I'm hoping you're right and ...Thanks Amber. I'm hoping you're right and it will all be worth the wait for the perfect sperm and egg to unite. I just feel like someone dies every time AF rears her ugly head. Seriously NOT a good day here. Today it just all hit me harder that we failed again, went back to the RE, filled my script again, and back to the drawing board for another shot at this. News of yet another friend's pregnancy at probably the worst time possible, right after another failed cycle and on CD2 of all days. I'm blowing through tissues faster than tampons today. Eyes are practically SWOLLEN SHUT. Ugh!<br /><br />Trying to treat ourselves as much as possible to stay sane; I drank tons of champagne Friday. We had massages on Saturday. I bleached my teeth today and am scheduled to get a facial peel next week. I haven't done anything cosmetic for myself in the 16 months we've been TTC, since there are chemicals contraindicated, but I have got to do SOMETHING to make myself feel better every once in a while ya know, before I fall completely apart!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415140299306373048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052836858232611779.post-43947529547432588962012-10-22T17:20:38.872-07:002012-10-22T17:20:38.872-07:00Yeah, I looked at the RE today and starting crying...Yeah, I looked at the RE today and starting crying, "Whyyyy didn't it work?" I already know there's only about an 8% chance for us each month with Femara & IUI, but it just seems like it should work if the conditions are so perfect. Meanwhile, everyone else I know is getting KU'ed their first cycle trying or by accident altogether. So frustrating I want to scream sometimes! Let's hope that wheel lands on my number this cycle!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415140299306373048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052836858232611779.post-36787499935087560612012-10-22T17:02:16.386-07:002012-10-22T17:02:16.386-07:00LOL, gotta love our DH's!

In the meantime, I am so, so sorry for AF.

If I can't get pregnant with a mature follie, a great sperm count, a nice thick lining, an earlier ovulation on CD16, and a doctor injecting the sperm right where they are supposed to go, I'm not sure what it will take to make it happen. "<br /><br />that exactly how i felt after our first iui and it's only been increasing every month since then. but some of it is really luck... we're paying a whole lot of money for the privilege to spin that proverbial wheel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052836858232611779.post-90313629489055710152012-10-21T11:40:32.095-07:002012-10-21T11:40:32.095-07:00I know! haha!

I could have taken this failed cycle really hard considering what went into it, but he sure has a knack for always saying the right thing at the right time. It seems silly, but thinking of it that way really did change my outlook and gave some levity to the situation. :) Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415140299306373048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052836858232611779.post-81727155837851308722012-10-21T11:01:06.498-07:002012-10-21T11:01:06.498-07:00I LOVE DH's outlook... oh, those prissy eggs n...I LOVE DH's outlook... oh, those prissy eggs need to lower their standards and give those good ol' sperm a chance!!!

It's the ultrasound monitoring, sperm washing, and IUI procedures that add up. And yes, it IS crazy expensive.

Its the generic brand of femara so much cheaper. Letrozole is a newer drug so many REs still just prescribe femara. In fact my insurance covered it completely because its used for people with breast cancer. Whereas femara would have been $200+ for one cycle. Worth mentioning to your dr for this upcoming cycle!The Blakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671704610130262340noreply@blogger.com
