i have been getting myself all worked up and excited to start my iui this month. instead of the usual dreading the af arriving i have been willing it to come on so that we can get started. however my husband went for a job interview a couple of weeks ago and he has just been offered the job yesterday.
he has to work shifts so he wont know what his shifts are going to be this month, hence the treatment has been put back till next month, that is as long as i have it before christmas day and boxing day (a holiday here in the uk) because the clinic is closed.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! i feel like a complete b*%$* coz although i am really really really excited about my hubby getting a new job and bettering himself i am also a little let down about the treatment. i know it is only one month but i was so geared up for it. am i just being totally selfish?

Not selfish at all. My husband just got a job offer yesterday for a new company and I thought "I hope my IUI will be on the weekend since the new job won't be as flexible with leaving work for appointments". It's normal for us to be selfish right now!

No, I think it is totally natural to feel that way. I think infertility is hard enough without worry about DH not being able to be there at the right time, or clinics closed. Man, what we have to go through. Good luck!

thanks for your replies it makes me feel heaps better to know i am not alone in how i feel. even friends who know aout the treatment have said how disappointed they would be. but as i said it is only a month and i am so lucky to have a husband who cares enough to be bothered! good luck to you all and bundles of baby dust too

You are not selfish at all! It is so hard not to get excited and then let down when life happens to throw us a curve ball. I go through that stress every time I have to schedule a business trip. Hang in there and just have lots of fun TTC this month and maybe you won't even have to wait until IUI :-)

You're not being selfish. Why do you guys have to wait another month? Do the men have lots of appointments too in the UK? My hubby only had to deliver a sample and I could have brought it in for him if he couldn't make it. Just curious??
I know it's sooo hard to wait another cycle when you've already been waiting so long already. Hopefully the holidays will keep you busy. Good luck on your next cycle and keep us posted please!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
