Looking for some support, or someone in a similar situation. Or if anyone has success stories they can share after IUI or infertility struggles.
I'm 30, my husband just turned 33. We decided in July 2014 to try to have a baby. Found out we were pregnant in October 2014, and miscarried at about 11 weeks. The baby's heart stopped. Found out the week of Christmas, and haf a D&C. We've been ttc our rainbow baby ever since. We started seeing a fertility specialist Oct 1st of 2015 at the recommendation of my OB. Went through all the normal testing. Sperm analysis, ultrasounds, blood tests, HSG flush, etc. They can't find anything wrong. We started clomid at 100mg in September. Added menopur in the last 2 months. This month we did 100mg clomid on days 3 through 7. Then we did 2 vials of menopur on days 3, 6, and 9. Went in for an ultrasound day 12, and there were 3 large follicles almost ready. Got an HCG trigger shot on day 13, and IUI on days 14 and 15. The nurse originally told me not to get my hopes up on the 1st try, and that each try had about a 20% success rate. But when they did the IUI, she told me she was sure I'd be pregnant because I had 3 huge follicles, and the sperm count and motility were great. I've been testing everyday for a little more than a week, so I could tell when the HCG trigger shot was out of my system. I was completely expecting that it would be negative a day and then back to positive, and we'd be pregnant. Got a BFN Monday, Tuesday, and today. I believe my period is due either Friday or Saturday. I'm starting to think we aren't getting our bfp this month, and I'm really struggling. Anyone else in the same situation, or have you been before? If anyone can give me feedback on what they went through, success stories, encouragement, wants to vent or share their story, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
