Well…round 2 of fertility treatments didn’t go quite as planned. I just assumed that because we got pregnant after our second IUI last time, that it would be a similar outcome this time. But after 4 failed IUIs, I guess I was wrong. I blame everyone who told me I’d get pregnant faster the second time because “my body would know what to do.”
But here we are…starting IVF. Do I want to do IVF? No. But I didn’t want to do the IUIs either, so I guess it is what it is. I do, however, want to get something moving. At least I know IVF has a higher success rate, so that’s exciting to think about.
Last time I went through our IUIs I was actively hiding it and felt so alone. I honestly just didn’t know how to navigate it. I still don’t really know how to navigate it, especially with it being different this time, but I at least feel a little more prepared. I feel like now, I have more life experience and I’ve discovered that way more people are struggling with this than I originally thought. I’m not sure how much I want to share, but I do know I don’t want to hide it.
Even if sharing it lets just one person know they’re not alone, that makes me feel less alone.
