Today is cd1 of what will possibly be our last "aggressive" cycle. 100mg clomid cd3 to cd7, 150iu gonal f fb poster cd9, trigger, and IUI. If this doesn't work we might do a couple more cycles with just clomid because its cheap and at least makes me ovulate stronger, but I just can't justify spending all this money on IF when we could be saving for a fun family vacation for the girls or something similar. DH really feels like we are missing out on stuff with our DDs while we focus on ttc, and I agree. So hard deciding when enough is enough though. Crossing my fingers we won't have to I guess!
Two DDs 10/08 and 08/10, no primary IF
TTC #3 since 10/2011 - dx unexplained/weak ovulation
3 BFN clomid + TI cycles, 5 BFN clomid/gonal f IUIs, 1 mmc IUI
2/19/2014 IVF #1 Unexpected low E2 (oversuppressed) -> increased to max doses = 3 or 4 follicles, converting to IUI
BFFP Saw 1 beautiful heartbeat at 6w6d, follow up u/s at 9w showed mmc. Eff this.
NTNP 5/2014-9/2014, OPKs and TI 10/2014 - 1/2015.
RPL testing all normal, AFC, AMH, and FSH all normal.
IVF 1.2 1/22/2014 natural cycle start, AFC 28, 300 gonal f/150menopur.
ER 2/3/15 14R 8M 3F w/ICSI Day 5 transfer on 2/8/15 of one "Grade A+" blast and have TWO frosties!
Re: CD1
TTC #2 since 6/2010
10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy
A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013.
DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair.
Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies.
Wishing, hoping, waiting.
We are in the same spot. We are hoping to do one more IUI this cycle (I'm on cycle day 3), and then probably a couple more cycles just with Letrozole to help me ovulate. Then we are done too, if we haven't conceived by then. I am just coming off a forced break, and found that I was so much more relaxed and happy without this ttc obsession! So at least I hope that is how I will feel if and when we come to the end of our journey without another child.
Good luck to you!
