Infertility

Intro

Hi, My name is Jen. I am 23 and my husband is 26. I've done some lurking here and finally decided to introduce myself. As you can see in my sig, we've been trying for almost 2 years now with several miscarriages. DH's SA was normal and all of my blood/hormone tests were normal. I am currently on my third cycle of clomid. Next month (if we don't get pregnant this month) I will have my HSG test and be seeing an RE for the first time. It has been tough getting to this point where I am willing to talk about what is going on with my body. I hope you all will give me the support I need and that I can give some in return.

 

Edit**

I guess the bump is slow on updating my sig so i copied and pasted it here for you.

  • I'm sorry for your losses. IF can be a tough road. You're in solid company and I hope that your stay here is short.

    Just curious why you're taking clomid before having the HSG. My understanding is that most Dr's will have the HSG done prior to medicated cycles with the thinking that if the tubes are blocked that medicaton won't help

    Unmedicated and medicated IUI's: all fail
    IVF #1: Dec 2012 16m/15f 12/9: 5dt of 2 beautiful blasts and 5 frosties
    TWINS!
    15w4d:baby a-pProm
    March 25: 18w...2 baby boys born sleeping
    July 29: FET-BFN

    Sept: TAC placed

    Oct 27: FET #2-Cancelled-monster cyst producing insane amounts of estrogen

    Nov 13: FET #2-take 2

  • well, i went from dr #1 who didn't really know much about if (very rural area, drs weren't very good in general) then i moved and saw dr #2 and I think he was kind of backwards in thinking he would try the least invasive method possible (i don't think he believed i was having the missed miscarriages even though they were in my records from the previous dr.) so i just switched to a different OB last week and she immediately referred me to an RE and scheduled the HSG (tenatively- only if i get my period)
