Hi guys! *introduction* TTC PCOS failed IUI

Hogwartsmom

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to have found this group. Ttc is hard! DH and I have been ttc for roughly 2 1/2 years.

Well, we found out the horrible news today that our IUI failed. Waiting 18 days for the beta test was an ETERNITY and I really thought this was the lucky cycle. AF showed up just hours before my RE called with the negative test results so at least I was prepared. We are pretty bummed about it though.

I have PCOS and my husband has the sperm of 5 healthy men. So that means it's my issues that are causing the infertility. Luckily, he has never blamed me for it but I still feel guilty about it! I almost never ovulate on my own but have been, however, cursed with random "periods" that come and go as they please, sometimes twice a month or once every 3 months. This went on until starting Femara several months ago. I was on chlomid before that with no results.

We are working with a wonderful RE. Sunday marks the start of my 9th round of fertility medications. I'm taking 10mg for 7 days instead of 5 days. We discovered last cycle that 10mg was the magic number and finally got me an egg. So, fingers crossed and I look forward to meeting you all!

Welcome, I'm sorry that you are here but happy to have another friend around. I too have PCOS and i understand the frustration of irregularity far too well i would have a period 1 maybe 2 times a year without meds. Its great that women with PCOS have such high AMH levels....sucks though that they rarely grow large enough to mean anything.

GL with this cycle. Hopefully now that they figured out 10 is your magic number this might be it, FX for you!

Wow, 1or 2 times a year makes it even harder. PCOS is nuts! Thanks for saying hi and fx for you too!

Welcome!  My issues are different (MFI) but I certainly understand the heartbreak of learning the IUI was unsuccessful!  I will be moving to my 2nd IUI soon as well.  Best of luck for you this cycle!

Thank you so much everyone! I love knowing I'm not alone, even though I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I'm loving this board.
