Infertility

intro

 

  hi ladies :)

i mostly hang out on ttcal, but have randomly posted here and lurked in the past so wanted to intro myself. also just posted this on 3t - not sure which is a better fit for me so here goes....my husband and i have been married for over 6 years and been together for over 11. i always had wonky cycles on bcp so as soon as we tied the knot, i stopped taking them. we just "let it happen" for the first few years. although in the back of my mind i thought it was weird that we hadn't gotten ku, we had just graduated college, bought our first house...all the other firsts so i was busy and thought we had plenty of time.after a while we started really trying. counting days, buying opks, talking to my obgyn (who now i look back at and want to smack!). as the months turned into years we kept the fact that we were trying to a very small group but all i heard was "don't stress about it" and "oh it will happen" ....barf. anyway, dh turned 30 last year, i will this year and that was the mark for me. we went and saw an RE. i do blame myself for not going sooner. i guess it was the fear of admitting something may be wrong. we are now diagnosed with the ever so frustrating unexplained if. the only thing that came back abnormal with either of us is my ovarian reserve. our RE says its not good, we need to be aggressive and if we want more than one we need to act quickly....really?? i'm so frustrated as i'm sure you all can relate.our only pregnancy was when our iui was cancelled for overstim and they said we could try tic instead for that cycle. that was a loss due to sch.sept will be the fourth ttcal cycle and we plan on iui. so that's my story...thank you for reading. i hope to be a helpful part of this board as well  :)

  • Welcome to the board!  Sorry for your loss.  I am in a very similar situation - unexplained IF, with poor ovarian reserve.  It's frustrating to be so young and be told basically "It's now or never".   Best of luck to you!
