I've been TTC for 2 1/2 years and after one surgery, 1 failed IUI, and growing another uterine polyp, I'm facing the possibility that I can't be approved for IVF until I lose weight. I'm also 35. I completely understand how you feel.
Have you had an HSG and/or any other tests to see if there are any other issues?View Thread


When we got my HSG back last year, it showed that I had 4 uterine polyps. I had to have surgery, but now my body doesn't want to ovulate on its own. My husband had SA and his numbers came back pretty low. I wanted to jump right into IVF and not bother with IUI, but my doctor says we have a "reasonable" chance with IUI. My husband agreed to try IUIs first , just in case they work and we wouldn't have to spend the money for IVF. After 1 failed IUI, and another staring me in the face, I'm getting pretty discouraged.
I like where you say that you're focusing on what your RE said about treatment helping you to be pregnant by the end of the year. My RE told us that he could definitely help us and that we're good candidates for treatment. My husband started taking vitamins to boost his fertility and they have helped, so good luck with the urologist.View Thread

My doctor chose Femara instead of Clomid because there are fewer side effects. Even on a stronger dose, I haven't had any hot flashes- and it's generic now!!!
After the IUI last month I was sooo tired and nauseated, which was probably due to the higher levels of progesterone. Since I've been taking my meds this month starting on Sunday, I've been so tired, I can hardly get out of bed and get to work. I'm going to do this IUI and possibly one more, but after that I'm done. I'll move on to IVF because of the higher success rates.View Thread

They say it like they're the first ones to think of this. Adoption is NOT the ony choice for couples dealing with infertility.View Thread

Although we didn't get BFP this month, I had 4 follicles. I'm starting it again on Sunday and I'll go in for my u/s on the 31st. Then we'll do another IUI.
Good luck!View Thread
