Waiting for IUI

Hi everyone, I decided to join this group because I felt like I needed to reach out to some people who were going through IF and understand what it's really like to be depressed for 2 days just because you got your period.

I'm 26 and DH is 27 and we have been TTC for 2+ years. I was diagnosed with endo 1 yr ago after a laparotomy to remove a large ovarian cyst. I did 6mo of Lupron then tried on my own for a few months per recommendation of my RE. They decided to start A cycle of IUI and found a new cyst and made me wait a month. Went to a new RE a few months later and he was going to start IUI but found 2 new cysts. Is making me wait another month and discovered I'm hypothyroid. Started meds for that and in a month I'll go back and check to see if cyst is still there. If it is they will go in and drain it.

I am so fruatraited because I feel like every step I take I find a new setback and can't even get any process going! What is hard is seeing all of your friends getting pregnant on the first try and being reminded on an almost daily basis on Facebook of your struggle. I know Everyhing will work out, and I am hopeful, but quite frustraited.

  • Welcome!  Sorry to hear about all your struggles.  Although they were intermittent, I was getting a lot of cysts a while back that kept benching me...it certainly was frustrating.  I hope you can finally move forward on your next check.  Good luck!!!
