Feeling low after first medicated IUI round ended in a negative test

[Daybyday35]

Feeling very down. Had my first medicated round of iui 13 days ago and was feeling positive got good sperm numbers etc. I done everything I could eating healthy, acupuncture, reflexology and was feeling hopeful. Done a test this morning and got a negative. This journey can be difficult and lonely. I feel I have unintentionally withdrawn from everyone.

Sending lots of hugs! It's such a hard time - when you're in it it feels like forever and like it won't ever happen. It does feel very lonely and all consuming.

TW: success
I did 6 rounds of IUI (last two medicated) and 2 IVF rounds before getting my lovely baby boy who is now nearly 9 months old. Hopefully it won't take that for you though. I was so close to giving up after an awful first round of IVF. If only we had a crystal ball to know what was going to happen. Thankfully something told me to just keep going a bit longer. But please be kind to yourself as it's an exhausting time.

Sending you lots of courage and luck! Here to chat anytime 😊

Bless you. Im sending you a big hug and positive energy. X
