It's official: IUI #1 was a failure. On Friday, I was crushed. I just couldn't believe it. Why was I so sure that it would work? The odds were obviously not in our favor -- with that being the first time I've ever been on any sort of fertility medication (it may take several tries to get the right combination), combined with DH's super low sperm count. Of COURSE it didn't work. I think I'm irritated with myself at how high I had gotten my hopes up about it. We were supposed to have a November baby, 11/11/11 to be exact. We were going to have all sorts of 'nerd fun' with a 'binary baby' and we were going to announce to our families on Easter, right around 2nd tri that we were expecting.
Oh, Infertility, how you've fooled me once again. I thought I had you beaten down, but you have proven me wrong.
Where do we go from here? Honestly, I'm not sure. I know I still need my HSG and DH is going to likely need some bloodwork and probably an ultrasound to determine what's going on with him. But as far as when we will do another treatment cycle, I'm just not sure at this point. What I can say for certain is that I'll get through this just like I've gotten through everything else in my life -- with my head held high and with even more determination to get through the next big hurdle.
