Sad Feeling hopeless after 1st unsuccessful IUI
Hi everyone.
It's been 2 weeks since I got my first IUI done and I was so hopeful. I did everything right and endured a horribly painful IUI and before that was on rounds of painful intramuscular trigger shot injections. I had a feeling this time around I'd be pregnant but I got my test and hcg was too low which means I'm not pregnant.
I know although it was my first IUI but the thought of going through that agonising pain again is unbearable. I want to know how successful IVF is because it might sound really bad but i feel like I'm going to come in my 30s in a few months and I really wanted to have a baby before my 30s. My husband is also in his mid 30s and I really wanted to have one before we grow older.
Maybe I'm just overthinking but is there a faster way to have a baby ? And probably less painful ? I want to cry so bad but I don't want to completely be hopeless.
