Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Nothing

December 17, 2006 — 6:45 am

Well… at least I know. Every second that ticked by my shoulders slumped a little more. The control line got nice and dark. Nothing else did. It always amazes me every month, how stark white a test can be. 4 eggs, good progesterone, and nothing. In essence, four normal months of trying, nothing. What the hell is wrong? How can getting pregnant be THIS difficult when there is NOTHING wrong?

Not crying though. Big part of me is just resigned to BFNs every single month and expects it. I do feel very hollow inside.

    Just because there is “nothing wrong” via the tests you have had thus far, does not mean that there isn’t some reason why you are having difficulty.

    The hardest thing for me, was accepting the unexplained diagnosis. Once we did a couple of IVF’s we were no longer unexplained. At 30, I only produced, at MOST, 3 eggs and they made crappy embryos. I produced more follies during my IUI’s with less meds. Not everything in this field is cut and dried. Much of it does not make sense.

    I’m very sorry that this IUI didn’t work. But don’t give up yet. One way or another, you can become a mother.

    I am so, so sorry. That first negative treatment cycle is REALLY rough. I remember crying for days.

    Be good to yourself, OK? It’s a hard thing to go through.
