I can't do this either, so I feel your pain.<br /><br />3. No sex before IUI? Are you kidding me? WHY? My clinic actually told us to (and after - thereby eliminating their responsibility, i think) and we did, which is just as well as I am 99.9% sure I ovulated before the procedure. <br /><br />4. Sorry to hear that Mr Bunny is away.<br /><br />5. I absolutely disagree with your last para and your RE. You had some mega fibroids, and I am sure you said one was possibly interfering with your tube. There is hope, Bunny, lots of it. I have two degrees plus an honorary in reproductive immunology, so you have to believe me. <br /><br />6.

I have a DMA so you have to believe me. Srsly. As with egg, so it will be with you. You too are a champion, gold-medal Turn-Waiter, and your Turn, it is a-coming.<br /><br />I don't know what's going on with my syntax today.<br /><br />I for one refuse to believe that the fibroids were irrelevant. They were big, and they were In There. Only certain things are supposed to be In There. I don't think I can help you feel better about this particular cycle (considering I'm a hot mess myself), but I do know that you can. do. this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-80370043800795485182010-08-16T18:06:24.530-04:002010-08-16T18:06:24.530-04:00I have hope for you.

I'm sorry there are frustrations!...Oh Bunny!!!! I'm sorry there are frustrations!!! <br /><br />Why can't it just all go smoothly!!!! (I have been yelling this to the universe for YEARS and still no response)<br /><br />I know this is probably a weird thing to say but I always found IUIs much more stressful than IVF. IUIs relied on my body actually performing certain functions that I wasn't confident it could achieve. With IVF there are less unknowns and you have more information to work with so for a details freak like me it made it easier to handle. Still stressful for sure, but I felt I had more control with IVF than with IUI, which I know sounds crazy and goes against most studies on the subject.<br />Anyway, my point is... Don't be hard on yourself because you are feeling pressure. Don't say this is *only* an IUI so I shouldnt be stressed. Its freaking hard Bunny and so don't underestimate what you're going through. Its ridiculously tough, and you are amazing and lovely and strong and super good looking. <br />Fingers crossed for everything falling into place eventually.<br />xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-14176613826754515892010-08-16T15:08:28.705-04:002010-08-16T15:08:28.705-04:00Thank you for the shout-out dear Bunny. And for th...Thank you for the shout-out dear Bunny. And for the wonderful warm fuzzy comments and support. <br /><br />Yeah, I totally hear you. It's virtually impossible to imagine IUI working and then when any little thing goes wrong it's devastating. I. Hear. You. But you are trying and stranger things HAVE happened and even tho it's impossible for you to feel hopeful, I DO feel hopeful for you. Bodies have a way of getting annoyed by us hating on them all the time....yours might just get knocked up and show you who's boss. C'mon the FRACK on IUI, let's do this and deliver Bunny's new uterus a perfect little blasto. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-27063164391229504152010-08-16T14:52:29.797-04:002010-08-16T14:52:29.797-04:00Definitely hoping for this cycle - IUI before IVF ...Definitely hoping for this cycle - IUI before IVF success happens all the time!!!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524692943966582775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-50735690345564102062010-08-16T13:48:08.463-04:002010-08-16T13:48:08.463-04:00My ovaries didn't do a killer job this cycle e...My ovaries didn't do a killer job this cycle either.

Power of positive thinking is great, but if you are pessimistic this go around, so be it.<br />2. I know that IVF is the last place you want to be, but having done both, there is something to be said about knowing that fertilization (at minimum) has actually happened. It allows you to not have to worry about this timing stuff so much. At least, there is one good thing about IVF, right? Although, I really, really hope you never get there.<br />I am scheduled for my IUI tomorrow so it looks like we are in the 2ww together. This my last go at it before we head back to IVF as well. Fingers and toes crossed for us both!!!!!!!!!!cdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174907373129154516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-84570086369112808812010-08-16T13:21:13.645-04:002010-08-16T13:21:13.645-04:00What's the holdup?

I can't think of one good reason why you would not be able to get pregnant (and who was it that said that the past is a poor predictor of the future? Well, that person was RIGHT). Perhaps you do need the IVF for whatever reason, but one of these attempts, coming SOON, is gonna work.
