Hi, This is Gunjan. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant, for 2 years now. I just turned 32. We have now started going to a fertility clinic. They did all the usual ultrasounds, tests, salients infusion sonohysterogram etc. and did not notice and abnormality. They recommended that we try <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> as that may work better for us, since we’ve not been able to conceive naturally, as yet.

We’ve tried to do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> for two cycles now but not been able to. In the first cycle, my ovulation was missed because I supposedly responded to medications (Clomid) quicker than the usual.

In the second cycle, because of the fertility meds, there was a cyst which grew and they couldn’t see the mature egg so they recommend intercourse but no <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>. I just took the urine pregnancy test and it was negative :(

So now we will attempt <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> a third cycle with hormonal injections (Menopur) this time, so they have more control over the hormones. Hoping the cyst is gone by now and we can go ahead with actual <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> this time.

It’s so difficult going though this whole procedure, going through ultrasounds and blood tests 3-4 times a month, and then getting hopeful only to be disappointed. The issue is that they don’t even think there is any obvious reason. They said it was just bad coincidence that they couldn’t go ahead with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> in two consecutive cycles.

Hoping that this time they can do it and that it works. It’s difficult to manage life and work and try to lead it normally when this is going on, on the side! And my work is quite stressful even without the additional worries and mood swings because of the hormones and treatment.

This is the first time I am posting but I could do with some friends who are going through something similar, to help me remain calm, sane and hopeful.

I am a Scientist which makes it more difficult as I try to research into everything and every time the doctors say something, I read up about it, which mostly just adds to the stress.

Please get in touch if you are going through something similar and need a buddy! :)
