I am 36 and DH is 32. We have been TTC for over 2 years now with no luck. About a year with nothing I bought Ovulation strips off ebay and went 3 mths with no postive. Decided to talk to my Dr because I knew something else had to be wrong. My right ovary and tube was removed when I was 16. I had a UFE to remove fibroids in 2011. She run all the blood work to see what could be wrong. Progesterone test said I wasn't ovulating, so she had me do the clomid challenge. Because I had the UFE and my age she wanted me to talk a RE. Started the RE November of last year and because it was so close to the end of the year husband and I decided to wait till January to do all the test. HSG showed my left tube is open with no problems. He did find more fibroids or polyps and wanted to do a hysterscopy to try to remove them. He found them to be polyps and was able to remove them and said my uterus was heart shaped so he cleaned that up. After all was healed he started me on 5mg of Femara cycle days 3-7 and a Noveral trigger shot if my follicles were mature with timed intercourse. Tried this for 3 cycles but the 2nd cycle was a bust because my period started back. For the 4th and 5th cycle he upped the Femara to 7.5mg and noveral trigger shot. All the cycles my follicles responded great. Even had a follicle on the right side which surprised me but he said there must be a remnite of the ovary to produce the follicle. But still no luck. Had first IUI in August but wasn't successful so on to IUI number 2 Sunday or Monday. Good luck to those still waiting on BFPs and waiting to start a new cycle
