Celi--
AF arrived yesterday for me too. So I certainly know how you feel. Do something to treat yourself--a pedicure, ice cream, whatever. And let's hope this next cycle is it for both of us!

Thank you all for the support!! I'm feeling really discouraged and decided to take a break for a while... we will have two international trips this year, so we decide to give our minds and bodies a break from the fertility treatment, and next year try to look for another clinic and save for a possible IVF.... Thanks!! I will be around cheering for you girls!!!

Celina,

I am so sorry! Please take care of yourself! If you need a break then take one, this stuff gets pretty intense at times.

I'm hoping when you come back to ttc, it happens right away.

Or, it could happen while you're on break, stranger things have happened!

Please be good to yourself.....take care!

Girls, I am REALLY sorry to learn about your AF.
I have a question to all IUIers - do you take progesterone when on IUi cycles? And if yuo do, does AF arrive even while you are taking progesteron?

I'm so sorry. It is such a hard thing to deal with. I hope that you can do whatever you need to find the strength to keep going. Sometimes a break is much needed. It sounds like you have a lot to look forward this year. Hang in there and remember that we are all here if you need us.
