I saw my OB after cycle 16 and she told me to wait 6 more months because I had been nursing for the first 12 cycles. Now I'm back to see her next week. What questions should I ask? Is there anything I should prep before hand to get the most action out of this appointment?</p> <p>Things I have:<br /> opk testing for ~7 months<br /> temping for ~3 months<br /> record of length of all 21 cycles (27 days +/- 2 days)<br /> tested thyroid, testosterone, and prolactin levels (all normal) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-clomid-next-cycle-if-this-cycle-28-doesnt-take#post-2818796 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 06:56:45 +0000 Kaohinani 2818796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for a bit of support and, perhaps, some experience. After 28 cycles of ttc (and trying EVERYTHING except fertility medications... read as: scans, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, vitamin therapy, Vitex, Myo-Inositol, and hormone tests ...), I have finally given in to the idea that I should try Clomid. ;) I have secondary infertility without a defined cause - No PCOS, endometriosis, tubal issues, etc. The scar tissue from 2 c-sections had been surgically minimized. My OBGYN told me if I don't receive a BFP by 1 May, he would like me to try a cycle or two of Clomid. I have been hesitant to try medication due to the fact that, while I am VERY active (*note - I am a MIL spouse, have 2 children and am a former Spc Ed teacher and professor who decided to go for a degree in Exercise Science and Physiology with a NASM cert ... I've been busy for YEARS. *laughs* 😂), I take many medications for seizure disorder, May-thurners' with edema, and Fibromyalgia with migraines. I have researched Clomid and it's effects extensively; HOWEVER, I do not know what to expect with my cycle (normally 23 days), and when to BD (if I'm on a day 3-6 cycle VS a 5-9). I'm also wondering how many of you lovely ladies have had the dreaded "Clomid Crazies?" I really need reassurance and some information from those ladies who have "been there, done that." Thank you in advance. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-right-nowsymptoms#post-2803925 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 12:02:10 +0000 maidenmontana 2803925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ANYONE ELSE in this with me? I am 6dpo..have low back ache today... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ama-high-fsh-123-low-amh02-dor-very-long-and-as-detailed-as-possible#post-2590702 Fri, 22 Jul 2016 14:09:02 +0000 Ajsmommy 2590702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if this belongs here or under TTC, if it should be moved please do so.</p> <p>When we first started trying for #2 we had been delayed by some health issues with DH so we were about 6-8 months later than we had planned. I knew that with my AMA (38 about to be 39) that if we had any issues that we’d be referred pretty quickly to a specialist. I always heard to wait 6 months if you are older and TTC doesn’t work and 12 months if you are of younger age. Well, I had my yearly visit with the lady dr and I mentioned we’d been trying for a few months with no luck. She asked how long it had taken for LO#1 and I told it was the first month.. (wow, looking back what a lucky deal that was!!!) Anyway, at my yearly we had been trying for 5 months. Dr immediately referred me to the local, well known fertility specialists. I was nervous and discussed it with DH and he was on board bc I was worried. I remember crying to him on the phone after I left the Dr and saying I was soo worried I wouldn’t be having another baby ever, so I made the appointment.</p> <p>In November we met with our RE specialist. He explained that nothing could really be done or discussed until we had the initial battery of tests that most everyone who walks into an RE office has.. Blood work for both myself and DH, HSG for myself and ultrasound for me. Nov 17, my ultrasound showed endo thickness of 4.5 and 9 follicles over 10 mm (23.2, 17.7, 14.4 on the left and 28.5, 19.9 and 11.5 on the right). I was told this was good and sent on my way. Of course I checked dr google and I was somewhat pleasantly happy with the 9 follicles, not too bad but also not the greatest either. Nov 23, I arrived for my HSG. My blood pressure was sky high (I have chronic borderline high bp and take daily meds) and they almost didn’t do the procedure but I did some deep breathing and was able to get my bp down enough for them to do it. It was very similar to a pap, I felt some pressure from the fluid they pump into your uterus and then they showed me the fluid as it spread through my uterus and into my tubes and out to me ovaries. All was clear, no blockages and then it was over. Took approximately 2-3 mins. I was sent home. My blood work had also been drawn back on Nov 17. I got the phone call that my labs all looked normal, except my FSH was slightly high, but the nurse said all was a go for beginning treatment. Like a dummy I didn’t even ask what my FSH was. I had to call back and she told me it was 12.3, they like it to be below 9. She never mentioned my low AMH or anything else but I have since found out my AMH was .021, which is very low. It should be .42 - 8.34 for woman ages 36-40. DH’s sperm analysis came back normal.</p> <p>We had a meeting with the RE where he told us our results. He suggested we do a few rounds of Timed Intercourse (TI) with clomid and a trigger shot. I was cd4 at that apt so he asked when we wanted to start. DH and I said asap and that meant THAT DAY!!! We probably should have taken a month to think it over but we jumped right in. We went from the RE to the nurse and went over our instructions and how I could pick up my meds for that night at CVS but that I had to order the rest from the freedom pharmacy and they’d deliver them to me. I got instruction videos on how to inject myself (what?!?!?!). I took clomid cd4-cd8. I took 150 injection of gonal f on cd7 and again on cd9. I had a monitoring apt on cd11, endo was 6.5 mm, and I had 2 follicles, 16.5 and 12.7. I was told to trigger that night, so I gave myself the ovidrel shot and TI that night cd11 and then again in the am of cd13. After we had our TI I had to start inserting progesterone suppositories vaginally until my beta. I waited the TWW and went for my beta, naively excited, it was negative.</p> <p>Cycle 2 same protocol. Clomid cd3-cd7. Gonal F cd7, cd 9. Monitor on cd11 and I had 5 follicles. (12.2, 6.5 on lft and 11.5, 11.1 and 7.3 on the right). I was instructed to do another shot of gonal f that night cd11 and monitor again on cd12. On cd12 they measured 3 follicles (? Not sure what happened to the other 2, guess they fell short) 12.2 on lft and 14.5 and 12.9 on right ovary. I was instructed to do another injection of gonal f on cd13 and monitor on cd15. Cd15 I had 8 measurable follicles (?—these records seem confusing) but only 4 were measured….. left ovary had 18.8 and 11.4 and right 12.5 and 22.4, endo was 8.2mm. I triggered that night with TI cd15 and cd17. My tracking app also gave me cross hairs on cd18 and I was excited bc I thought we had timed this cycle perfectly!! As before I started the progesterone suppositories. Beta on Feb 11, negative.</p> <p>Cycle 3. Clomid cd3-cd7. Gonal F cd7, cd9. Monitor cd11 and I again had 5 follicles, Left ovary 16.4, 13.4 and 12.2 and right ovary 21.3 and 15.4 but my endo was only 5.0, not so good. Clomid can cause your lining to suffer. I was told to start estrace vaginally twice a day to help my lining, gonal F cd11, monitor cd12. On cd12 my endo had gone up to 7.3mm! That was great news. My follicles were left 19.8, 12.8, 13.6 and 11.3 and right 24.4 and 17.6. I triggered that night with my shot of ovidrel and TI that night cd12 and cd14 in the am. Again my tracking app gave me cross hairs on cd14 so I was again very hopeful bc we had again had great timing. Progesterone suppositories. I took a pregnancy test on cd27 (13 dpo) and I saw a faint line! I texted my two friends who had been my support system and they both saw it too!! I was cautiously optimistic. I decided to test again in the morning with a first response. And… it was stark white. Beta on cd30 was also negative.  Not sure what that line was, maybe an evap or maybe a chemical?? Not sure.<br /> We were told to meet with the RE at this point to go over future treatment. He printed out my percentages of success with IVF and gave us the costs. It was very dismal. The percentage was less than 10% success rate for one round I think it went up to about 35% with three rounds of IVF. My projected egg retrieval was about 1-2 eggs per cycle. The RE did however say he thought I’d do better than that bc thus far I had been responding well with an average of at least 5 good follicles each time. But the cost he quoted us was what sealed the deal. He said for one round it would be $14k-$17k plus about $6k for meds. That’s $20k for a 10% success rate??? Wow, we couldn’t wrap our heads around it. He did offer a two round IVF package for $18k plus meds for each cycle ($12k) or approx. $30k for two rounds. We were not offered any type of refund program, like if it didn’t work we’d get a percentage back or other options. He said we could continue on though and try IUI. However, with no male factor it really wasn’t too much different than TI. Although it would cut out a few things such as the sperm having to navigate through the cervical mucus and it would guarantee the spermies were there to meet the egg. But if there was some issue with fertilization or something IUI won’t help with that.</p> <p>Because I hadn’t been able to accept us quitting we moved on to IUI. RE suggested 3 rounds at most and then revisit.</p> <p>Cycle 4. Clomid cd3-cd7. Gonal F cd5, cd7, cd9 monitor cd11. I had 5 follicles, left 15.5, 12.5, 9.5 and 9.0, right 5.8, endo was 5.7mm. I was instructed to do another shot of gonal F that night cd11 and monitor on cd13. On cd13 my endo was 6.7mm and 5 follicles on the left (not sure what happened to the one on the right).. 16.5, 21.8, 11.9, 10.9 and 10.7. Took gonal F that night again and started estrace vaginally twice a day again to help with my lining. Monitored again on cd14 and my follicles had grown to 18.6, 24.3, 11.6, 13.7 and 14.4. My lining was only 6mm though. I triggered on cd14 and my IUI was set for cd16 (my birthday!! Has to be lucky right??). That morning DH collected his sperm sample and I dropped it off to be washed. My IUI was set for 1.5 hours later. I was feeling sick so I went to the store and got some meds. The IUI process was quick and painless. Took about 2 mins and then I was told to lay there until the clock dinged (5 mins). I went home and napped the rest of the day bc of my being sick. Progesterone suppositories. Beta on April 15 was negative.</p> <p>Cycle 5. Clomid cd3-cd7. Gonal F cd5, cd7, cd9, monitor on cd11. I had 4 follicles only one measurable (it seems to be getting worse, not better for me). My follicle was on my left ovary and was 12.6mm, endo was 3mm I was told to do gonal F cd11, cd12 and monitor cd13. On cd13 I had 3 follicles, left 15.7 and 8.2 and right 8.9. My endo was 5.1. Monitor on cd14, follicles 8.8 and 16.6, endo 4.6mm. Monitor on cd15 follicles were 18.2 and 9.7 endo was only 3.8mm. I was told to trigger that night. I was worried my lining wasn’t thick enough, I was pretty over this cycle. I had been to the dr 3 out of the 4 past days and I was over it. IUI was done on cd17. Same as before, no pain, very quick. The nurse commented on how great DH’s sperm count was. And I replied that I knew, the issue is with me not him…. Smh. Progesterone and estrace suppositories. Beta on May 17 was negative.</p> <p>That week we traveled out of town for a funeral and I really started to do some soul searching and praying. I realized how blessed I am to have LO#1 and that maybe I was trying to control this issue too much and I just needed to let it go. But I couldn’t. I asked DH if he was ok with me to get a second opinion and he said whatever I needed to do. So I sought out some recommendations and found a great place nearby my work. I set up the apt and requested my records from my RE. The apt came and I went in. I explained my situation and the dr was great. She listened and she basically told me it was up to us how far we wanted to pursue this and what we would be comfortable doing. She didn’t push me in a certain direction and she gave me their options. At their clinic I could do a mini IVF for only $8k plus meds which would be about $3k. This was way more affordable and I’ll be honest when I walked out I was pretty sure we’d do it! They also had other packages and I could do any of them. There were no money back packages though. Well I left that apt and then days past. Yes, days before I really talked to DH about it. I don’t know why or how it happened but for some reason I think I was still working through accepting we were done with only one child. I finally brought it up to DH and we talked about it. And as before he was willing to do whatever I wanted. He was fine being done and was happy with LO#1 and our family as is but if it was important to me then he’d be ok with it. I of course ended up in tears telling him how hard it was to give up that “plan” of two kids. I finally started to tell friends that it looked like we were done. And it happened while talking to one of my coworkers/friends who is very pro more than 1 kid in a family. I told her our struggles and she flat blank told me to stop treatments and be happy with what we had. For some reason it was like a light went off and suddenly I just felt ok. Maybe it was bc all my other friends and family who were aware were “supportive” of the treatments (my mom even went so far as to offer to pay for treatment) and this friend said exactly what I needed to hear.</p> <p>That weekend I went to the beach with a friend and she inquired about us having more kids and I told her we were done and when I told her I felt good about it, like no remorse or sadness! I ordered a book from amazon about having and being an only child. I told DH I was good with our happy family of three. We were done treating. After five cycles and thousands of dollars, injections, blood work and meds we were done.</p> <p>The very next cycle I expected to be wonky bc I’d been medicating myself for 5- 6 months. So I just waited for AF to arrive. On cd34 right before I went to bed I decided to poas.. just bc I had plenty of cheapies left over and well bc it was cd34. I fully expected it to be negative and that I was just having a really long cycle… holy moly! It was positive right away! I started shaking and I swear almost passed out. I took another one in the morning and I called the RE to have blood work taken. That afternoon at 130 pm it was confirmed I was pregnant!! I am currently 9w1d. We have a long way to go but here we are.</p> <p>I wanted to write this long drawn out post because when I got my results, the high FSH and low AMH I searched and searched for people like me and their stories. It was very few and far between that they actually turned out happy. I found maybe 3-4 happy endings with numbers like mine. It was hard to find people with similar numbers so just in case someone out there is looking I wanted to share this! It is possible. Even with my bad “numbers” I still did respond fairly well to treatment. And somehow got pregnant 100% naturally so even if you have DOR there could be a few good eggs in there still! I want everyone to know that this is in no way a pro “stop treatment” post. I believe that everyone has to do what they feel is necessary.</p> <p>This whole experience has opened my eyes to so many things about infertility. I give my hugest kudos to those who have dealt with, are dealing with it or will deal with it in the future. It’s an emotional, physical and financial roller coaster. All my best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-ivf-for-undiagnosed-secondary-infertility#post-2708502 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 14:58:41 +0000 ElbieKay 2708502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be 40 next month. My husband is 41. We have a 3yo and would like a second child. We've been trying for a little over a year and had exactly one bfp which resulted in a miscarriage last winter. We have had all the standard infertility tests run, and our diagnosis is simply unexplained infertility. Ugh.</p> <p>We are about to attempt a second cycle of Clomid + IUI, but honestly I am sort of expecting it to fail just like the last one did. If it does fail, I think we will either quit or try one round of IVF because our clinic severely discounts the first round.</p> <p>But I don't know if I have it in me to deal with IVF. I have a consult scheduled with my doctor to discuss the details. It is so much work and so much money, even discounted. I was really bummed that the first IUI cycle failed, and I'm sure the stress and potential disappointment are much much greater with IVF.</p> <p>I am torn between giving it a shot versus just stopping treatment.</p> <p>Has anyone faced a similar decision? What did you decide? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-vent#post-2701522 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 10:07:39 +0000 ElbieKay 2701522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been ttc #2 for about a year. Prior to this process, I never had sore boobs as a PMS symptom but they were one of my earliest pregnancy symptoms with both a mc and my son.</p> <p>Now this seems to have turned into a regular PMS symptom for me. It is so confusing and the first few times I suspected I was pg only to wind up getting my period right on schedule.</p> <p>I am in another TWW with the same symptom and I am so over it. I am trying to psych myself out and convince myself that I am not pregnant so I'm not disappointed over the weekend. But it's been a year and I'm tired of striking out every month.</p> <p>We tried clomid + IUI for the first time, and while that will statistically double our odds of getting pregnant, the odds are still low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ccrm-one-day-work-up#post-2597830 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:32:26 +0000 allhope 2597830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>New here, but had a questions--My husband and I are experiencing secondary infertility. After a couple failed IVF cycles at a local clinic, we had a phone consult with CCRM and have decided to do the one day work up at the clinic in Denver before deciding whether to pursue another IVF cycle. Has anyone been there before? Any tips/things we should know (about being there itself or other logistics). our other issue is we have a 4 1/2 year old and no one to watch her--can we take her with us?

Well, maybe half that long since we didn't really "try" for about 2 of those 4 years. Anyway, we conceived DS on the first try. (Clearly God meant for him to be here at that moment!) Beginning in October 2013, DH and I decided to get down to business. He's 38 and I'm 34. We started seeing an RE early this year and I'm on my first round of clomid this cycle. (Currently 9 or 10 dpo). </p> <p>Do any bees have a success story they could share on secondary infertility? I really could use the encouragement. It's so hard not to have the large family I always dreamed of. Some days are better than others, but when it hits (especially when I'm pre-AFish) I just want to curl up in a ball and boohoo. :( It's been SOOOO long. I just wonder what's the meaning of all this. What lesson am I supposed to be learning? Perhaps it's to be content in any and all circumstances. It's just so hard being in the limbo phase for such a long time...</p> <p>Thanks for letting me vent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-handle-infertility-in-everyday-life#post-2285893 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 15:34:09 +0000 struggleisreal 2285893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I'm a fairly regular poster (probably not that well known, ha!) but am going incognito to talk about this here.</p> <p>I already have a toddler and have been TTC on and off for the last year. Had an early MC near the end of last year and recently went through a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Have to wait until the end of November to TTC again. Haven't had any testing yet to diagnose potential causes for these 2 losses, but I think that's the next step. Also haven't been officially diagnosed with secondary IF, but I'm calling it that because of the 2 back-to-back unsuccessful pregnancies.</p> <p>At this point I'm sad that conceiving #2 just hasn't been working, and it's hard for me to be around pregnant women or ones with newborns. They're everywhere we go: park, restaurants, library, Target, mall, etc. They're even at the lab where I had around 10 blood tests for the suspected ectopic.</p> <p>How do you handle daily life while feeling like you are surrounded by women with successful pregnancies? Tips or tricks for me?</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-three-years-later#post-1939016 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:37:11 +0000 sarac 1939016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I conceived my daughter on my fourth round of clomid. After that, I'd hoped to be one of those people who just sort of got over it - nope. We've been trying ever since she was born, more than three years ago, and nothing. I'd totally given up - I was resigned to either trying to the drugs again, or just being done. </p> <p>But now, this! I am just, stunned. I can't even believe it. I never thought I would conceive naturally. I have my own issues, and we're also facing some male factor issues. I'm just stunned!</p> <p>[attach=2786/14/nevsrf.337x600.20141111_072556.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-no-trouble-conceiving-1#post-1318435 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:02:42 +0000 MamaMoose 1318435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you seek treatment if you had secondary infertility?</p> <p>Despite having a mc I would say my hubs and I had little trouble conceiving our daughter as I was able to get pregnant on the first try twice and only took three months to get a sticky baby. </p> <p>In order to get my first child I would have done any and all IF treatments necessary. But now that I have her, I don't think I would seek IF treatment if I had secondary infertility (maybe clomid but definitely nothing invasive). My husband however said he feels very strongly about having at least one more child and would do anything up to and including IVF. Hopefully this is not a decision we will ever have to make but I was surprised we felt so differently.</p> <p>What would you want to do in this situation? What about your SO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-myself-to-the-if-boards#post-1856716 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:41:11 +0000 ballerinabee 1856716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to introduce myself over here. I finally starting testing tomorrow to see why we're having so much trouble conceiving #2. We've been trying since May 2013, and my DH really wanted to take a laid back approach and not drive ourselves crazy, so I went with that. Then I had some back complications, so I was scheduling cortisone injections and RF nerve ablations around the first week of my period, and had to take a couple of months off this Spring to have more procedures / recovery time for my back. </p> <p>It only took us 3 months to conceive our LO (he's 2.5), so I kept trying to convince myself that the failed cycles this time were just stress, or bad timing, but I've also had 2 CPs, and no success and it's been over a year. </p> <p>My new OB scolded me for not coming to her sooner, esp since I'm of "advanced maternal age". She wants to do CD3 blood work (that's tomorrow) and go from there. I have no idea what to expect, since we had no issues the first time. </p> <p>I sort of feel like a fraud calling this secondary IF since so many of you have struggled with so much more for so much longer, but this has been emotionally hard for me. I can't talk to my friends about it, because DH is uncomfortable with people he knows knowing about our sex life, and no one else I know has had these problems anyhow. </p> <p>Getting my period this week was especially hard because I thought we had timed things perfectly, I would have tested today and DH's birthday is tomorrow (and mine is Sunday), so it would have been an awesome birthday present. And now I have my period for our birthdays, I'll be 37 on Sunday, and the damn adorable Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her 2nd. I heard that on the radio the day I got my period this week, and for some reason it was the straw that broke the camel's back. I just cried. </p> <p>DH doesn't really understand. He's not stressed. He says "it will happen, just relax". Boys. They just don't get it. He's 4 years younger, and doesn't understand why I'm stressed. </p> <p>Sorry for the novel. I just needed to vent and find somewhere to talk to other people who understand. I apologize to those of you who have struggled a lot longer. I don't mean to sound whiny or ungrateful for the child I do have, I'm just really having a hard week. </p> <p>Thanks for listening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infertility-or-secondary-infertility#post-1147589 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 13:00:55 +0000 sarac 1147589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooops according to this definition - </p> <p>Here's the definition from the RESOLVE site: "Secondary infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant, or to carry a pregnancy to term, following the birth of one or more biological children. The birth of the first child does not involve any assisted reproductive technologies or fertility medications." </p> <p>I'm just plain old infertile! Since I used drugs to make my first baby. Whatever - I'm still glad to have a place to put my posts about not being pregnant. I do think that it makes a difference (to some people, at least!), whether you have a baby already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-infertility-sucks#post-1146637 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:38:13 +0000 sarac 1146637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Firstly, I wish we had a secondary infertility board. I hate to bitch about my own infertility when I have a child. I don't really think it belongs here, so I'm sorry. I totally don't subscribe to the idea that secondary infertility is as bad as just plain old infertility. </p> <p>Anyway, we've been NTNP for the last 16 months with no dice. More on the trying side lately. I conceived my daughter after 4 rounds of clomid, but my midwives don't want me to take it again until I'm done breastfeeding. And since I'm not sure I'll get to do it again, I'm not willing to cut off my daughter before she's ready. </p> <p>Every month I find some reason to think that I'm pregnant, and then turn out not to be. This month it was waking up at 4am dizzy and throwing up. I'm sure it'll just turn out to be the same nothing it always is. You know how it goes. I just feel like such a failure of a woman for not being able to get pregnant like everyone else can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-baby-ttc-issues#post-324834 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:42:39 +0000 JordansMommy 324834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! This is my first post and I will get used to all the acronyms. But I would really like to hear from anyone going through issues TTC with their second child.<br /> We have a beautiful 3 year old daughter that only took 2 months TTC and have been TTC for 9 months now with our second child . I have been working with my Doctor on these issues for 3 months now. I am on clomid, received a clear HSG and that cycle resulted in a chemical pregnancy last month. I am on the same dose of clomid this month and will have my progesterone checked later this month. I suspect my levels are low and hopefully we can have GOOD baby news this month. Is anyone else out there going through the same issues? I am having a very difficult time dealing with this. Of course I have read way to much online and I am fearful of potential outcomes of this pregnancy. Thanks to you all! </p>
