Our Journey

I am 28 and my husband is 32. We've been TTC for 14 months now. All of our tests came back great so we're in the "unexplained" category. My husband has a 12 yr old son who lives with us so I am a full time mom but I crave to know what it's like to have a child of my own.

I have been regular since the day I started my period. I've always been between 27-29 days so ovulation is not a problem. I haven't been on birth control for at least 4 years so that's not the problem either. We did our first iui and just found out 3 days ago that it didn't work. I've responded great to Clomid with 3-4 follicles everytime. The first round of Clomid we had to cancel the iui because my husband was really sick. Then we had to sit a month out because they found out that I was immune to Rubella and had to get that shot and sit out the whole cycle. So first round was in May, 2nd in June (Rubella shot so nothing), 3rd round - IUI - failed.

So here we are starting our 4 month and hopefully there are no set backs. I had my baseline u/s yesterday and got the go ahead to start the Clomid again. Hopefully we'll be doing another iui on August 1st. That's all for now. I'll keep you posted!!

Thanks Rachel. I go in to the RE for a check on my follicles tomorrow (CD12). If they're ready, we'll do the ovidrel shot and hopefully the iui#2 on Friday.

Angie - I will know on Friday whether or not the 3rd iui worked. We did ours on 8/30. After this we're done and will try naturally for a while since there isn't anything medically wrong and we can't afford in vitro at this time. None of this fertility stuff has been covered by insurance and we have been self pay the whole way.

Are you in the 2ww? Good Luck to you!!!!

Melissa:

I wish you all the BFP in the world! I know how costly all these infertility treatments can be. I know a friend of mine who went through one cycle of IVF and it cost her $20K. It's crazy! I am on the other hand very fortunate. my treatments are covered 100%.

It is at least very good to know that you and your DH are perfectly fine medically to concieve naturally. I wish that my situation is different.

I am in my 2ww and the time seems like it is going soooooo slow. What can I do to have the time pass quicker???

Good Luck on Friday and I will have everything crossed for you!

Baby Dust!

Angie - I don't know how to make the time go by faster!! I can test on Friday and it seems like it's so far away. When can you test? Is this your 3rd iui as well?

Good luck and whole lot of baby dust coming your way!
