Taking the next step

Today's BFN has convinced me that this is not my cycle.  I made an appointment to go back to the OB on June 14th so that she can send me to the RE.  I am really nervous.

    I think you'll feel a lot better once you talk to an RE. I felt such relief once I  got the testing started and had a plan. It's given me a lot of hope.

     Good luck, and keep us posted.

     

    Me = 38, Husband = 31. TTC since 1/10. M/C at 8 wks 5/10. Started trying again 9/10. All tests normal: AMH/MIS, FSH, HSG, SA. Estradoil high. 6/20/11 - Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI#1=BFN. 7/17/11 - Clomid+IUI#2=BFN. 2 natural cycles = BFN. 10/6/11 - Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI#3=BFN. 10/31/11 - Clomid+Ovidrel+IUI#4 = BFN. 11/26/11 - Follistim+Ovidrel+IUI#5 = BFN.

    You will feel a lot better. At least you will know what you are working with, and have a plan put in place. I had one "lost" year of ttc with having no idea what was going on in terms of fsh, and hypothyroidism (unbeknownst to me). Now at least I have an idea what is happening and the pace of treatment that I will need.

    BTW, acupuncture has really helped me with the stress of this, and the RE yesterday was happy that I was seeing the acupuncturist as well. Plus, it helps me feel like I am doing something, and not just sitting in this abyss.  

    You will get it all worked out over a few months time...

    I am really afraid of needles.  I don't know if I would do well with the acupuncturist.  I am adding fertility massages to my regime.  My fsh and thyrod levels came back OK.  I think that my biggest fear is that they will come back and say that there is nothing that can be done.  It has taken me almost 12 years to be healthy enough to try.  I jokingly told DH maybe we should just forget the whole thing and buy a beach house.
