This is our first round (after 2 miscarriages ☹️) and I am going crazy waiting....I gave in today and ended up with a negative hCG strip, which I know is probably normal since it's still so early, but I am so anxious!!! Anyone else in the same boat as me!? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Everyone! This is my first post on reddit eek! Long story short, we have been TTC for over a year now, 2 miscarriages (one at 10 weeks that I passed on NYE sigh... and another chemical this April), all fertility tests came back normal-ish with the exception of adenomyosis which they are concerned about and low antral follicle count for my age of 37 , count was 8 and low AMH of 1.79....clock is ticking over here...
We were advised to start with IUI for 2-3 cycles before going to IVF as retrieval will be hard and I am already low AFC.
We just did our first round of IUI last Saturday (August 8th), and I am losing my mind waiting for the bloodwork in two weeks!
My husband's sperm count is insanely high LOL, after the sperm wash right before the IUI his count was 24.5 million (90 million before the wash), so I am hopeful lol! I look Letrozole 5mg for 5 days and Ovidrel injection 23 hours before the IUI!
For my own peace of mind, should I use some of the Easy at Home pregnancy and/or LH strips to keep monitoring? I know that the trigger shot will have to go through my system first so I should see the pregnancy test line get fainter and then get darker if things are looking good!
Just wanted to see where you are all at with all this, and just get some support through this crazy process! Thank you in advance! <3
