Setting expectations, managing disappointments and still carrying hope is incredibly challenging during this process. (My 5th IUI also did not seem to work this time despite all my doctors telling me that I’m a perfect candidate; it is so confusing and heartbreaking.) Your plans to do 3 IUIs and then going to IVF sounds so reasonable. Hold on to the faith that you will have your baby soon!
I couldn’t relate more. I had the same expectations with my IUI process as well. I was told the statistics before my first IUI, but was still given the impression that because of my age and everything else they factor in, that my chances were good. The 2nd unsuccessful IUI hit the hardest and the 3rd unsuccessful I kind of came to terms that it likely wasn’t going to work. I ended up having a hysteroscopy after that and was then told that the majority of patients have success on their next IUI. Unfortunately I wasn’t one of those patients and it was yet another hard hit for me because of the expectations I was given. I’m now in the IVF process, had my egg retrieval last week, and whether they were given to me or I created them myself, I fear my expectations having been too high yet again. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a less stressful second half of the week!
I'm 34, and following the exact same schedule as you (hopeful single mom by choice, on second IUI, only 3 days ahead in my cycle always). My clinic totally messed up my last cycle and didn't do the IUI until after I knew I had ovulated. Anyway, I get it! I was so convinced it would happen right away and it has just been one delay and disaster after another.
Sending you positive vibes, you will make it! About stress: it's not a good comparison, but women got pregnant during wars, or living in distant villages with a huge amount of physical work about the house and garden. So, stress is overrated, I think.
Hi beautiful person been watching your videos you been taking pregnancy test i love you not going to stop until you are pregnant. i believe you have the greatest gift ever in. Life a little one a baby
Thanx for your answer. I'm 42 I've been ttcing for almost 3 years, had 2 embryo transfers with Ivf. When I ask my doctors about physical activity during tww, they usually don't say anything specific. That is why I'm especially thankful for your answer.
Yes they are never specific i have had one person tell me you don’t need to change anything and i had other people tell me to take it easy and do more yoga. Who knows…i try to just listen to my body and mind with what i need.
I never comment. I am 32 years old and also had my 1st IUI on July 12th (with 25mg of Clomid) and it has failed as all my tests are negative and I have no symptoms. I can understand the disappointment and apprehensions (what to do next) - regardless of the path I am sure we will have our babies soon.
I’m so sorry it didn’t work this time but I just know you will have luck soon!! Don’t give up girl!! I went through this same process. With my first kid, I did 3 unmedicated IUIs (with no trigger shot)and it worked on my 3rd try. Something that worked really well for me was using the Premom ovulation test strips and the Easy@Home ovulation test strips. They are different from other test strips because they give you an actual number of how strong your LH surge is. You will scan the strip with your phone and then see the number in the app you download. You can pinpoint the time you are actually surging with the strength of the number and then time the IUI accordingly several hours later. Timing is so important with IUIs and I really think that these test strips are very very helpful and will help you too. I bought them on Amazon and I used them along with the normal Clearblue ovulation strips. It was neat seeing how all the strips showed me surging when I was surging and I had matches across the board with the strips. The more info the better! Anyway just wanted to suggest them. I hope you will check them out and use them next time. Good luck and positive vibes your way! 😊❤
I agree with the expectations side of things. My doctor told me that although I don’t have any fertility issues, it could take 3-4 IUI’s. She recommended doing that many before moving onto IVF. Sorry you were given different information. That’s frustrating. In my TWW as well. It’s brutal
I just want to assure you that stress will not prevent you getting pregnant. The studies around stress are it sometimes mess up ovulation cycles for those trying via intercourse, which wouldn't impact medicated cycles. Also stressed folks sometimes have less intercourse or drink more which can slightly impact fertility...but it is almost all about decreasing the opportunities to get pregnant for folks having sex with a partner and wouldn't impact an IUI or implantation. It is a bummer your doctor gave you false expectations. You are completely within the realm of normal, and typically places recommend up to three IUIs before moving onto IVF like you are doing. (Some insurances evem require 6 IUIs before moving on, although that doesnt significantly improve pregnancy rates for folks that were unsuccessful the first few times.) IVF statistics are significantly higher than IUIs but also can take a few transfers to be successful. That is why they often recommend 2-3 embryos per live baby. Many luck out and are successful on the first try, but that is just luck. Edit: Since you have to pay for the sperm vials, I definitely think moving on to IVF after the third IUI makes perfect sense.

Hi Kaitlyn, you look so fit. I was wondering how you go about your fitness routine during the tww. Do you stop exercising or modify it somehow?
The first IUI i didn’t really change anything just nothing high impact, the second IiUI i did more walking and yoga and light weights.
