It is with a huge amount of disappointment that this entry is written - as we haven't had a positive result with our third IUI attempt.Whilst our previous failures have been bitter pills to swallow, this by far has been the most gut wrenching of them all. I think so many of our family and friends (us included) thought this was going to be the one that worked. People thought I had "that look, you know the glow", and although I didn't particularly feel any different Kyles and I held the hope that the younger donor may have been the key to our success. Unfortunately this time around it wasn't to be.
Just as this weeks Pearl of Wisdom asserts it is important that we not be defeated, but bravely forge ahead - and that is exactly what we intend to do. I mean what other choice is there? We would dearly love to have a child/children together and to give up on our dream at this point would almost be a sin.
We are realistic enough to know that we now have to cut our losses with the 10-15% success rate of the IUI's and move on to IVF which has a 35-40% success rate. So we are booked in for an IVF planning session with the clinic's nurses on thursday and from here we will work towards EPU late March early April 2010.
To finish off this post we would like to sincerely thank everyone for their prayers to the fertility godesses on our behalf!! While it appears they fell on deaf ears this time around, we will definately be needing them in approximately 16 weeks time.
