Trouble TTC

Intro

Good Morning!  I have been a lurker for some time now so I thought I should introduce myself.  We have been been trying for just over a year but never prevented since we were married over 3 years ago.  We started seeing our RE last month and have been going through the normal testing.  All looks good with me so far but it looks like DH has some sperm issues  I just received DH's post wash count and it wasn't great- 3 mil with 30 % motility which from my research is not great.  We will be traveling in August so will be moving forward with IUI #1 in September.

I look forward to getting to know you ladies but hope we all have a short stay. 

Married 04.11

Me & DH: 29

DX: MFI- Low Morph &  Motility

IUI #1- Sept 14- 25mg Clomid, Trigger, 2 follies, 2.2 mil motile sperm- BFN

Due to possibility of losing insurance coverage moving to IVF #1- November

  • Welcome! CD1 one sucks. But by CD2 or 3 I usually start getting hopeful about the next cycle.  Does that happen to you?
    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! 
  • Radiantly said:

    YES! I am already feeling better and more hopeful.  I had a good cry this morning but decided it is too early in this process to feel completly helpless- heck, I haven't even spoke with the RE regarding our plan, and I know there are options and success stories for others in our situation.  I just feel there is no other option but to be hopeful.
