Hi. New and nervous here…(babies and pregnancy mentioned.)

mugolik · January 2015

HI all,

I have read a few boards in the past but never really jumped in and participated. I have recently been having an extra difficult time dealing with others happiness and have decided talking to other who understand may be helpful. Not really sure about all the rules and abbreviations but I am willing to give it a shot if you will have me.

About me:

HI

I am Michele. I am 32. My DH is 31. We have been together 10 years, married 3 and TTC 2 years 10 months and 4 days ( jk about the days. trying to keep it light). We suffered a mc at 12 weeks in November 2013 and recently had a chemical pregnancy this past September. We have been passed around to too many "specialists" all of whom didn't really seem to care with every test coming up "inconclusive" and have finally found an amazing doctor who has repeated and completed more in 5 months than any of them had done in 2 years. I just had two myomectomys, one in November and another December 30th to remove a fibroid that may or may not have been a factor in my unexplained Infertility. I apparently have difficult anatomy to maneuver making the first time not a complete success.

I have had many highs and lows of feeling hopeful and feeling frustrated and feeling like it's not meant to be. suffered the jealousy and bitterness of what seems everyone else having what I want and that desperate feeling of being alone and having no one who understands. After my mc I found relief in talking to and realizing so many of my friends who had experienced the same thing. Since then they are all either pregnant or have had babies so once again I feel alone and ashamed and embarrassed for my lack of happiness for them. So that is why I am here I guess, to help me through the lows and hopefully help others who are going through something I already have.

I have my post op a week from monday where we are going to discuss prescribing something for me and insemination? My research has led me to think this is Clomid and IUI…does anyone have any success stories about this or details about the journey? Any tips or tricks I should know?

THank you for listening. Hope I didn't go on too long. I am feeling more hopeful already.

Hi and welcome! Sorry that you find yourself here and so sorry for your losses. Glad to hear that you have found a doctor that you like and your surgeries went well. No tips and tricks to offer as I'm just starting my IUI journey as well. There are other drugs besides Clomid that can be offered as my RE will be using a low dose of Letrozole. Besides the fibroids do you are DH have a diagnosis now or are you still listed as "unexplained"?

There may not be as many success stories here, but the "Success after IF" or "Pregnant after IF" boards may help with that aspect. This board is a great place to gain knowledge and you may want to read through the IUI check and Newbie post in to see what other ladies are doing/have experienced.

Thank you all for welcoming me and of course I apologize for the success remark. That really was stupid of me. I will certainly spend some more time "lurking" and figuring out how this whole thing works. @remylove1011 thank you for your suggestions and to answer your question we are still listed as unexplained. I'm not sure a test exists that I haven't gone through at least three times. But nothing has produced anything conclusive.@iputketchuponketchup I look forward to joining your check in as well. I currently am not sure what cycle day i'm on as I have been on Lupron for the last two months. But like I said as soon as I figure things out I'll be there. I guess the first thing I should do is figure out how to do a signature!

thanks & luck to everyone

I am sorry for your losses and your difficult journey. I also had a myomectomy last month. My RE feels there was one particular fibroid (6 were removed) that likely played a roll in my miscarriage and subsequent fertility struggles. I hope you are recovering well. Welcome.

Welcome, I'm so sorry for your losses and the frustrations of dealing with medical "professionals". I hope your post op appointment goes well. I have no advice to help but just wanted to wish you good luck.

Welcome! Wishing you all the best.

Welcome! I am sorry for your losses.

It's great you have an RE who is taking good care of you! Clomid or Femara + IUI is a pretty typical first line of defense. Hopefully the fibroids were all that were standing in the way and it will be smooth sailing now!

Sorry for the losses and such a long rough road of TTC. PP covered everything. But I wanted to say good luck and hope your stay is short and sweet!

Welcome and good luck to you. I started seeing an RE and had a fibroid removed in late 2014. He attacked it with the same sense of timing as yours. In three weeks, he was able to find, confirm and remove something I had been living with for 20 years. I am now doing IUI (Femara 2.5 D 3-7 & Ovidrel) I think I have an idea of what you are going through and look forward to sharing our stories and hearing your progress.

I am overwhelmed by all of the warm welcomes and support. I am so happy I decided to join this group and relieved to hear so many people are so willing to be open about what they are going through. I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you all as well. Thank you and luck to everyone
