Fertility Woes

The first IUI failed. It was one of the hardest things to realize that it had not worked.

All of our testing came back as we suspected, the hubs is great. I on the other hand have all the problems we knew and a few more. I have a low ovarian reserve, which means I don't have many eggs left which is not surprising because of when I started menstruating. It is so hard to want know that with every month I lose eggs and with that the chance to have children. Even with fertility meds, it doesn't increase the quality of eggs, just the number I produce each month.

We went in for our CD3 ultrasound and found that my lining had shaped up nicely. It was at an 11 the month before and was at 6 this month, which is a huge reduction and the dr was very encouraged by that. We also saw a lot of follicles on the right ovary which looked great. On the left we found 3 cysts. Not really happy about that. We were concerned that we would have to go on birth control for a few months to clean out the cysts but the doctor said they looked small enough to be able to go ahead with the next cycle. Which was a relief.

We are super hopeful that this cycle will be the one that worked. We will find out right around our anniversary if it worked.
