  Welcome to the board.

  ...but I'm confused. You put a warning in your title and then didn't mention anything about a LO or a loss. Can you give us a little more info about where you are in your TTC journey?

  Oh my! I have NO idea what happened to the rest of my post! That is strange! To be honest it was very detailed and lengthy! Is there a maximum? Ha! Let me try again.....(and clear up the confusion) So my story is when I was 22 (on my birthday to be exact) I gave birth to a beautiful boy! ( unexpected, unplanned, but definitely loved and wanted!). I was a single parent for many years. Fast forward 9 years, but met my best friend, have a terribly romantic relationship and we started our 'happily ever after ' in November 2010. We immediately started TTC. After one year finally got our BFP! Yay! Well I was able to experience pregnancy for about 3 weeks before finding out it was an ectopic pregnancy and required termination through medication, benched for 4 months. (That was a horrible experience due to timing being Christmas, way too many hours spent in the ER retelling the same story's...but that is a whole other story). We actively TTC for 2 years, but needed to take a break (ovulation testing, temp tracking, acupuncture, naturopath, monitoring follow up with obgyn etc etc etc). It was consuming me and my sanity needs a break. I actually needed to get a new cell phone and lost my fertility app and monitoring for about 3+ years. Could have been the best thing for me! This past summer we decided we needed to seriously look at our next steps. We both turned 37 this fall, have a 15 year old at home and definitely know we want to expand our family. We went to a RE in August, all the diagnostic testing. In September we were told we are both fine! Idiopathic infertility I believe is what he said. My DH was happy. I, however felt frustrated by still no answers. We agreed to try 3 rounds of IUI and then will expore adoption. After waiting so long, we figured just get this started. So I did 5 days ferma, oct 2 had ovidrel shot, and Oct 3 did IUI #1. (DH birthday!!). DH post wash counts were apparently great, 94 million, with 85 mortality rate. I had 2 follicles, 22/17. Confirmed that I did in fact ovulate, and have proceeded with progesterone twice daily. Now in 2WW hell! Go for beta on Friday. You think after waiting 4 years, what's 3 days?! Sigh...it's a lot I am also waiting on my AMH results. That's my story. Thanks so much for listening. I hope to find a nice place in this group. Sorry again for the error in the original post
