Trouble TTC

Here I am... Again

We've been TTC 4 years now, we were seeing an RE in 2012 but after we bought a house I threw myself into the renovations and thought I'd "relax myself pregnant". Didn't work. We did 5 months monitored clomid last year, ovulated but couldn't seem to get KTFU. We had an RE consult last month and he was pushing us to IVF a step I'm not sure we are ready for yet. I'm having another HSG on the 26th and DH is doing another SA Monday. So right now we are trying to try to decide what to do


Me: 34 Mild Thin PCOS DH: 36

5 Clomid & TI= BFFN

IUI-IVF coming Soon...

  • Welcome. A couple days ago I asked DH, would you rather spend the money on house redecorating or IVF? We both laughingly agreed that at least we could guarantee results if we did the house! :D

    I hope test results show that meds and IUI could give you reasonable chances of succes!!

  • Hi and welcome back! Although I'm sorry you have to be here. DH and I are also on year #4. I hope all of your test come back great and you get a protocol that works for you and your DH. f you feel pressured to move onto IVF and you're not ready, see if you can get a 2nd opinion.

  • Hi and welcome!! So sorry that you find yourself here. Sounds like you have a good plan in place with doing some retests. I'd consider asking about doing IUI's or another option before moving onto IVF if you're not ready for that yet. Hope that you HSG goes smoothly and YH's SA comes back good. 
  • Sorry you still find yourself here! Hopefully the new round of tests go well. I agree with PP who said there are many options between Clomid/TI and IVF, so hopefully one of those is a viable option if you don't find yourself ready to take the plunge. Best of luck!!!
