Introduction

Hi all-

I've been on and off of this board for years, but thought I'd introduce myself again. My wife and I have been together for 10 years in December, married for 6 in October. We've been TTC for about 2 years off and on (see sig). It's been a long and very trying and difficult road. I just finished IUI#6 with Gonal-f with a BFN and this month I have to take off because the meds have caused cysts on my ovaries. Next month will be IUI #7 with Follistim and if that doesn't work, we may look into IVF trials.  Our insurance covers IUI's but nothing to do with IVF and we can't afford it.  I had my first accupucture appt today and I wouldn't say it went great.  I'm not good with needles and I wasn't crazy about the practice so I am going to continue looking.  I'm also trying to get back into yoga.  Since I have a whole month off, I'm trying to make the best of it, but it was certainly a disappointing blow.  I've been reading through old posts and the FAQ's and it's good to see that others required multiple cycles too.  Thanks for the support and baby dust and love to all.

Together since 12/7/02, Married since 10/7/06, TTC #1 since 6/2010

  • Welcome...or should I saw welcome back?  You're right, there are quite a few women here who have been trying for a while (myself included) or tried for a while to get pregnant.  Good luck with your cycle off and your next IUI!

    To add line breaks to your signature, type <br> after any line where you want a line break.
