Here we go again... lucky#4?

CaraHCaraH member
in TTC after 35
We're scheduled for IUI #4 tomorrow, cycle day 12.  I have two big follicles (20 and 25, my biggest to date) on cycle day 10.  I want to be excited, but since three big follicles and good SA results last cycle still resulted in a BFN I'm having a little trouble getting there... I keep typing things and then deleting them.  I guess there really isn't much more I feel like saying.  But, I keep reminding myself that it was just December when I had a canceled cycle due to cysts that sent me in to my first real crying jag after 2 years of ttc.  And that was the month we got pregnant naturally, albeit in the end unsuccessfully.

Oh, and because someone will ask (and with good reason) - they tested my E2 to make sure I hadn't ovulated yet.  My estrogen looked great and my progesterone had not started to rise yet.

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Thanks, everybody. This really is the best board. Things went smoothly Thursday and my husband had his best numbers yet. I'm also going to modify my exercise and take it easy for the next two weeks. (The rational part of me knows moderate exercise doesn't make a difference, but at this point I want to conserve my energy for baby growing.). So, now we wait.

    Okay, today's progesterone check looked good (22). So, one more week to keep my cool. And remind myself my 'second half of cycle' symptoms always look a lot like pregnancy symptoms.
