Hello everyone 
That was a long wait but I'm finally here. I'm very thankful to have found people who share in the same struggle that my husband and I have been battling for three years. I wanted to thank all of u for sharing ur heartfelt experiences they've definitely enlightened me as I've been having a rough time.
Just a lil background on myself im 38 dh is as well we've been struggling with infertility for three years now. So I hope I'm posting in the right place.
I've done several (3 ) rounds of clomid via gyno....it was brutal and I ddnt have any supervision.Dh has low motility 25% with a high count.
After several appointments, lots of bw and one painful ( for me ) hsg.. my issue ..per the nurse is age. Apparently I'm old and so are my eggs. I was placed on femara, and a hcg injection in preparation for my first iui i had two follicles 22.5 and 18.
After the sperm wash my Dh motility went from 25% to 95%.....count of 68 million which decreased to 52 million post wash. So I'm in the dreaded tww...and now I don't know what to do with myself. I'm so emotional and doubtful. I absolutely love the positive thoughts/advice given on these boards!! I'm nauseous on and off... and still feeling lil cramps here and there..but I keep telling myself not to think too much into it.... the hcg shot my be causing these symptoms.... idk
Thanks in advance for any and all advice, I'm down but not out I just hope the positivity from everyone here is contagious. ....I need it

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1
The TWW is the worse, specially since our minds can trick our bodies.
Try to do lots of fun stuff that give you a happy feeling.
GL on your journey!

I actually did my 4th TI cycle this month. If it doesn't work, we're on to iui. It's been a struggle to make that decision because I have responded really well to the clomid and am ovulating with it (I have PCOS) so my RE keeps saying that we *should* be able to get pregnant with TI. she even said that people in my situation aren't actually statistically more likely to get pregnant with iui as opposed to TI... But I feel like it's time to try something else. So I don't know.
All of your numbers seem really good (not that I'm an expert...I base my judgement on what I've seen others on these boards say are good, lol) so I am definitely holding out hope that this is your month!!! Keep me updated!! Are you taking progesterone supplements?
You're blessed to be doin TI. During the iui, I kept staring at the little cup with pink... yep... pink solution in it. All I could think about was that could possibly be someone else's sperm....lol...with my luck who knows.
Spoke with my Re's nurse this evening per her the initial progesterone was at a level of 16. She said that was good, but there's so many numbers for so many different tests it's hard to keep up. She also stated that I'd begin progesterone suppositories ( ughhh) if my hcg on Tuesday is climbing. I figured I'd be taking it now, but I'm trusting them to help me beat the odds. For now, thank you for giving me something to look forward to, it's your weekend. Btw, are u having any signs, that you'd consider symptoms?
I hear you about the iui--I was actually wondering the same thing and asked my re what they do to make sure they aren't mixing things up. Haha I'm pretty sure she thought I was nuts!! I take the progesterone suppositories during my TWW and honestly they are kinda gross and inconvenient but overall not too bad.
we're getting closer to your beta on Tuesday!! I'm really praying it goes well for you!! The only symptoms I have is some cramping that started yesterday but I'm trying not to read too much into it...I know there are a ton of reasons I could be cramping. To be honest I make myself crazy with symptom spotting so I try to just ignore everything. Are you having any symptoms??
I'm nauseous, indidgestion, moody, tired and have been feeling pulling cramps on each side..since the iui... that scared me, so I called my re and they said it was normal and possibly a good sign **shruggs** I think the only way to know is the beta of no sign of AF. We see... sending nothing but blessings and positive Bumpie cyber vibes your way.. I'm in need of a celebration
I'm glad your hopeful, and got a chance to get away this weekend. Being hopeful..is awesome!!! I keep begging God to let this finally be our week. One more day for you, two more for me. Nervous and hopeful too!! We're counting down...hugs
Tired of failing
Are you you doing a second round of iui?
I'm very organized to a fault.... I'm in the same boat, I just don't get it??? And I've been majorly down in the dumps this time. My husband flat out refuses to do ivf. He's not helping me (emotionally ) right now.
My mind is all over the place and to make it worse.....AF is 2 days late.....smh.....I guess it's a side effect to taking Femara.
Great sperm count, great follicles this time.....but still BFN...idk hw much more I can take.... I wanna give up, but then again......I dont... no one knows this....but I actually have a nursery in my home....clothes....toys..all in preparation for a baby that I may never be blessed with....it's really beating me up this week. I'm sorry, I wish we weren't in the same boat. Hopefully, we'll fight thru this and succeed.....it's so hard to think positive right now, but what else do we have.
I have also been having a really hard time this week--it doesn't help that two of my best friends are pregnant, and last night I spoke to one on the phone and she told me that she is "totally confused about how I'm not pregnant because they weren't even trying and didn't even want kids yet." She was trying to be supportive but it stung.
I'm not sure about the 2nd iui...bc I'm still waiting for af to arrive. Idk if the femara has prevented it's arrival or if the lab made a mistake (not with my luck
What's your next step? ?? I've heard the more iui you do the better ur chances.....shruggs...for now....I'll just read success stories and wait for more pills (to start af )and probing ..........the saga continues
