Intro - Hello There

in TTC after 35
I'm new to the board.  I'm 40 and have never been pregnant.  We tried the 1st IUI last year with OB/GYN and are going to do a 2nd IUI this month with RE.  Just trying to stay positive and hopeful.  
Me: 40 DH: 45
TTC since roughly Aug 2014
DX: unexplained - never been pregnant
Fibroids (4), but they don't appear to be causing any issue
HSG 2016 = all clear
Feb 2017 IUI + clomid and trigger shot = BFN
AMH 2018 = 0.8
Semenanalysis 2018 = easier just to say it's adequate
March 2018 IUI + Femara 2.5mg x 10, 10,000 unit Pregnyl trigger, Progesterone suppositories 200mg nightly = BFN

Supplements/Vitamins I'm taking daily:
  • Prenatal
  • DHEA 75 mg
  • Probiotic 25 Billion CFU
  • Vitamin D3 5000 IU
  • Vitamin E 400 IU
  • Vitamin C 1000 mg
  • Biotin 5000 mcg
  • Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg
  • CoQ10 400 mg

    @MsFixit Hey! And welcome! Unfortunately we never did IUIs because we went straight to IVF, so no advice here on that. You should come on over to our weekly threads! We have a great group a ladies and we’re all here to help and for support! Hopefully your stay here is short.

    Thank you all for the kind welcome!  Trigger shot on 3/19 after US showed a 17mm on right and 19mm on left.  We did the IUI on 3/20.  DH sperm sample looked pretty good (104 million), taking Progesterone nightly during the 2WW, so I'm hopeful this will work.

    @MsFixit welcome and I hope your IUI goes well! We did a couple of those but unfortunately for us we needed IVF (but then I’ve been 42 and 43 for those cycles). This is an awesome and supportive group!

    @MsFixit welcome.  FX that IUI worked.  I’m fairly new to this group.  I just had my US yesterday and IUI is scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I have done several rounds of IUI first with femara and then we added gonal f to the mix and I got pregnant but unfortunately *****TW***** it ended in a loss.  However we learned that it had two sets of chromosomes from DH and one from me so We decided to keep trying and are still doing IUI with both meds. Hopefully you won’t need too many rounds of IUI
