I need to vent, I’m so frustrated with our fertility clinic..

Ok I’ll try to make this as short as possible.
My wife and I were hoping to get pregnant with our 2nd child in June of this year. Knowing how long things can take from our previous experience, we started the process in January. Did bloodwork, swabs, all the tests to make sure all is good to start.
In March they told me I had urea plasma and I could treat it if I wanted. I said yes and did a week of antibiotics. They never tested me to make sure it was gone, and never treated my wife. I didn’t realize at the time it could be passed..
We had our IUI in June with our last vial from the same donor we used to get our son. It ended in a chemical pregnancy… I then asked them to swab me again for urea plasma. A week after I did the swab they called and said they just realized they never swabbed my wife and asked her to come in.. My results then came back positive, it’s been over two weeks and we haven’t heard anything about my wife.
We then found out that they never test the partners, they always treat both if one has it. I’m positive we’ve just been passing it back and forth and I know it’s why we had the miscarriage.. They won’t treat us and are making me have a consult about treatment with the doctor which I was told today the soonest she can see me is September 23rd..
I’m so frustrated and I can’t stop crying.. If they had just treated us both in March, this probably wouldn’t have happened.. I’m trying to get over the fact that our kids won’t have the same donor but it’s hard.. I don’t want to wait longer and I know once they treat us we’ll have to wait 2 more weeks after the antibiotics because I’ll want to swab again to avoid another miscarriage. Not to mention all the money we just spent on more sperm 😭. I’m feeling so heartbroken and helpless just sitting here waiting and waiting when this all could’ve been avoided. 💔

Omg I'm sorry this happened! As if IUI and buying sperm isn't stressful, expensive, and time consuming enough. My ex and I bought 7 vials of sperm, did 6 IUI that didn't work and our last attempt for having a baby was through IVF. I believe you can buy more sperm from the same donor because you already have a child with that donor, call the sperm bank and ask. I know what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel ❤️

Chemical and then pregnant

Hey, so I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. I started bleeding or my ‘period’ for over a week on 31st August after the positive tests a few days prior.

This month I haven’t done any ovulation tests we just went with the flow. I’ve now had a positive pregnancy test!

They are much darker than last time. I’m just wondering is it possible to get pregnant and have positive tests this soon after??

I’m really worried after what happened last month and I just don’t wanna get my hopes up to then end up with another loss or not pregnant😢

Chances of pregnancy

Hey! I took a LH test and it was negative on the night of CD11, but positive at 1pm of CD12 (first positive)… we had sex at 1am from CD11 to CD12… then we had sex morning of CD13 (7am). I tested CD13, and LH was still positive… we fell asleep and did not ttc CD14-15… when did I ovulate and what are the chances of pregnancy?

How did you know you were ready for baby #2?

Me and husband are going back and forth on baby #2.

I always thought we’d be one and done, however my husband is desperate for another baby.

I would like another baby, but I just don’t know when the right time is. One half thinks to start trying soon, have the smaller gap and just go for it.

But then the other half thinks do I wait until my toddler is starting school? But then that’s a long time away really.

I just don’t know! How did you know it was the right time?
