FIRST FAILED IUI

I just had my first IUI earlier this month well today I started my period. I am so depressed I almost just want to give up. Can anyone tell me if they have gone through this and how they dealt with it any comments would help. And could anyone tell me what IUI with injectibles is they gave me a hcg shot but I heard they can do other things with IUI other than that anything any one could tell me wouldnt hurt at this point.                  thanks and good luck to you all.

So sorry to hear... I know the feeling of being sure an IUI worked only to find that it did not. But keep positive, it will happen.. you just can't always predict when. And that is the difficult part. Wishing you strength and good luck in Feb.

That's wonderful news!! So happy for you!!

We did get a positve blood test result btw!! Phew!! I think I had decided not to let doubt creep in, but my husband was doing his nut!! (I think it's harder for the men becuase they don't really know what is happening to our bodies: they only know what we/the doc tell them. Poor things. But he doesn't have sore breasts, headaches on and off, hearburn and weird tiredness, now does he?).

My progesterone levels were within the normal range, but on the lower end, so tha doc has put me onto a VERY expensive supplement (which I am going to have to try to get the medical aid to pay for!!) 1st Scan on Thurs/Fri next week!! So excited.

Don't let the doubt get u . I am sure you will get that hone call today with the results. i bet your numbers are high.  i cant wait to hear about the scan.

They put me on bcps this month because they found a cyst. I feel like i went back wards.  although we did sign the adoption papers yesterday. I am beyond excited about that.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest!!
Well, We went to the doc/fertility doc today and he insisted on another blood test to confirm the pg and test my progesterone levels. I was so mad at him!! Irrationally so, I suppose (maybe it's already the crazy hormones talking?) but I just felt that he was doubting me and what if by some crazy fluke, the test comes back negative??! I couldn't cope with that!!

And then because tomorrow is the start of a long weekend, the bloodwork had to be sent to an external lab and we have to wait until tomorrow for the results!!Talk about going through Helll!! But I still have symptoms (feel asleep like the dead 2x today-I never sleep during the day unless I'm sick (or pg, I guess) so i won't let doubt creep in!
1st scan next week at 6 weeks like u said!! :-)

Girl i am so excited for u!!! I pray u have a happy healthy pregnancy.!!! Have u call your re/ fertility dr. yet? they will do blood test to check your actual levels. and then set up ultra sound. They will do one earlier then if u just go to a normal ob.  They give u one at 6 weeks.  That would be in 4 days.
