TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
Options

Another intro

Ok, where to begin?

My name is Kat. Most of my info is in my siggy. We started TTC two years ago. We were successful on our second try but it ended in a miscarriage. We took the recommended 3 cycle break and then got pregnant again on our second try. Unfortunately we had another miscarriage. That was 14 months ago now. We took a longer break but have been ttc since February with no luck. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and low progesterone.

After 3 cycles of low progesterone I made an appt with my RE. I just saw him this morning. I'm not sure what I expected him to say but I'm a bit surprised that he jumped straight to IUI. I guess I thought he was just going to tell me that I was overreacting and that I needed to just keep trying on my own. Even though that would have pissed me off.

Sooo...next cycle we will give IUI a try. I have mixed emotions about it but excited to be doing something.

Well, that's my story. I hope to get to know everyone here better.

    Clomid and an hcg shot are the only two things he mentioned. If I remember correctly he said we'd try that 3 times before he'd move us on to some stronger drugs. Hopefully we won't need it. I'm still learning about this whole process. Obviously I get the basic gist of how it works but I feel like I've got a lot to learn!
