Hi. New to The Bump but not to TTC. My DP is 33 and I am 31(32 in a few weeks) yes old. We have been actively trying to get pregnant for 3 years now. The first year after BC was just trying or NPP. The second year was closely monitoring CM, O, and using OPKs. Third year, my partner and I were diagnosed with infertility and referred to a RE. My partner has a low sperm count, motality and morphology issues. End of April we were approved and cleared for our first IUI. AF appeared April 23rd. April 25th I had my first baseline US and instructed to start Clomid 100mg Day 3 (thru 7). May 3rd, I had my second US and there are four mature follicles! We were instructed to do the trigger shot (Olvidrel) that night at 10pm. Now we wait until Thursday for our IUI. DP goes in at 8am for deposit & wash. I go in at 11. Very excited and nervous. Three years and finally! Hopeful but I know we may have to do several IUIs. Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself and share my story.
