Feeling like I’m over the first set of hurdles. Hoping the lines continue to develop & that I get to see a baby on an ultrasound.
So far I’ve had a chemical and a missed miscarriage. I’m going on my third year infertility and this will be my third pregnancy 🥹🤞🏼

I found out I was pregnant yesterday after throwing a pity party to my husband the day before that the cycle was a fail. As far as he knows we’re not, and I’d like to surprise him since it’s been so long trying.
In March when I found out I went all out making him a cake and writing “oh baby” in pink and blue letters ….. but by the time he got home the frosting had melted a bit and he thought it said “ho boy” and didn’t get it and then when he finally got it kind of panicked (again, it’s been 3 years of trying)😂😂😂😂
Now I know he really wants this but I also don’t want to do anything super crazy again.
Does anyone have any unique or cool ideas to announce to your spouse? Did you guys do anything special?
Going in for my second iui after my 1st was a success but a loss. Today’s monitoring apt said that I had fluid in my uterus but was ok to proceed with iui? I dont remember being told there was fluid on cd3. I’m curious if anyone has had something similar.
I’m waiting on CD1 - 4th cycle after my successful 1st iui turned miscarriage. I should get my period tomorrow or the next day and usually ovulate cd 12-14 naturally.
My 1st iui was 5mg letrezole resulting in 2 21mm follicles with my husbands total motile sperm count around 60 million which is really high. My 1st ultrasound they thought was twins but then a week later they said it was only 1 sac and a blighted ovum.
The thought of twins really terrified us. My new doctor wants to do some form of medication still even though my husbands sperm count as of last month was even higher at 90 million.
I’m visiting friends 5 hours away Friday 8/7-8/10 which correlates to estimated cd12-15.
I usually ovulate early with letrezole. I might be able to squeeze in the iui for Friday the 7th before we leave.
I’m wondering if I should agree to 2.5 mm or just commit to 5mm. I know nobody can really help me with this but any input is helpful and/or thanks for listening to me vent.
I hope cd1 comes tomorrow and I can call my doctor to start the cycle
Ttc more than 2.5 years 1st cycle Dec 2023 was a chemical followed by years of negatives. 1st iui March 2026 was a success but found blighted ovum 6.5 weeks. Took miso & 2 weeks later determined rpoc. D&c may 1st.
Normally ovulate on clockwork cd13-16 but expected it to be delayed this month. Had LH rise around cd10 but dropped back down, then actual positive a week and a half later. Cramping on and off all cycle. Temps never rose fully to what they were before (cover is usually 97.3 but ff adjusted this month to be lower)
Brownish blood on this Monday fully expected period to start by yesterday at the latest. My non medicated cycles are almost always period by 10/11dpo and we’re at 13.
Do we think I ovulated later than ff? Just trying to gauge when I can schedule my cd3 labs at my new clinic. I’m 99% sure I’m not pregnant. Both my 2 loss/pregnancies had VERY specific cramps I don’t have this month. This feels like every other period is coming cycle.
My story is a bit of a unique one and I guess I’m just looking for some hope. I’ve been trying for a second since end of 2023. Up until then conception had been easy for me. End of 2023 was a chemical followed by 2 years unexplained infertility. I had just about all the treatments, and medications. Never once saw a positive test in those 2.5 years
Finally in March I did my first iui and to my complete shock it was successful. Unfortunately we found out a little over 6.5 weeks it was a blighted ovum/loss. The loss process has taken 1.5 months already and I still haven’t even ovulated - the one thing that used to be clockwork for me.
Im just so terrified it’ll be another 2+ years before I get pregnant again. I have no clue what caused my infertility and what caused this random conception. I’ll do another iui maybe next month but I won’t be taking medication this time (there was a twin scare).
Has anyone had a similar story? Where they had unexplained infertility followed by loss and actually went on to get pregnant again?
This whole journey has been so hard and my 1st iui did not go according to plan. I’m wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience.
My backstory: summarized the best I could
1 living child, started ttc a second Nov 2023 got pregnant end of December 2023 which was a chemical. Then I took 3 months off and when I started again experienced unexplained secondary infertility.
June 2025 I started seeing a specialist. Clear tubes and hycosy. Semen analysis excellent. Hormones all good. No DNA issues on my end - husband still needs his.
October 2025 started letrezole cycles with timed intercourse and trigger. Body always had 2 follicles never had success. 1st iui march 13th. Letrezole 5mg. 2 follicles, very thin lining, excellent semen sample. To our surprise it worked. 1st positive test in 2.5 years!
Here’s the messy part: 5w4d ultrasound: tech thinks there are twins. I quickly realized how terrified we were of this. I would have to quit my job? Get a new car? Go in for 6 week 4 day ultrasound and tech now says “just kidding only one” and then it turns out to be blighted ovum.
Instructed to take miso pills. First round doesn’t work. 2nd round unclear. Follow up ultrasound looks good, big drop In hcg. A week later follow up hcg is up again. Needed a d&c.
I’m meeting with a new clinic to start a 2nd iui soon and I’m wondering about my next treatment plan. I’m not sure if I ever had twins? And I know letrezole works. But I can’t help feeling I’m doomed if I do and doomed if I don’t. I’m so afraid of another 2 years infertility.
Has anyone had a similar situation? I’m wondering if unmedicated iui would even work for me? But will letrezole lead to twins even with only 2 follicles? I’d love to hear your thoughts
