42 and new! TTC with IUI

vballbabyvballbaby member
in TTC after 35
Hello ladies, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 42, and just had my back to back IUI with the second one this morning. I took clomid and grew two good sized follies (16 & 20), took the HCG trigger shot this past Sunday night so we'll see what happens. Hubby is 9 years my junior and we just got married in June after being together 6 years. So wish me luck! If anyone has any questions about my other numbers I'm happy to share. Hubby's sperm is great except he has 1% morphology so I'm wondering if that's why I haven't gotten prego over the past few years of unprotected sex. Could be my age too.
Me 42, DH 33, TTC for about a year naturally (but no protection for 4 yrs). Together 6 yrs, married June 2014.
CD 3, FSH of 15, E2 67, AMH 0.43, LH 6.2, normal HSG test
DH good count but low volume, 87% motility, 1% morphology
IUI#1 - Nov 2014, 100 mg clomid and HCG, 2 large follies 20 & 16mm (7 follies total). BFN
IVF# 1 Jan 2014, 225 Gonal F, 225 Menopur, Ganirelix, 4R/3M/1F w/ICSI - PUPO!

    Thanks! the TWW is upon me now! Right now I'm cramping and I'm about to curl up with a book and milk this "rest day" for all it's worth. :)

    Welcome!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Welcme! 
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

    Hi and welcome but I hope you find your stay here short!

    Also, let me know if what you're reading ends up being a good book :D
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    @runner76‌ - depends on your insurance. Call them and find out if you have any infertility coverage.

    Thanks ladies:) I've been having cramping on my right side. It's like I can feel the egg traveling down my tube as it feels slightly lower each day. I wonder if this is normal or a good sign or it's just because everything was made bigger from the clomid? Haven't had any other side effects from the hcg other than a few headaches.

    Thank you! so I'm 5 DPIUI and I still feel the same cramp on my right side. It feels like a constant sharp pain (but not that painful I can just feel it) in my right ovary but I feel like it's moved downwards since the procedure. Anyone else experience this? I'm assuming because my larger follies were on my right side this would make sense. Has anyone felt the egg moving downwards day by day? maybe it's just sore and still enlarged because of the clomid.
