Intro...(waving hi!)

in Infertility
Hi Ladies! I am a long time lurker who finally got the courage up to join in. I think I have updated my siggy to show my history, but here's a brief run down: DH and I have been trying for about 3 years with no luck. During that time we did 3 rounds of Clomid + TI with no luck, and 2 Clomid + IUI, all BFN.  I've been labeled a poor responder as our Nov '13 IVF was converted to an IUI because of a less-than-stellar response to meds (3 dominant follicles with a couple too far behind). We discussed our new protocol with RE in January and will begin IVF #2 next week at the start of AF :)

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you! There is no one in the world who can understand the pain of infertility unless you have lived it.
**All welcome**

TTC since November 2010
Me: (28) slightly high FSH (9), slightly low AMH (1.7), average AFC, DH: (33) all tests normal
HSG & 3 TI Clomid cycles with OB/GYN April - August 2012 - all BFN
November 2012 met with RE
November 2012 Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN
December 2012 Clomid + Trigger + IUI = BFN
January 2013: Benched for cysts
April 2013: Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy = mild endo and 2 polyps removed
May 2013 = First +OPK ever! Glimmer of hope!
November 2013: 1st IVF: gonal f/ganirelix: converted to IUI on CD 7 due to poor response (3 large follicles with several trailing behind). IUI #3 = BFN
January 2014: WTF Appointment: "stubborn ovaries" will need new med protocol: flare gonal f, add menopur and lupron
IVF #2: Stims start 2/19 - MDL flare protocol with Gonal & Menopur; Triggered 2/28, e2 6000, ER March 2: 34 R, 20M, 9 fert, 4 2PN's frozen. No blasts made to freeze :(
FET #1 June 7th - 2dt, Transferred 2... BFN
WTF revealed very poor quality - looking to do another fresh cycle
August 2014: 2 polyps removed, revealed thru HSG
Updated labs: FSH 6.5 and AMH 4
October 2014: IVF #3: Stims started 10/14 - Cancelled due to premature luteinization
November 2014: IVF attempt #4: Rising progesterone levels again - trigger given early; ended up with 6 2PN embryos all frozen.

    Welcome! If you'd like to join other ladies who are cycling at the same time as you, you could check out the Hopeful Hearts or Shimmering Shamrock check-ins (whichever makes more sense based on your dates). Helps to have a bunch of ladies cheering you on as you go through.

    Good luck!!!
