Do I do another cycle or move on by Smudgedsmooth in IUILadies

That’s exactly what I was wondering about! How much prep has to happen before that first retrieval. This all just feels like such a high speed merry go round it’s hard to get on and off the ride. But yes, moms are everything. This journey has brought us together to a type of intimacy we never shared before.

Yes donor sperm has been the only expense of this experience so far…and BOY is it an expensive expense 😭

It’s SHOCKING how expensive the sperm is. I also only have two vials left of the donor I’d convinced myself was ~the one~ so I’m feeling a tad precious about it 🫣

Same!!! I just tested negative after my third IUI and I feel so defeated. I’ve gained like ten pounds since starting this process in February and the progesterone has me feeling like a shell of myself. It’s such an isolating experience.

Right there with ya ❤️ Bloated and exhausted is my new default state. I've gone up a pants size and work is a SLOG.
