CD 5

So my husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years. We've actually been together for over 5 years all together. Long story short, we've been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years - with no luck. About a year ago I talked to my OB and she prescribed Clomid and we did a few rounds of that - still no luck. At this time my husband went and had a sperm analysis - came back normal. She then prescribed Femara (Letrozole) and still no luck. We finally decided it was time to see a fertility specialist. We decided to go to Nashville Fertility Center and so our journey begins.

I've had 2 unsuccessful IUI's using Femara. This is month is going to be my 3rd IUI with Femara. After the 3rd failed IUI we will have to have another consult with the fertility specialist to see what our next steps are. I am thinking probably IUI with injectables or possibly even IVF. I pray that we won't get to either of those steps - maybe the 3rd times the charm!

My cycles range from 26 to 28 days. I usually O early - around day 11 - so my luteal phase seems to be fine. I take Progesterone (400 mg) once a day starting 2 dpiui.

Currently, I am on CD5. I take Femara days 3-7. I have an appointment on the 8th of July (CD 11) for an ultrasound. I am thinking they'll probably give me the HCG shot on that day too if my follicles look ready. Then most likely the IUI on the 9th of July (CD 12).

We really need and want this to be our month. We both have children so we know we can have children - just hoping we can have one together. So frustrating, but I am trying to be positive.

If anyone is reading this - please pray.
