CD2 IUI #3-New to this board.....any CD buddies!

in Trouble TTC

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to "The Bump" and  just wanted to have some buddies going through my same struggles to talk to. DH and I have been TTC since Oct of 2013. We tried naturally until Oct of 2014, when we decided to go see a fertility specialist. All of our tests came back normal. Egg supply is good and DH's sperm count is normal. We had our first IUI, no meds, in Nov 2014-BFN. 2nd IUI with 5MG of Letrozole and trigger shot-BFN. I am now on CD2, gearing up for IUI #3! I start my Letrozole tomorrow. Anyone else out there in my boat?!? We can be cycle buddies! :) I was so devastated after my 2nd IUI, b/c I had two mature follies and I thought timing was perfect, but of course we can never be certain! Anyway, I cried, drank some wine and brushed myself off. Here I am on CD2, ready to ride this IUI and 2WW train again! :)

Me: 34 (all tests normal) DH: 35 (all tests normal)
Married 2013 
TTC since October 2013 
First RE visit after TTC naturally-Oct 2014
HSG test Oct 2014-no blockage
Non medicated IUI #1-Nov 2014-BFN
Letrozole 5MG and Trigger Shot IUI #2-Dec 2014-BFN
No Change in Meds-IUI #3-Jan 2014-Currently in TWW

    Hi and Welcome! I'm sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. IF is never easy finding this board has taught me so much. I would suggest joining the IUI Check-in board and 3T weekly check-in. Wishing you the best of luck and hope your stay with us is a short one.

    @tiffmich08 - Welcome! I hope you find this community to be as supportive as I have. Hopefully you won't have to be here long but if you do, the ladies here are amazingly supportive and knowledgeable. Good luck on your IUI cycle!
    **Formerly EastBayBride508**

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
    Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)

    Married 8/20/2011
    TTC #1 since Jan 2013
    First appointment with RE 10/2013.  
    April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
    May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
    June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8.  HCG shot CD14.  IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN
    July 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD3-7.  Ultrasound CD12 - 4 mature follies! HCG trigger shot CD12 AM.  IUI#3 on CD13 w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW ....BFN
    July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.
    August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one.  Super freak out mode over surgery plan.  OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
    August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy.  Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!  
    November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found).  Benched x 3 months
