in Trouble TTC
Im feeling overwhelmed and was looking to talk to those who know. We've been ttc for 2 yrs with 1 ruptured ectopic. Started seeing RE and was told on Monday that DH counts and motility are low. As for myself, my estridol levels indicate DOR I'm 34! We start lupron ivf protocol in August. RE said IUI prob won't work but we are going to do a cycle with clomid this month bc I feel like I need to do something!! Any advice or knowledge on lupron and success rates?

Re: Overwhelmed
Me: 06/12 Dx w/ IR PCOS (rx 2000 metformin) DH: SA all clear; looking good
06/12-10/12- Clomid/Femara + trigger + TI + P4 = 3 BFNs, hysteroscopy, polypectomy, D&C
11/12 - 7.5 mg Femara + trigger + IUI + P4 = BFN
12/12 - Surprise BFP ectopic (MTX 01/13)
04/13 - Off the Bench! 7.5 mg Femara + trigger + IUI #2 + estradiol + P4 = BFN
05/13 Clear HSG-5 mg Femara + Menopur + trigger + IUI #3 + P4 = BFP ectopic (MTX 07/03 & 07/11)
07/23 emergency lap to remove ectopic mass and left tube
Most women on here are doing TI or IUI, you might get more responses from the Infertility board since most of those women are doing IVF. If you are looking for success stories, you might want to try Pregnant after Infertility.
That being said, I will hopefully be starting my first IVF in August. I don't know my protocol yet.
TTC #1 since August 2011
My Blog
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low progesterone, hostile CM, carrier for CF, Moderately high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA
October 2012-May 2014: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed FETw/donor embryos
November 2014: IVF w/ICSI #4 Agonist/Antagonist with EPP and Prednisone, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, and IVIG for immune issues. Converted to freeze all due to lining issues. 2 blasts frozen on day 6!
January 2015: FET #2 Cancelled due to lining issues
April 2015: FET #2.1
PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
All of this - to the letter. I too will be doing IVF in August and don't yet know my protocol. I do think you may get some better insight on the boards Twinkie mentioned, but feel free to stick around. This is a great group of supportive ladies.
Wishing you the best.
