Secondary IF

CD1

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

  • Wishing you the best.  It's always hard to balance 2IF and the child(ren) you already have.  Here's to hoping you get to both have a new edition and go on that family trip.

  • 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!
