Thank you for referring me to this thread Myturn.
Definitely CD1 for me today! This was my first IUI cycle, so feeling a little down....giving myself some time to feel sucky about it then going to give myself a good talking to in order to get my head right for next time around.
Wow reading these comments makes me feel pretty lucky, all of our tests came back normal for our ages! I'm 38 (nearly 39 -gasp!) and DH is 35.
I have previously done 3 cycles of Clomid with no luck, took a break over December & Jan so we could relax and I could focus on my health losing some weight etc. Then started again on Clomid 50mg in March, bt day 11 gave my hormone levels (?) 3000 so FS called me up for a scan as she was worried I might have too many follicles or be heading towards Hyperovarian Stimulation (?) - Sorry I'm still getting used to the terms- she said 2 nice big follicles at about 18mm so had a Pregnyl injection and the iui the following day - CD12. DH sperm was all good, can't remember the numbers exactly but it was well above what was needed. So disappointed that even though we had all the ingredients we didn't bake a cake this time around (DH used to be a Baker)!
I'm kind of not surprised, our relationship was a bit rocky, both tired and emotional, niggling at each other - still working on how to communicate better and what each other needs in terms of communication.
Definitely going to try again this cycle, then maybe IVF in June...might seem quick, but at my age I don't want to muck around and FS agrees!
Any advice on how to keep my head level is much appreciated!
