Hi, 
I have been a long time lurker, on the TTC board, but always too afraid to post. My journey has been three years of trying with no success.  We came to the conclusion we needed to see a RE and then finally saw the RE a few weeks ago.  Right now they have no real answers why we haven't had any success. Except our ages I am 40 and DH is soon to be 39.I checked out fine at our appointment. My DH has Diabetes and High Blood Pressure.

So now I am in the middle of cycle 1 of IUI with 2.5 mg of Femara with the ultrasound Monday to see when shot should follow.  

Right now I am dazed and confused with this whole journey.  I have not loved being on Femara ( I feel like I have been a real *itch)I have one more day of it.  Plus we have elected to not tell anyone our struggles except you all who are reading this now because I have to get some of this out of my head. 

Thanks for listening

    Welcome to the group! I took Clomid and felt like I was crazy so that's normal with treatments. This place is awesome to vent, share etc..... I hope you get your BFP quickly!

    Welcome! My husband and I are not sharing our IVF journey with anyone either. It's a personal choice. We shared our miscarriages, and wish we never had. Every time we went to a family party / get together, multiple people would approach me regarding our losses. It was very emotionally draining and finally, we had to say ENOUGH to people. Leave us alone. Stop making me cry every time I attend a party.

    Thanks for the welcome.  I'm off to the RE tomorrow for the ultrasound to find out when to do the trigger shot of Ovidrel and IUI.
