My apologies, but this is most certainly a Debbie Downer post, so beware.

I'm fairly certain this is not our month. Despite the strange cramps and such, I have no sore boobs and all my temps look exactly the same as a typical BFN cycle. DH was/is so excited for this iui and he is going to be crushed. I feel like crap because my stupid body is broken and doesn't want to work even under the best circumstances. *** we had 3 **** big follies on the GOOD side, finally a plush lining, a good count/motility for the iui, AND we dtd that night. So why can't it be our turn? Honestly it boggles my mind! The odds should've been in our favor! Just very aggravated of all the crap we need to go through and get nothing in return.

So with this month being a bust, we will likely take some time off of ttc. We'll plan on going right to IVF, but since we don't really have the money for that right now, we'll take a break. Sorry to vent ladies, just frustrated with life right now.

I'm right there with you...i think this cycle is a bust for us too, and it is super frustrating when you do everything "right" and it doesn't work. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you getting a + still this cycle...and if not, don't give up - hopefully your RE will have some suggestions for path forward before you get to IVF.

I am sorry... Maybe your temp is down because you dont feel well? The drop was not drastic so I have hope!!! KUP!

Thanks ladies. I am trying to keep a glimmer of hope, but against my better judgment I tested this afternoon and got a BFN (of course). My RE suggested IVF during one of our consultations last month, so it is most likely our next step. With only having one tube, and after 4 clomid tries, it's time to move on. My RE doesn't like to do injectibles with IUI because of the risk of multiples, so she think IVF would be a better option. Ah well, guess it's time to start saving our pennies.

No apologies necessary...we have all had the frustration of a textbook-perfect cycle that ends in a BFN, and it is absolutely maddening and crushing all at the same time. I'm so sorry you are having a rotten day.
