Start to panic?

These are mommed 25miu tests so not very sensitive, but the lines staying the same. Bottom one is compared to a 10miu easy@home a few days ago for comparison.

When do I start exploring ivf? 2 miscarriages

Living my life in 2 week increments is so hard, and I'm spiralling over everything, getting all the fertility tests I can. Is there a way for it to be easier?

I'm scared

We started my first round of iui due to us having a 4 percent chance of conceiving naturally. I started taking letrozole yesterday, and there has been no bad reaction to it so far.
