Hello!
I have been a lurker for a few months and my DH urged me to finally introduce myself. We have been TTC for a little over 2.5 years and have been seeing an RE since about the 1 year mark. We went thru all the standard testing (CD3 bloodwork, HSG, SA, etc) with all normal results. So, our official DX is unexplained infertility. I do have some occasional erratic cycles and my body decides to skip ovulating a month or two every year, but my hormone levels are normal. We have completed 6 medicated cycles (3 on Clomid, 3 on Femara). We are currently in the 2ww after our first IUI. DH's numbers were great (90 million, 90% motile). I had a giant follicle - 28mm - my largest to date. I am currently 9dpiui and they told me to test next Sunday (16dpiui), but I am sure I won't make it that long. I have been testing out the trigger and have yet to get a full negative.
Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi and Thanks. I have learned so much in my time lurking and felt much more prepared for my IUI than I would have been otherwise. You are some awesome ladies.
