The silver lining is that you now know that you had a great response to injectables. If you do need to cycle again your RE can tweak the meds for an optimal response.

Please keep us posted, OP.

OP back with update.

BFN. Amazing that 94 million sperm and 8-10 eggs cannot connect for even a singleton. I guess I am the epitome of "unexplained infertility". Well, I guess not really given my history, but it is still pretty unexplainable! Trying to come to terms with the fact that this journey of TTC, 2 years and 6 months, is coming to an end. We have enough meds for one more cycle, maybe two if they keep on a low dose of gonal-f. It is fitting because they say after 3 cycles of the same protocol, then you should move on. So, I guess we will doing that since this was our first cycle of injectables with IUI. Trying to trust God in this. My prayer was that if would be a blessing to the family, if it would strengthen our family and marriage and help us to grow closer to Him, then please bless us with another child. I am willing to accept God's answer, but it doesn't make the initial acute sadness any less. : (

Good luck to you all!

don't lose hope. i also had 8 follicles, good sperm and got a bfn. i was amazed that i couldn't get knocked up on those odds. as someone pointed out, you respond well to the drugs, so that's good. and you won't look back on this cycle and wish you had been more agressive. it's only a matter of time and it will happen.
