Hi everyone. I'm brand new to the board.. thought I'd share my experience thus far. nice knowing there are others to chat about it with who feel your anxiety sometimes.
Im 37 years old and my hubby and I have been married for 3 years and have been together almost 12, so right after we got married we were ttc. Unfortunately with no insurance at the time and me having PCOS we were kind of at a stand still. Nothing was happening and we couldn't see a specialist because of the insurance issue.
As of April this year we finally had insurance. So in June we went to RMA of NJ in Morristown. A few of my friends have had success there and we have heard so many amazing things about them, and made the decision to go there.
Since June I have been poked and prodded with needles and ultrasound wands which im sure most on here know that deal. Ive had an HSG, saline ultrasound and eventually D&C to remove polyps. Everything was clean and clear and ready to go. We needed to wait on AF. One thing about me is without BCPS I do not get AF... Ever! So I went back for follow up labs an u/s and they said I ovulated. In my head that was impossible because well, that's never happened. She told me to wait 10 days and if AF came we could start our first cycle. Nothing happened so I was a little disappointed but not surprised. She told me to wait thru the weekend.. Would you know the next day .. viola! So here we were ready to start our first cycle of Gonal-f. I have been giving myself injections since 10/5 with the units being increased almost every time. Took my last one Monday night and my Ovidrel trigger last night 10/27 and had my first IUI today. We go back tomorrow fur the second one and then the 2ww.
The anxiety is still there but now it's a little more of an excited one and not so much nervous one. I don't really have very high expectations from this first round. Not that our can't work. I'm a super positive person, always try to find the best in situations and things. I don't want to get my hopes up too high.. But the works works in mysterious ways right..
Thanks for listening and I just want to wish all the wonderful people in this group TTC the best of luck!
