3rd IUI cycle. Unexplained infertility. I’m going to go crazy! 😫

Andreína

1st clomid <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> Cycle Dec 2017. AF showed up two days early heavy and strong right on Christmas Day...

Ready for cycle #2, I went in for a blood test. Later that day, the nurse called and said “Your test came back positive but your HCG level is at 9 and your period was most likely implantation bleeding, this pregnancy will most likely be a chemical one, call us when you get your next period”

Waited... January was a lost month. I KNEW that was my period on Dec. 25th! Implantation bleeding? Yeah right! Lady, I know my body!

Cycle #2 also clomid - FAILED

Third cycle in March. Letrozole - Nurse decides to tell me NOW that my lining has been “too thin” these last two cycles and thats why they are switching my prescription to letrozole... ahhh ok?

7dpiui - Saw some implantation bleeding. Ahm yay! Still skeptical 🤨 14dpiui went in for a blood test. Nurse called me later that day to tell me it was positive BUT my HCG levels were at 4.94! And it was just a matter of time before I miscarried again... I never thought I would feel sad after hearing I had a positive test...

They asked me to go in two days later (today) for another blood test. There is still no sign of AF and I am two days late now... Have no idea why Mother Nature is doing this to me? Has anyone ever had such low HCG levels? I am feeling really heartbroken not sure how much more of this one can take...

Sorry about the long post.. I just needed to vent 😫

Please share your stories with me weather they were a success or not.

First <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> consult scheduled for tomorrow... Not sure what to ask...

Have you or anyone you know go through something like this? Why is my HCG so low and still no signs of AF? 😭😭😭😭

Had my first IUI Monday 3/19. To thicken my lining, my doc had me insert .5mg Estradiol (estrogen) vaginally twice a day 3/14 to 3/17. Thickness was 4mm 3/12 and 8mm 3/15. Did trigger shot of Ovidrel night of 3/17. Hopefully it was enough. Sorry for your disappointment. Hang in there. It will happen!

Hey love, your story is so frustrating/ heartbreaking. Are you with an RE?Are they giving you progesterone post IUI? Your provider should really be trying to trouble shoot this with you! What have they said? Also maybe google uterine lining thickening, there’s some supplements and food suggestions. Let us know how the IVF consult goes.

Yeah we do have an RE, he suspects my body is rejecting it because of chromosomal abnormalities... No post progesterone.. IVF consult went great, tons of information and a little overwhelming but we are ready to go down this road and do whatever it takes! I hope this is it 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I feel your pain. I start my 3rd iui cycle tomorrow. I’ve been on gonal-f 75ius with trigger. I’ve been responding well but not well enough to get pregnant. They are upping my dosage and hopefully that does the trick, if not we are heading down the ivf road.
