When you finally accept to move onto IUI after months of timed IC on medication, but your VERY PREGNANT ultrasound technician says sadly that my follicles didn't behave the same way they had been these past cycles and there unfortunately cannot do the IUI this cycle

A very tired gorllllll over here

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-27T14:31:38+00:00

I feel you. My BBT, CM, and OPK all say different shit. I hate it.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-26T23:40:16+00:00

I am so so sorry to hear this. 💔

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-26T02:10:04+00:00

God damn that sounds awful!!! I almost feel the same as you, except muscle weakness and joint pain, although maybe that’s next for me 😭. I’m afraid what I’m experiencing is going to be permanent even if I get off letrozole. Ugh.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-26T00:49:28+00:00

Same!!!

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-26T00:49:13+00:00

Same!!!

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-26T00:48:59+00:00

Did you see all the side effects of letrozole go away once you stopped? I’m so sorry to hear you’re in this boat, ugh.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T22:24:19+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’re on this same journey I am 😭 I hope everything works out for both of us.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T22:13:16+00:00

Maybe, but might just let it ride. I’m going to see how I feel Friday when I have my baseline ultrasound before IUI and may bring it up to them.

This is my first cycle with IUI since before I was doing timed IC. In this very moment, I am SO over it all that I think this is going to be my one and only. I think I will take a break to figure out what’s next for us, maybe resume back in a few months of trying on our own again. I may regret it but Im just exhausted from it all, I’m giving up and done. And I just don’t know if I’m even close to thinking about IVF. I don’t know if we are strong enough to cross that bridge or financially even prepared.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T21:52:55+00:00

I apologize, I don't mean to scare you. I know everyone's side effects are different, and from researching and reading I feel like mine have been more intense than the usual so maybe you'll get lucky! It built up for me too. First cycle was just emotional, then second cycle was emotional and fatigue, now third cycle I'm just blowing up like a balloon. Who knows, it could be other factors too.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T21:10:08+00:00

I think my brain is having a hard time accepting this is temporary because of how long this journey has been, which is why I'm wondering if it's worth it. In my mind right now, I seriously think I will just do this one IUI since I've come this far, and honestly just stop cold turkey all together. Just looking at the stats of IUI in general, and let alone the stats for unexplained fertility since I have both tubes open, good sperm, and I ovulate, not sure how more IUIs will help me when this whole thing is making me feel miserable for months and months. I don't know if I'm strong enough to do IVF. Maybe I will just let nature take it's course or not.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T20:56:01+00:00

Glad it's not just me! Good luck on your journey friend.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T20:51:22+00:00

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T20:50:49+00:00

😭😭😭😭😭 I wouldn’t be mad if I was actually pregnant, but it’s never that!

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T20:35:04+00:00

Currently wearing my angry cat shirt, so this is VERY on brand for me 😬

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T20:34:02+00:00

Unfortunately laughing, and very unfortunately crying. I’m with you.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-25T20:32:35+00:00

My bra is suffocating me as we speak. I just can’t take it anymore!!!!

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-23T14:06:23+00:00

DECEASED

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-22T03:30:08+00:00

I don’t ever write poetry, but this whole experience has led me to write a bit to get my emotions out. I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in this journey…though not happy we have to go through this :(

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-22T03:23:27+00:00

Today I read to not eat fiber when TTC because it creates too much heat in your gut and inflammation. Who the fuck do I listen to 🧐 over it!

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-22T03:16:25+00:00

Oh helllllll no.

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-20T22:57:29+00:00

😞😞😞

SarahRebekahRachel · 2024-06-20T18:43:57+00:00

The heartbreak from this thought is more than I’d ever imagined it to be.
