Look for advice/support

in Success after IF

Back story:  I have a2.5 year old ds.  We conceived him within two months of going off birth control.  We started trying when he was 10months for another. 

We still have had no success. I have seen a fertility doctor and the only thing he can find wrong is a short luteal phase.  I have been treating this with crinone gel (progesterone) for months now.  He then determined that my thyroid is low functioning so now I'm on synthroid for the second month in and so far no luck.  Thursday is my test date but I already have  red tinged cm from the crinone so I assume it'll be a bust.

I will gladly take any advice anyone can handout or even a success story.

    I am also unexplained with some LP issues thrown in. We finally had success when TTC#1 with our second round of IVF. We also were successful with our first FET attempt and now have twin daughters from that cycle. GL!

    I'm assuming your husband has had a sperm analysis and that's everything checked out okay.  I would ask about doing an IUI with oral meds.  I know how frustrating it is, our second was our hardest to conceive.  Hugs.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    I'm so sorry you are on this difficult road. The OB/GYN that did my initial IF testing diagnosed me with LPD due to a low p4 level on 7dpo. However, my RE didn't subscribe to LPDs since they could be controlled with supplemental progesterone and re-diagnosed me with "unexplained IF." It's such a rough diagnosis. 

    With an unexplained diagnosis, my RE practice typically does (in this order): timed intercourse cycles with oral meds, IUIs with oral meds, IUIs with injectables, IVF. Typically, they liked to do three IUIs before moving to IVF. My boys are the result of my second full IVF cycle.

    TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF
    Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
    12dp5dt: 765; 15dp5dt: 1979; 17dp5dt: 3379...TWINS!!!!!
    Our perfect baby boys were born at 36w1d!!

    I've been pretty upbeat but it is starting to get me down.  I don't feel that we can afford IVF in any way so the prospect of another baby happening slips away with every cycle.  I know very little about any other treatment...anyone want to give me details on the other methods?  Please:)

    Before moving to IVF we did two cycles of Clomid (an oral medication) and timed intercourse and three cycles of Gonal F (an injectable medication) and IUI. These are great options for you if you are unexplained.
