Well our IUI attempt number 3 was unsuccessful.

I wish this was easier. I wish I wasn't soo sad right now.

I guess the real issue I'm dealing is hope. Do I keep trying but give up hope? I know that might sound silly but if I wasn't as hopeful then I don't think this would be as difficult. I'm just starting to wonder if I <i>should</i> have hope for something if I have no guarantee that it will become a reality someday?

Sorry to be a downer, I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.

Pinky I'm so sorry <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Nothing is a guarantee. I mean think about it - you only release an egg from one ovary - the sperm have to make it through the uterus, and into the right fallopian tube and then actually connect w/ the egg. I have read that only a few hundred sperm actually reach the egg (when it happens) out of the millions that started out. When I stop to think about all the things that "can go wrong" with conceiving and then making a baby and carrying a pregnancy to term, it seems like it could only take a miracle to make it work.

I'm sure your time will come - every attempt is a new beginning w/ new odds. Don't lose hope yet. You're on the right track.

I'm sorry <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I remember when my IUI didn't take right away and how disappointing it was. I started to ask myself questions like, <i>"Will I be able to conceive a child?", "If I do ever get pregnant, will I be able to carry the baby without complications?", "Do I have other fertility problems that they haven't found?", </i>etc. I can't imagine the disappointment I would have felt if I continued to have unsuccessful IUI's.

On the statistics I have read on IUI, there is a 75% of conceiving after 6 attempts, so only like a 12% success rate with each try. It's horrible statistics.

I don't remember your situation, but is the reason you have to do IUI because of increased CM and difficulties getting pregnant naturally from that? Did you have an HSG done?

I know those of us that have had to use IUI to get pregnant have had different success rates from it. Some of us have taken longer to get pregnant, others it has worked right away. Don't give up hope yet. But it's incredibly hard not to let yourself get disappointed with each try. You have hope with each try that this will be 'the one'. Don't give up that hope yet.

Keep us updated and I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I'm very sorry it didn't work. Yes, it is worth putting your sanity and happiness on the line to become a parent if you truly want it. Loving your child is an amazing experience, life altering. Becoming a parent isn't easy for some people but being a parent isn't easy either! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
