I need some hope!

We will be trying IUI for the first time at the end of June. I'm going to take a few months off work so that I am stress free. I am 39 and also have one tube blocked. I need this to work. It's our last chance. Any good news out there? If one more person says that if I stop thinking about it or give up, that's when it will happen, I'm going to scream.

Good luck. I truly believe that the more relaxed and hopeful you can be the better. You have no reason to believe that it will not work. Think of it that way. Best of luck.

I hate that "stop thinking about it" statement that so many people who dont understand love to say! Its really great that you can take off work for a while. Having a break from all other stresses like work will really help. I did my first IUI on the 31st of last month and I find out how it worked next thurs. I've heard lots of success stories with IUI. Sometimes it doesnt work the first time through. My RE says they usually know if it will work by the 3rd or 4th time. I know its so much easier said than done, but dont lose hope!

lots of women have success with IUI. it's a cliche' but try to think positively.
are you using injectable meds or clomid with the IUI?
wishing you lots and lots of luck!!

It is so easy for those who have not gone through this to say "stop thinking about it". They aren't the ones going through it and will not ever understand until they have the same issues.

Good luck. I have tried IUI and am doing the ever-dreaded waiting game right now. People are endlessly telling me not to think about it. HOW can you just stop thinking about it!!!! AAHHHHHHH so annoying.

The other statement I cannot stand people saying to me is "relax," it will happen. However, they all have children. Anyway, there are alot of success stories with IUI. I just had a second IUI but failed, I believe the next one will be it. My RE told me that on average it takes approximately three times to succeed. My cousin conceived her first child with IUI. It took on the third time with injectibles. Don't give up hope

I hate when ppl say that also . Who the heck can ever forget what you want most in life. Good luck with the IUI.

Thanks to you all! It's so nice to talk to people who know what I'm going through. I just found the site yesterday. Good luck to all of you trying as well. I will be taking the injections. My man and I both hate needles so that should be interesting!
