Hi everyone! I'm sorry to have to be meeting anyone on this board, but I'm excited to find a support system to bounce info off of.
DH and I have been TTC for 20 months. We are both in our early 30s and our infertility is unexplained so far. We started seeing an RE a few months ago. After a bunch of initial tests, neither of us have any glaring issues with reproduction, the RE decided we should do superovulation with TI for 3 months before jumping to IVF.
I just finished the first month with a BFN. I kept telling myself everyday last month that it wouldn't work on the first try to avoid disappointment. The follistim shots were new and exciting. I looked forward to my ultrasounds every 3 days to check my progress. I didn't have any major side effects from the follistim because of the low dose. The goal was for my body to make 3 eggs and that's exactly what I had. The TWW was soooo long. And the AF arrived and I was upset. I went through all of those shots and ultrasounds for nothing. I'm feeling very discouraged but still trying to see the bright side of things.
I have to take BC for a week to hold off my cycle because of my RE's schedule, so I will start my next cycle of super ovulation with TI next week. Is anyone else doing Super Ovulation or done it in the past?
