re: *OFFICIAL* Fertility Treatment Thread (Clomid, IVF, IUI)

Thank you so much. I never knew about SIDS until I lost my daughter to it... were holding a fundraiser on sunday for SIDS awareness in memory of her. I've been on vitamins since we started TTC and I quit smoking which was more difficult because I was so stressed out and depressed. I also cut out caffeine out of my diet. We always use preseed & my SO has been on vitamins as well. We immediately started TTC after we lost our daughter which was hard but it helped me to know I can hopefully fill my empty arms soon. So after losing my daughter and TTC I refused any medications for my depression. It was so hard.... So I hope I'm not selfish for not wanting to wait a full year to conceive naturally. What would the first step be to requesting an IUI?

@ everyone on here, I am laying in my bed next to my wonderful and supporting husband getting ready for sleep, we start to play around, I get some good old fashion orgasm focused sex and sex that's not wrapped around ttc. I forgot how close the after is, and I forgot how it can reconnect you.

Idea! Homework assignment for all of you: no matter where you are in your cycle, Seduce your husband and spend the night in bed. Reconnect with him this weekend!

I think that's a good idea! Ever since DHs diagnosis, our sex life has been amazing!!! Obviously sex is not a chore for us or centered around ttc so it's easier for me to say that BUT it's nice for sex to be for fun now and not stress about it.

I think I get an F on your homework assignment!   lol. Idk what the heck is wrong with me. As nice as it is to not have to worry about charting or any of that anymore, knowing that sex will never bring us a pregnancy is such a buzzkill! I honestly need alcohol in order to want any kind of intimacy with DH these days, how pathetic is that? I need to get over this, but I don't know how. Hopefully with time.

We actually had really good sex last night. It wasn't TTC sec since we are IUI this cycle, more about keeping the pipes cleaned out, lol. DH is going out of town til Sunday afternoon and no more sexy time in case IUI is Tuesday. It was fun last night though!

Oh bummer! I'm sorry you feel that way   ... I'm the complete opposite. I feel like it's a weight off my shoulders... not that I wouldnt LOVE to have my DH's biological child, but I HATED sex when it was for TTC, and I felt bad for DH because he wanted sex for sex and I wanted sex for a baby. Now that we have a plan set, and a different way to get pregnant, I feel like our sex life is much better than it was before... not perfect, but it's getting there lol. I'm sure you will get there too!!!

DH and I are actually using condoms again ( My chemical is thought to be from my thyroid being severely hypo) on top of oral birth control.

It kinda makes it fun? Considering that from the time we met we never used condoms, only because of how we met that even happened.

Backstory : we knew of each other through mutual friends for years, I was going to be getting a contract with the medical centers down where he grew up and I thought I would email him asking about the area. ended up talking for a few months online( Convos went from the directed path to personal questions, and he admitted he had a thing for me.), then met up when I came to settle a contract for work, at my hotel room, and we kinda slept together and starting dating from that point. I was smitten and falling for him pretty fast and did the what feels right thing and we didnt use a condom, since I was on the pill.  

Can you get lower back pains during O'ing time?

I just thought that was normal and DH wouldn't know the difference. He only had sex one time before we got together.

Sounds like way too many follicles

It's because of the PCOS. Mine is the same.

Not yet, my estradiol was only 101, so maybe not to many immature follies will grow. I am eating high protein, low sodium though. And thanks!
