No go!!!

This news is coming a day late, forgive me! Unfortunately, the first IUI was unsuccessful. My wife found out during her afternoon class and had the strength to finish the class without crying. In the back of my mind, I kept telling myself to stay grounded but the anticipation of possibly becoming a father overtook any negative thoughts I had. Needless to say, we both took it pretty hard. One of the hardest things was having to find out while I was at work. So the both of us shed some tears last night and started to look toward the second round of IUI. The one thing I will admit is that I never grasped the strain infertility puts on a couple until going through this in person. Thankfully, my wife and I have a strong relationship and we will weather this storm together. I love her dearly and think that she is the bravest person I know.
