IUI#3 fail

Boo. I'm feeling sorry for myself today. No, scratch that...I'm bloody angry about it. It isn't enough of a bummer that this 3rd cycle in a row was a bust, but get this...my period was due 7 days ago and it still hasn't started! Of course I was thinking this cycle was going to be bfp! But the blood work came back as bffn! I'm supposed to call them back if it doesn't begin by the end of the week. Blah...I couldn't be more frustrated...and I guess I have post-clomid issues because my boobs hurt like crazy! Rant over. Thanks very much. Lord knows...I had to get it off my chest somewhere (haha)

I'm sorry to hear that.
My Ovulation Chart || Ovulation Calendar Me 42, DH 34 - TTC #1 since June 2012. 9/12 3-day testing: TSH 3.76, T4 Free 1.1, LH 6.1, FSH 7.4, Prolactin 9.0, Estradiol 56. 12/12 HSG done & my tubes are clear!! 1/22/13 3-day testing: TSH 6.2, FSH 7.7, AMH 0.86, Estradiol 54, Prolactin 10.5. Thyroid almost doubled (hmmm), started Synthroid 2/4/13 and also 15,000 of Vit D 1/wk. 2/26/13 RE says I am in great shape, but DH has MFI - extremly low count along with morphology & motility issues. RE said IUI would be a waste, that IVF with ICSI is what he thinks we should do. Insurance does not cover IVF.... :( DH trying Fertility Blend to help his numbers. 4/15/13 tested my thyroid level again & I am down to 2.71. Too bad I gained 10lbs & I am more tired than I was prior to the meds.

That is totally sucky - I am so sorry!  The worst part is the roller coaster that took you so high just to bring you back down.  Are you on progesterone?  If so - I wonder if that is keeping AF away.  
Me: 37 DH: 37 TTC since Jan 2012. RE consult and initial testing done in Aug 2012: SA fine, AMH 1.1 & HSG clear - on way to IUI but got BFP on 9/10/2012. m/c 10/3/2012 at 6w5d. BFP next cycle which was a c/p. IUI #1: Clomid 100mg 12/6= BFN. IUI#1.5 (unmedicated) Jan 2013 = BFN. Hysteroscopy 1/25/13. IUI#2 Clomid 100mg 2/23 = BFN IUI#3 Clomid 100mg = BFN. IVF #1 April 2013: Menopur & Gonal F, ER=4/21, 9 retrieved, 8 mature, 2 fertilized. Transferred both (8cell) on 4/24. Beta=5/6 All Welcome!

Thanks for listening & the support ladies! I knew you would understand how I felt. I told my sister & mom today and they don't believe me. That is: because my cycle STILL hasn't started, they don't believe the blood test results. (why must they prolong it for me)
