hi everyone! i've been posting on the ttcal board. But here I am, about to start my first IUI cycle if this natural cycle doesn't pan out. I've had 2 losses in the past 3 months, 5 & 4.5 weeks. I have ever so slightly hypothyroidism and low progesterone. I'm currently on progesterone after taking Ovidrel this week to trigger this past Monday. I'm not optimistic. So I'm hoping to learn a lot about IUI and IVF here, my RE says I have to do 3 IUI cycles before we begin IVF. I'm such a newb to this its ridiculous so if I sound ignorant it's because I am! Anyway, I hope you are all ok if I "sit here" too. Thanks.

Welcome! I'm a newbie too, but after switching RE's and finally getting a diagnosis my new RE suggested going straight to IVF. I'm sorry you find yourself here, but hope you find the comfort, support, and answers you're looking for. Best of luck on your journey!

@rainbowwishes5...im sorry for your losses. Because of my different IF issues i cant relate to the IUI method but as someone who is struggling in ttc. Through IVF i can relate to the anxiety and stress of it all. I wish you achieve a successful pregnancy!
@rainbowwishes5 I'm so sorry about your losses. I too am a total new to this so don't worry, we will be clueless together to begin with. Good luck with your last natural cycle, I'm half way through mine too.
