New to 3T, being hopeful

CardsFan02 · March 2014

So here I am almost 30 years old and DH is 29, and I didn't think I would be a part of this group. DH and I have been married for over 5 years and for the past 2.5 years we have been TTC.

My last appt with OB/GYN was last year and we went through all the testing of why you weren't able to FWP naturally. Which we came to a problem of me having a uterine polyp, after the removal she put me on clomid and I've been on it now for 7 months and nothing has happened. My next step as of right now is F/U with OB/GYN and calling a IF doctor. It's just so frustrating because I put all my effort into trying to have a child and after getting AF every month makes me cry and get upset. Which it's hard to go thru it alone and DH trys as hard as he can to comfort me, but there is only so much he can do and my friends as nice as they are unfortunately are not in the same boat as myself and don't understand. I'm just hoping that it will get easier, being hopeful.

I'm so sorry you find yourself here. Have you had your CD3 and 7DPO bloodwork, TSH, Prolactin, and AMH checked? Did you do the CD3 U/S or HSG? Has your husband had a SA? If any of that testing was missed it might indicate where the issue is.

Also, during your Clomid cycles were you doing TI or IUI? And did you have monitoring including ultrasounds? If you didn't have monitoring it is possible that you didn't respond to the Clomid or it may have thinned out your lining.

I highly recommend seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist. There is a reason why there is extra training beyond OB/GYN required to become an RE. Wishing you the best of luck going forward.

All of this. I would definitely make an appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinologist! They are so much more knowledgeable than OBs when it comes to the science of reproduction.

Good luck. Definitely recommend an RE.

Welcome to our little club. As PP's have said, I'd definitely look into a RE.

Welcome. I'm sorry you have to be here. I'd also recommend not waiting any longer to see a specialist. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the welcome.

Yes, DH and I had all the blood and testing and everything came back normal.

For the Clomid, after the first round I did have blood test and that's when my OB upped my dose.

But I did not have any other testing since then and that was back September 2013.

I recently saw a RE, which he did an ultrasound and found a good egg, which he wants to see me in a couple days. Which hopefully from there I become pregnant, but I'm just going to take it one day at a time right now, because I know all of you have tried so hard if not harder to have a baby and I wish us all the best.

Best of luck and welcome!

Welcome and good luck! I'm glad you're in the hands of an RE.

So I just got a call from the RE's office and stated about insurance will pay for testing and not IVF or IUI, which I assumed before I called them myself a week ago. But they want me to take an MRI because my prolactin levels are high, should I be scared?

@atallyn‌ I had to have an MRI for elevated prolactin also. My levels were over 100. The suspicion with elevated prolactin is a benign tumor on the pituitary gland. I was very scared at first. The good news is, even if you do have it, they are very rarely cancerous, and they rarely require surgery. There are medications you can take that shrink your tumor. The good news is, it sounds like you are ovulating, so if you have one at all it is probably very small and your prolactin levels probably aren't that elevated. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Welcome and best of luck! We all share in your frustration of not getting pregnant, month after month, despite our most valiant efforts. You will fit in here well, but I hope your stay her is short! I also second the comments about seeing an RE, which is sounds like you are seeing now. If you are on IF meds, you really want to be monitored closely. Also, DH probably should get an SA just to know where his numbers are.

Welcome and GL!

Welcome! The women of this board are great support for each other. For me, nothing has helped to save my sanity more than these awesome ladies would understand.

I hope that your stay here is short and sweet. Good luck!

Well I have some great news, I'm no longer TTC I am now 7 weeks and 2 days. I'm glad my visit was short and wish all the best to the rest of you. You are all in my prayers especially yesterday being Mother's Day how hard it is for some of us to get pregnant. Good Luck Everyone.
