Hi everyone, I haven't been on the TTC boards much recently b/c it was just too much for me to deal with. I had posted on TTTC for awhile, but stopped awhile back.
A brief summary - I have a 3 year old son who was conceived really easily, so I expected it to be easy the next time around. We started trying in January 2010 and this is our 22nd cycle of trying. After about 8 months of trying, I saw an RE because of my short cycles with LP spotting. She put me on progesterone supplements, but they didnt help. 3 months later, we tried a clomid cycle and we didn't conceive and I still had the spotting problems. We did 3 clomid IUIs with no success, and then I switched REs to get a second opinion. We still don't have a diagnosis. DH's sperm count is fine and everything checks out okay on me, though my DHEAS level was slightly elevated (which was discovered by the new RE). He put me on prednisone to get that under control a couple of months ago, and we did Femara + Menopur + Ovidrel and IUI this cycle, and I'm using Crinone as well.
I had an IUI (my 4th) on 8/14 and I got a BFP today at 11dpiui. I'm nervous to post about it because it's SO early, but I want to hope for the best. I had my 1st beta this morning and I'm waiting to get the results.
I hope that I am welcome here and I hope to stick around through May! ![]()
