I'm new to secondary infertility

[cluckerduckie]

Hi everyone.

I'm kinda in the slumps right now. Never thought that I'd have fertility problems but here I am two years into ttc, after my second son, and still counting time.
I am generally healthy. I'm very active, eat the right foods, try to cut back on stress, and I don't drink alcohol.
I don't smoke either.
I've recently been diagnosed with secondary infertility as blood work came back absolutely normal, yet I don't have normal periods for the life of me.
My last one was 42 days long and now at 25 days with a 10 day LP.
I have a hsg scheduled for October. Specialist thinks I have very thin to none uterine lining and told me to take mononessa for 4 months.
I don't like birth control. Please tell me that there's a different alternative to thicken my lining! I've already started taking red clover.
I'm done with hormones. Lol
Thanks.

Hey there. So sorry about your struggles. I am new to SI as well, although it already seems like it has been a long journey. I have a 3.5 year old daughter and have suffered two losses trying to conceive another.

I have done blood screening (recurrent miscarriage, thyroid and prolactin), all normal. Have had ultrasounds, and an HSG (still waiting on results, but preliminarily normal). DH had his sperm tested (low morph but otherwise good). But my doc has said I do have a thin lining, and put me on progesterone suppositories and estrogen patches during my luteal phase. I didn't realize you could use birth control to thicken lining (although I wouldn't want to do that either!)

Would be happy to have a buddy in this journey. I am 12dpo today and have had nothing but BFNs this cycle, so feeling pretty down and out.

Hi cluckerduckie I'm pretty new myself.
I remember feeling really down 2-3 months ago when we were first diagnosed. I'm trying my best to stay positive but it is so hard!!
TTC our second since November. We only did testing because dh had surgery and a lot of medications this year and I we suspected we might have MF. Sa came back and we do have MF. We're finally starting our first iui this cycle. I'm cd3 and had my scan today and started Letrozole.
I'm happy that we have a diagnoses so that we know exactly what we are dealing with.
This TTC thing is pretty stressful and really taking a toll on me.
