Rhi, sorry hun must have posted at the same time! Sorry and you can tell me to p**s off and mind my own business but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't give up! You will get there I just know you will! DH & I tried for 38 months before finally getting our first BFP which thankfully was a sticky one! I know I have never been through a ms and cannot begin to understand the pain you must go through, let alone 3! But I do urge you to stick with it, maybe a break is just what you need though! I'm not going to tell you to not think about it and try to focus on something else or even relax cos I always wanted to punch ppl who said that to me, they just don't understand!
Hope you don't feel like I have stuck my nose in where it is not wanted but you absolutely deserve to be a mum! I know you will make the right decision regardless of what you choose though! Thinking of you Hun!
Xxoo

Big hugs Rhi! I am so sorry that IUI was unsuccessful, I really had hoped it would be a positive cycle. When is your sisters wedding? I wish I could say something to make this easier, I honestly believe that it will happen for you xxx

Bec - huge congrats on the weightloss babe! You must be feeling very proud of yourself! It's not an easy task and I am so happy for you. I hope this is your cycle hun.

Keli - great to hear from you. Wow 36 weeks - gosh that seems to have gone fast

Hi to everyone else, sending sticky vibes to all!!

Keli - Thanks for your post & no, you aren't sticking your nose in. I post in here for all your guys to give me advice. We are going to try again this cycle - the clinic said we have time to do another cycle before Xmas. So hopefully this one will work. 38 months is a lonnnng time - A gf just told me her gf has been ttc for 9 years So that puts it all in perspective for me. Go back to pick up meds tomorrow and start jabbing Tuesday night.

Wow! 36 weeks. GL, I am wishing you all the very best for your upcoming labour & enjoy your babymoon.

Pumpgirl - Thanks for your post! My sisters wedding is in September, so I really want to be pg this cycle.... DH says he wants to continue even in the New Year - I am unsure about that though.

Hi Ladies

Rhichichi - A GBH for you. Another blow you just don't deserve. Don't they say if your not UTD within 3 IUI's to move on to IVF? You still have 2 more tries before you have to think of other options. I'd give it another try before xmas and then go from there. It's your descision and whatever you feel confortable with. Maybe have a break until after your sister's wedding and you might have a clearer view?

Keli - Can't wait to hear a birth annoucement.

Do you or anyone else know if I HAVE to do the 3-4 rounds of IUI or if I can go straight to IVF?

Rhi- I TOTALLY get it. It's so hard. I sometimes think it would be so much eiasier to skip to IVF, but I have to tell myself, it's only a few more months and we could save all that money etc. Hugs to you, and hang in there. Your little DD is proof that it can happen. Glad you can get another round in before Xmas, I don't think I will be so lucky! (Still waiting for AF, obviously didn't o this month)

Hi Keli- 36 weeks, wow! Can't wait to hear your birth announcement!

Hi to everyone else, I'm flat out, but I'll drop in later

No you don't have to keep going if it's not what you want to do. Remember I skipped the IUI and headed straight to IVF. The success rate is much higher for IVF as apposed to IUI. From memory (don't quote me on it) I think success rates are IUI 12-15% and IVF 40%.

Some ladies like to do IUI because they are frightened about IVF and IUI is a great start in prep for IVF in regards to all the appointments and scans, jabbing etc... It's also less invasive than IVF as well. But by the time we are done with dildo cams, BT etc who cares who sees our bits eh???
