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.
Thanks for all the comments!! I took the plunge last night and took a home PG test, well, 3 actually!! ALL POSITIVE!!!!!!
I am so overwhelmed and happy! Puzzled too as my doc, when she did the blood tests said they can detect a pregnancy 48hrs after conception!! Could not understand this as I understand they measure HGH and there can't be any until implantation, so??? She caused us some stress, but in the long run, she may have done me a favour because after I got the negative blood test result, I could relax and let go of it. And badda-bing, we are pregnant!! Grinning form ear to ear!!
Best wishes to all who are trying to conceive!!

Baby in progress. a blood test will not show ujp + until after the baby implants and starts making hcg. that usally starts around day 8-10 for implantion and then add 24 hours for for your body to start producing it so u are looking at day 9-12 before u would get any hcg and if it is below 5 they still say neg so then add another day 10-12 days after ovulation with blood test at the earliest some people implant late and then dont get bfp until 15-20 with blood test or hpt. With u being 8 days late now 9 then i would say u r ok to test. it seems that u have a good chance of seeing a bfp!!!! I know it is hard to take one after seeing so many bfn;s but it is the only way u will know. plus then your re will do blood work to see how high it is and if it is doubling. then u will get an us. believe it our not u are only about a week away from the 1st us. if it is a bfp!!! I am praying u get good news. Let us know!!!!
Thanks to everyone who responded

It's a strange comfort to know we are not alone (and yet it isn't). It is startling to hear how many couples are sturggling to conceive!! And to hear how much stress and dissappoinment is out there. I hardly know what to write and how to respond. I just feel like crying for all of us.
I posted another comment earleir today in a sperate post about how we failed in our 2 & 3rd IUI. And then are left with a huge conundrum this month: in summary we didn't go back to the fertility doc this month (purely due to work constraints) and tried normally. 1 week after ovulation I was feeling odd: v tired, dizzy and a bit "out of it". I was feeling dizzy and just "weird". Wasn't sure if it was work stress or what. I thought maybe I was aneamic so I went to see my GP. She ran a whole batch of blood tests, incl a pregnancy test. That would have been exactly 6 days after ovualtion. It came back negative and were not too surprised.
BUT NOW my period is LATE!! About 7-8days late!! My cycle is still regular within a day or 2 and I don't know what to think!!! I can't actually bear doing a home pregnancy test-only to be dissapointed again. I can hardly bear this!
I know blood pregancy tests are supposed to v accurate so how could I be pregnant?? I want this so much that I am scared to have confirmation one way or another.
Could my period be late just due to all the stress (and the added stress iI feel now!!), or am I pregnant, or has something else gone wrong??
I really feel I can't cope sometimes with all of this.
But thank you for this forum !!

im so down and blue ... my DH and I have done intercourse w/ clomid & letrozole & HCG trigger twice... then ive had an iui beginning of this month.. i got my AF at 17 dpiui .. my DH had excellent sperm count which was 40mil postwash. I'm really frustrated and starting to hate myself. we've been ttc for so long now and im starting to feel like its really not for me. its hard to think positive when u feel like uve tried everything and nothing just seems to work..
My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for a year before we went to a fertility clinic. Turns out I have PCOS. I also have Vaginismus. On top of all the horrific side effects of PCOS (acne, hair loss, weight gain in the abdominal area etc etc etc) it also makes it very difficult to get pregnant. I had my first IUI treatment on 10/31 and was supposed to take a home pregnancy test on 11/14. I woke up to my period yesterday. I don't know how to explain the despair that I felt. I went to work against my better judgement and spent most of the day trying not to cry in front of others. Today I'm working from home and trying to feel hopeful again. The ultrasounds are so uncomfortable for me, as is the actual procedure. I can't even bear the thought of going through it all again. I'm sure that one try isn't a big deal, however, it took me 3 cycles of meds to even get to the point where I could do the procedure. It's exhausting. I can't handle that this is something I can't control. I am doing everything in my power to make it possible... Just seems unfair I guess. Oh, and on top of that, the abdominal weight gain has led people to ask me if I'm pregnant. Nothing makes you want to die more than a complete stranger asking you if you're pregnant when you're not and it's all that you want to be. It's hard. So hard.
Hey girls,
I'm joining this community because it feels good to read stories similar to mine, and people who understand exactly what I'm going through. My husband and I tried to get pregnant on our own for 1 year then I went to a fertility doctor. The first month he just put me on Clomid, I had a dye test done (ouch), labs, post coital exams etc.... Didn't work. The 2nd month still Clomid, then IUI that was done at a perfect timing.... That was 2 weeks ago, and I just got my period today....I'm crying nonstop (hormones prob don't help). I was so sure this time would work, I even had what I thought was implantation cramps and spotting 8 days after the IUI. I know it's only my first IUI but it's the 15th time I get unwanted period and the disappointment that comes with it. And the more I do to get pregnant, the harder it is when it fails... My husband doesn't get it and tells me I put too much pressure on myself. I just don't know how much longer I can take this....
