First IUI - Official BFN

Well, I got the official word which was not a surprise - BFN.  My doctor was fine that we do another Clomid/IUI cycle but if it doesn't work out - he wants us to do a hysteroscopy. 

I am going to stay on the prometrium a few more days to delay AF so my cycle starts when I'm back home from visiting my in laws. 

My husband had lunch with a friend of ours today and she was asking him how I am.  She is 5 months pregnant and knows we've been trying.  When they broke the news to us that she was pregnant - I could feel how painful it was to tell us.  We had a miscarriage 2 weeks earlier and she doesn't know.  No one knows, actually.  She is one of my closest friend and we are her first daughter's godparents but I just can't be around her right now.  I am not in the mood to explain, share and I know she feels so bad but for some reason I'm taking that as pity and it makes me angry. I just want to be left alone. 

Thanks for letting me vent. 

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!

I'm so sorry, it's hard to feel happy for others when you have so many hormones and emotions making you crazy. I hope you can enjoy the holidays and your next cycle is better.

I remember having so much hope when I had my first IUI so I understand the disappointment of it not working out.  I also have a good friend who is pregnant right now, I heard about it through our other friends while we were at a bar one night.  I think she was afraid of telling us knowing that we have done a number of procedures.  I was happy for her but numb at the same time...I had to fight to hold back tears.  It's all so hard to deal with.
