Intro and Well Wishes!

in Trouble TTC
Hi ladies (and any guys),
Allow me to introduce myself after following some of your posts over the last few weeks:
I'm 33, my husband is 34. We've been trying to conceive naturally, with some assistance from acupuncture on and off for the past three years, really. During my journey, we've taken plenty of self-imposed breaks in there, so I'd say a solid two years, anyway. This past February, we started to move into what I consider a more assertive phase of TTC which has included some testing and help from "Western" medicine:
Unexplained Infertility? (so far)
-- HSG: clear
-- Sperm: good count, motility, morphology
-- Vaginal ultrasounds: normal in terms of ovaries and uterus, I guess, or at least nothing indicating a cause for concern.
-- Periods/Ovulation: Seem to be OK (get the mucus and the LH surge around mid-cycle, stopped temp charting)
-- Hormone levels screened on both of us: good
-- Tried my first IUI (unmedicated) in May - BFN
This cycle I moved on to Clomid (my last ultrasound indicated that my follicles were on the low-end of normal for my age, so trying to give them a boost). I did my trigger shot Sunday night and had my second IUI just today, so I'm trying to think positively. As many of you know, that's easier said than done sometimes. I've been pretty emotional and frustrated lately and feel pretty isolated in this process (besides talking with my husband). We haven't told anyone else we're trying. I'm hoping this board will be a great outlet and resource and hoping I can be the same for all of you!
Best of luck to all this cycle!
Tried for two years, finally a BFP!
