3rd Try

Hey All, I used to frequent this board a while ago as RikkiandJulie, however a lot has changed in the past two years, and now DW And I are trying to have a baby. We purchased 5 viles from NY Cryos and will have try three tomorrow. This round we are using follistim/letrazole/ovidrel/progesterone suppositories. She triggered last night at 10p and we will have an iui tomorrow at 9a.
DW doesn't typically ovulate in her own, and when she does its waaaay delayed. The first cycle it was day 26 with clomid, and the second try it was day 19 with clomid and one shot of gonal-f. This time she was ready by day 12 and she has two perfect mature follicles. Hopefully this time we can catch at least one.
No one could have mentally prepared me for the emotional heartache of TTC, I thought k was prepared, but each cycle is devastating, granted it's only been two failed attempts and that's nothing on the TTC spectrum, but it doesn't make it easier.
I sometimes fear that DW and I are chasing this dream that the universe doesn't want for us, that it'll never happen. I know that whiney and self pitying but it's true.
Hopefully I can find some support from all of you new bumpies and old.

Re: 3rd Try
Fingers crossed for you - I hope everything goes well. Just know that you aren't alone in your feelings. Everything that you both are feeling is exactly what my wife and I have been feeling too.
RE DX for me: Anovulatory cycles/Mild PCOS RE DX for DW: Endometrioma on left Ovary.
Reciprocal Ivf Feb 2016. DW eggs and I am carrying. EDD: 10/27/16
But it sounds like you've got great conditions for this IUI. I just had my 4th IUI this morning, with the best looking follies so far! My fingers are crossed for both our families!
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
Things feel really good this time. I'm trying to me a pessimist, or overly optimistic, I'm just trying to live in the moment with it all.
It's also crazy bc we won't be POAS at all due to the false negative the trigger can give, and her progesterone will cause her period to be late, so we have no real way of knowing until the BETA.
Let's hope this one takes.
08/2015 at home IUI = BFN
IUI #4 - 08/2016 - 100MG Clomid + Ovidrel = ???
