I'm Back.......

I haven't been on in a few weeks. Just really bummed about my bfn last month. BUT my DH & I decided we would try IUI again 1 more time. My RE put me on 100 mg of Clomid - went in today for my u/s & will be ready to O hopefully by Wednesday! I only have 1 egg (guess I am getting old - even w/meds I can't seem to make more than 1 egg anymore!)

Anyway, will let you all know when I surge, but we're looking @ next week - which will hopefully give us a nice Christmas present! I totally plan on getting a BFP this month!

Glad to be back ladies & good luck to all of you!!
Baby dust to all!

Glad you are back. Hang in there. It will happen. I'm the same age and I can only produce around 2 at a time. My RE wants 3. I call it the old eggs factor, but hey it only takes one. Praying for your this month. Take care.

I just went in for IUI #4 and only have one follie as well (no meds). I'm 35, will be 36 in a few months, so I know how you feel. It seems there are a number of us around the same age (mid-late 30's) and while we know that's not old, we have a few more factors to consider with IF. Again, good luck, and that one follie will give you that BFP! If you think about it, most women without IF get pregnant with just one, so.....

I know, I was just hoping for 2 as my "safety net". Oh well, I'll be 37 in a few months & really want to be pregnant before turning another year older.

Liza, looks like we'll be having our IUI's within a few days of each other again!
Jamie, are you doing IUI this month?

I am really for a bfp this month - I'll be with my family in SC for Christmas- will be the perfect time to share the news! I bought a 3-pack of First Response tests to pack in my suitcase!

Good luck!!

There's a lot of us doing IUI's within a few days of each other, and last time that happened we saw A LOT of BFP's, so this has to be it for us! We can't miss the bus this time! LOL
