Well we are officially taking a break for a few months and will start IVF late winter / early spring of this coming year. I am not really looking forward to it, but it has to happen!
My DH and I met my freshman year in college, he was a senior at the time. My first semester I was smitten, the man can make me laugh, but ended up dating other people but remained close friends, he went on to get a masters degree so remained at the University. We finally started dating / committed to each other after I graduated from undergrad, right before he was deployed over seas. It is kind of nice being married to my best friend!
Married May 2009, TTC since November 2012 (Together since 2006 ish - had my eyes on him since 2001)
Me: 32 (33 in May), Him: 37 (January)
DX: Me: High Prolactin, Possible Autoimmune Disease Issues, though RE not concerned (?) New RE has a plan!!
Him: Minor Varicocele, low morphology, slightly low count
History:
Beta 5/9/2016 BFP!! Embryo transfer scheduled for April 28, 2016 and beta test May 9, 2016 (day after Mother's Day!) Transfer Meds include: Lupron Depot (4/1), Minivelle Patch (every 3rd day), Estradiol (3x daily), Amoxicillin, Progesterone in Oil, Methylprednisonlone. Lovenox and baby asprin added after transfer.
3/22/16 - Sono Saline ultrasound cyst to be aspirated on 4/1/16 if not cleared up by 3/29 US - It cleared on its own Retrieval 3/4/16 - 26 eggs retrieved, 23 mature, 20 fertilized, 14 embryos currently frozen Starting IVF Stims on +/- Feb 22, 2016 HSG scheduled for 1-26-16 - All clear "beautiful uterus" (though inverted)
Switched clinics and now prepping for IVF in February / March
Went in for my follicle check this morning and had three: 17, 18, 21. The re wants them to grow a little more so hoping to trigger tomorrow and iui Monday. Waiting for my blood results though to confirm that.
Layer to the party this week! AF showed up, couldn't even really feel disappointed since I didn't think it would have worked. We have an appt with the re on Monday and I am hoping we will be referred for ivf.
@MorganL925 I'm in the same boat. Low count seems to be our problem, and DH has slightly lower testosterone. He was prescribed Clomid, we took off a cycle after he started taking it, and he abstained for an extra day... only for his count to be the lowest one yet.
QOTW - DH and I met in high school. We were in rival schools but we worked together, and our boss made him ask me out (he was, and is, very shy lol and I didn't believe he liked me) we've been together ever since, 14 years!
