Hello - I'm new here and I'm looking for some positive stories and words of support to help me through this very difficult process.
I have been with my hubby for 10 yrs and married for nearly 7 of those. We decided to TTC #1 7yrs ago and found that I had PCOS. I have a gorgeous step-daughter (13yrs).
Me: 29 Hubby: 34
We've tried 9 courses of Clomid 2 mths at 50 mg and 7 at 100 mg - ovulated 5 times. I was told that I was definately not ovulating naturally as my cycles are never at 28-30 days. (usual cycle is 6-8 wks). Day 21 progestrone always came back at <2. I saw a different specialist at a later date who suggested that I have my progesterone checked on Day 21 and every 7 days until AF comes. - In 3 consecutive cycles on day 35 my progesterone was recorded at >50 ! Proved natural ovulation !
I have ovarian drilling in Nov 2007 and subsequent few cycles failed.
We decided to take a break due to other stressful situations in our life.
Decided to try again Dec 2009, seen GP for NHS referral in May 2010 and had first appt on 4th Nov 2010. Advised to proceed with IUI with gonal f injectables, Suprecur and Ovidrel-trigger shot. Hubby had to have a sperm swim up test and I had to have my FSH and LH check - mine within normal limits and hubby at only 45% motility.
Cycle came earlier than expeced on 2nd Jan 2011 (at only 27 days - first time in 7 yrs - took that as a really good sign) so was able to start Suprecur on 3rd and gonal f on 4th. First scan revealed I had a 2.6 cm cyst in the left ovary but Dr happy to proceed. We had 2 follies at 19 mm and 1 at 15 mm. IUI was on 17th Jan making today, 10dpiui.
I feel extremely depressed as my bloatedness, sore bbs and just a very strange feeling has all gone this morning leaving only period pains. I can't stop crying today so I took a test lunch time (BFN!) to that I had a proper reason for feeling so low. I know this was early as I'm supposed to wait until Mon but I know this is over this cycle for us.
I'm just so desperate for it to work - I just want one little baby. Is that really too much to ask for ???
