I'm sorry about the BFN, I know how it all wears down on you. I'm tired of my life being on hold too. I have a friend that did injectibles/IUI 5 times, and got pregnant on the 5th. I think it depends on what's going on with you and what your doctor says as to how many you should do before IVF.

I am so sorry for BFN. It can be very disheartening when things aren't going your way. Talk to your doctor and see whats/he says about moving on to IVF. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry about your BFN :( As far as the IUI/IVF thing, I think it just depends on what the issue is....like with mine, from the beginning they said IVF would prob be the only thing that worked, but I couldn't afford it so we did IUI instead...now I'm onto IVF with no success so far. I'm currently in another 2ww tho. And if your insurance covers it, or you have no problem affording it, then hey I say go for it!!! Good luck. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry to hear this! The emotions you have are very normal and it's ok to feel that way. I think the best thing is to take time for yourself and 'try' to enjoy your self at those weddings. I think you should talk to your Dr. all this and get their opinion on what the next step should be. Good luck and keep us posted! :D

I am sorry about your BFN. I did two IUIs (one with clomid and one with femera). My RE suggested that rather than go onto injectibles, to just go right to IVF. IVF worked the first time with me.

I'm so sorry! We haven't done IUI or IVF yet, but we've been trying for over 5 years. And I have done the same as you, with hoping, thinking maybe I will be pregnant by then, or even have a baby! But for me, thinking like that only makes those days even harder to bear. I swear, I do that every Christmas, and every Mother's day at least! And every time I just want to cry because I STILL don't have a baby, or even a pregnancy!!

I'm so sorry, and I know how it feels to go month after month, with AF showing and no BFP or pregnancy to look forward to. Try to take some time for yourself, and just let it all out. Let yourself be upset and hurt, so you can try to move past it. I'll pray for you!! Sending big hugs your way.

I'm sorry to hear about BFN, it is very hard every month to get those results. Hope everything goes well for you next month

It is very draining and can suck the life out of you. I have done 4 IUIs the first with Clomid the last with clomid an follistim. Then next will be all follistim. If you can afford/have insurance and can go to IVF I would consider it for the near future. Good luck.

I am sorry about your BFN. I hate those letters. I did 6 IUI before moving onto IVF. Our second IVF worked for us. I would say you need to discuss it with your doctor and see what they say. Good luck!!

I am so sorry. It does take its toll on us.
Some RE's suggest 4-6 IUI's before moving on to IVF. I guess it would also depend on insurance coverage, what you can afford and why they would think you may need IVF. Has your doctor made any suggestions?

I really hope you get a BFP soon.

I'm thinking the same thing. I've just had IUI #4 fail (but my 1st time w/injectables) and I can't do more than 2 more IUI's but then ask myself should I just go onto IVF. My RE said IUI is still good chance, but I don't know what to believe anymore. Two years almost to the day of TTC, and I'm getting tired. I think if you have the money I would go to IVF after one more IUI, but that's the hard part - the darn expense of it all!
