We did our first iui in April with no success. We have been trying to 2.5 years with no success. Not a single positive in that time. My clinic didn’t start me on clomid until cycle day 5 this round. We went today for an ultrasound and I have 4 follicles. 13, 16, 17, and 18. The only thing is that my lining is only 5.5mm and they want closer to 8mm. They have me going back in Friday but they said I may ovulate before they get to actually do the iui. They said they don’t want to give me anything to make it thicker and let it thicken on its own. They told us to BD until then but like why am I paying all this money if we are just going to end up doing timed intercourse???
I already have been so discouraged this whole time as I feel like the doctors won’t listen because we are “so young” (I’m 23 hubs is 26). We have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility (which I think is a lazy diagnosis) and all of our tests have come back normal. I commend those who have done this for longer and still have hope. I genuinely cannot keep doing this and crying every day over it. I’m almost to the end of this journey as we cannot afford to do anything more than iui. Insurance won’t cover even the basic labs so we can only do so many rounds.
That’s my rant. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. ❤️
