Intro

Hi, My name is Jen. I am 23 and my husband is 26. I've done some lurking here and finally decided to introduce myself. As you can see in my sig, we've been trying for almost 2 years now with several miscarriages. DH's SA was normal and all of my blood/hormone tests were normal. I am currently on my third cycle of clomid. Next month (if we don't get pregnant this month) I will have my HSG test and be seeing an RE for the first time. It has been tough getting to this point where I am willing to talk about what is going on with my body. I hope you all will give me the support I need and that I can give some in return.

 

Edit**

I guess the bump is slow on updating my sig so i copied and pasted it here for you.

I'm sorry for your losses. IF can be a tough road. You're in solid company and I hope that your stay here is short.

Just curious why you're taking clomid before having the HSG. My understanding is that most Dr's will have the HSG done prior to medicated cycles with the thinking that if the tubes are blocked that medicaton won't help

The Best Darn BLOG on the bump...I kid, but seriously!
Unmedicated and medicated IUI's: all fail IVF #1: Dec 2012 26r/16m/15f 12/9: 5dt of 2 beautiful blasts and 5 frosties TWINS! 3/9: 15w4d Baby A PProm 3/9-3/22: Hoping and Praying like never before. Bedrest and pure hell 3/22: Baby A cord prolapse 3/25: 2 baby boys born sleeping Currently: Doing my best to pick up the pieces and find hope.

well, i went from dr #1 who didn't really know much about if (very rural area, drs weren't very good in general) then i moved and saw dr #2 and I think he was kind of backwards in thinking he would try the least invasive method possible (i don't think he believed i was having the missed miscarriages even though they were in my records from the previous dr.) so i just switched to a different OB last week and she immediately referred me to an RE and scheduled the HSG (tenatively- only if i get my period)

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. You are, of course, more than welcome here. We've got a good group!

TTC #1 for about 3.5 years
ME: 37, PCO, immune issues?, teflon uterus (my added diagnosis)
HIM: 38, Perfect. (Showoff.)
Month before starting Clomid, spontaneous pregnancy. m/c at 7 weeks and D&C.
Four months of Clomid, one IUI, with Intralipid each cycle: BFNs all
IVF 1.0 July 2012 -- Lupron, bravelle, menopur, estrogen, progesterone supps, intralipid. 14 ER, 14 fertilized, 1 blast transferred, 2 on ice. BFN
FET 1.1 -- 10/2, transferred our 2 blasts. Lupron, PIO, estrogen, baby aspirin, prednisone. BFN.
IVF 2.0 December 2012 -- Bravelle, Menopur, Ganirelix, Prednisone, Metformin, estrogen, progesterone supps. 22 eggs retrieved on 12/14, 17 mature, 15 fertilized. OHSS anticipated so ET cancelled. 3 embryos frozen.
Broke up with old RE. Moving on to new dude. Maybe the change of scenery will be just the trick for our frosties. On BCPs for possible April FET.

P/SAIF welcome
