hi everyone!
i've been posting on the ttcal board. But here I am, about to start my first IUI cycle if this natural cycle doesn't pan out. I've had 2 losses in the past 3 months, 5 & 4.5 weeks. I have ever so slightly hypothyroidism and low progesterone. I'm currently on progesterone after taking Ovidrel this week to trigger this past Monday. I'm not optimistic. So I'm hoping to learn a lot about IUI and IVF here, my RE says I have to do 3 IUI cycles before we begin IVF. I'm such a newb to this its ridiculous so if I sound ignorant it's because I am!
Anyway, I hope you are all ok if I "sit here" too. Thanks.
