I know that I am going to sound whiny and selfish but here goes.
This sucks!!! Its been eleven months and still no hint of a bfp. I know its dp's body and not mine, but I am still taking it very hard this cycle. We were so hopeful with using a kd and having four insems. We thought for sure we nailed the timing. Ff looked the best it has ever been. And then yesterday and today her temp started dropping. I want to give up and go to an RE. I want to turn everything over to someone else I can blame. I am usually strong for dp, this cycle is just hard to stay that way.
I am looking for some words of wisdom from those that have had/been trying as long. Or a shut the hell up from those that have tried way longer. I just am at a loss this time. How do I help dp? I track, I worry, I make sure to get the insems up there. We rub her belly, carry babydust in our pockets, what else can we do?
Thanks for listenting to this rant. I appreciate everyones posts.
ETA: We have done both fresh and frozen cycles. About half and half.

In the meantime we took breaks when we were overwhelmed, travelled as much as we could, and just prayed and waited. It's hard, but for us it would have been much harder to not have children.

Need to update a ticker, Silas Anthony Jordon born Oct 11, 2013. 6th baby, so much love!
We had one last ditch Thanksgiving IUI - medicated - and terrible, abysmal numbers with the sperm. (Ok, they weren't that bad, but they weren't good.) I was still so hopeful *lucky* cycle 13 would be the one.
It wasn't. We were done. We had done cycles 1 - 7 at home. Cycles 8 - 13 with the RE. It was just time. We did IVF and were incredibly lucky to get pregnant on super, wonderful cycle 14.
I had all the testing done before we even tried at home. Textbook cycles. Not a blip that anything would be wrong. But, something wasn't right.
I'm not saying you need to get to IVF. But, I'd second or third all the above - sometimes it's just time to check in with a doctor. There could be something super easy that just isn't working . . . And poof! It might! And that's how it happens. One day you aren't pregnant and the next day, like magic, you are.
Good luck!
