and I so desperately want to give him a sibling.

Update: starting new <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">Ivf</a> cycle WITHOUT birth control 💃

ETA: I love how supportive this particular group is! I’m not very active on here but the few times I’ve posted a question or poll or whatever elsewhere on Glow I felt lucky to get one response 😅 so just feeling thankful to those of you who took the time to respond 💖
