My emotions have been up and down all day, but I'm feeling fairly stable now so this seems like a good time to post. This past cycle I took injectibles (lupron and follistim) and had back to back IUI on July 4 and 5. I had some bleeding start on Friday which was a week early for my period. 3 yrs ago when I got PG with DD from IUI I thought I got my period a week later, but I was actually PG. When the bleeding first started on Friday I convinced myself that maybe this was the case so I didn't call the RE's office. By yesterday afternoon the bleeding continued so I had to face facts that it's my period, not PG, which was rather dissapointing. To make matters worse, I go into the RE's office tomorrow, but it might be too late in my cycle to do the regular tx course which would set me back yet another month. I'm so angry and frustrated. I can deal with waiting a few weeks longer for a baby, but I'm dreading going back to shots, doctor's visits at the break of dawn and all the accompanying stress.
Oh man I'm so sorry. But why would tomorrow be too late? I don't understand.
It would be the 5th day of the cycle and I'm supposed to go in on the third day. TBH I don't know why that means it may not work, but that's what the nurse told me.

I don't know. I'm a weird non-ovulater but they let me start my injections on day 5 this cycle so maybe they can run your labhs and you will still be at baseline, good luck.
I finally went to a "real" RE. She told me I'm too fat (thanks), I got the lab work done, and now I need to go in for a weigh in Aug 10 (and hopefully I'll be below the BMI cutoff for an IUI). I can't even start the IUI process yet... I'm waiting for my period to come after Provera (I finished the dose over a week ago), and will need to go in for an HSG as soon as that happens. Now, DH is on the cusp of losing his job in September (and our great insurance that covers 6 IUI cycles) GAH! The timing of this all sucks balls. Turning 35 in October is going to suck ever harder.
In the meantime, I went to a family gathering last weekend and freaking EVERYONE was asking us about when we're going to have a #2. Um, mind your own f@#$'ing business!
I really hope that next month is your month!!!! I'll be praying for you!

I'm so sorry. I had a similar experience last month (did an injectables cycle). It's crazy but secondary IF hurts just as bad, if not worse in some weird way, as the first time around. I was so down last week when I got my BFN that it took a few days to recover. **hugs** I hope your next cycle is the lucky one!
Thanks so much everyone. I really apprecizte all the support. When I went in htis morning the doctor (my regular dr's partner) said everything looked good and I restart my injectibles tonight. The exciting part is I don't have to take lupron which was a harder shot. I go back on Friday. Hopefully this cycle will be the one.
