So, the 4th attempt did not work. It's so frustrating. I was pretty sure this time worked because I felt so different...bouts of crying which I never have done, nausea, and really tired. But, then AF arrived yesterday. I was so emotional I called in sick today and took the day to lay in bed and have a pity party.
Then to top it all off, I got an explanation of benefits in the mail that said my insurance has denied 2 months of my IUIs. When I called, they said they denied the March ones too, which makes 3 months. They said they were denied because my dr did not get the proper preauthorization. I called my dr and they are looking into it, so basically my dr is fighting with my insurance. I only have 2 more vials left and thought I could afford a few more, but I probably can't if my insurance continues to deny my claims. I am just so frustrated with this process. I hope my dr will at least cut me a break or something if they did not take the proper steps, and the lady in billing told me today that my file was flagged and showed I needed a preauthorization.
My dr decided today to step up to injectibles for the last two vials in case I don't try anymore after these two. But then I heard the meds might not be in by the time I need them next week, so we might have to skip a month. It just seems everytime I take a step forward, I have to take 2 back. I know tomorrow or the next day I will get my second wind and will feel better, but today has just been so frustrating.
Thanks for reading while I vent.

Stay positive and if you do not have a puppy dog or cat find a friend and borrow their animal if you like animals. They love us and always make us feel better.
Keep us up to date on what is going on.
What helped me was talking to a counselor. While I have had tons of support, few people in my life fully understood where I was coming from, and I was sooo tired of crying to them. The therapist was a fresh and neutral perspective; I recommend it. You all certainly helped, too!
shonarb, I'm honored to think that my story helps you keep your head high. I have such high hopes for all of us! Good luck, friends! Sending hugs and positive thoughts.
