Needing encouragment

I am new to the board so please excuse my lack of abbreviations! My husband and I were praying for a Christmas miracle that I don't think is coming true. I was taking Clomid, had 2 follies, 52 million sperm post wash, and an IUI on Christmas eve. Today is day 25 and the EPT was negative. I know that I could possibly still be pregnant but I am starting to cramp so I think the inevitable is going to happen. I know technically I am just starting my road with infertility, but for me, we have been trying for a year and a half and I have had 1 10w miscarraige and 2 chemical preganancies and am ready for this journey to come to a close so that I can focus my energy on keeping the pregnancy to term (had 26w boy 02/28/06). Is there anyone with undiagnosed infertility who has had success with IUI? Am I being crazy for being sad and disappointed when I don't technically know?

Hi mlc_monteith, Welcome to the board,
First let me tell you that I am so sorry to hear about your losses.
Big hugs and welcome. I am so sorry for your losses.
You are definitely not being crazy for how you are feeling. I think we all feel that way from time to time. I just had the conversation with my DH tonight about "what if it never happens?" and we just started ttc again after a corrective surgery on my uterus. Fact is this is very difficult to go through. I am so glad I found this board because it is like finally finding people who understand what this is like. People IRL (in real life:) are constantly telling me to "relax" and "it will happen" and they really don't know that.
Hello and welcome:
I think you will find that the women on this board totally understand the frustration of infertility. It is such a cruel thing. For me, the worse thing is feeling betrayed by my body and then when I think I am right about something, my body shows me how wrong I can be...I agree with Grace who said she wishes she could look into the future so she could just relax or (in my case, make other plans like adoption). I'm 39, (40 in 3 weeks) and have never been pg and am right now experiencing a weird cycle). I've never been pregnant and think the possibility of the two pink lines are getting further away.... In your case, I think day 25 DPO is too early to test accurately but you know your body better than any one. I will keep my fingers crossed for a + outcome.
Best wishes,
Gabrielle
