unable to conceive with breakthrough bleeding and IUI Posted: 02-27-08 23:16pm
Hi everyone. I am really struggling with
understanding why I have not been able to
conceive. I know this is such a common
topic on this website. However I am fairly
new to this website and could use some
sincere encouragement right now.
I am 31 years old and have suffered from
breakthrough bleeding for the past 5
years. Through many tests, ultrasounds,
etc, they cannot determine why this
happens. All of my hormone levels have
been in the "normal" range. We have been
trying to conceive for well over a year
now. My obgyn put me on clomid, which did
stop the break through bleeding. However,
after two months of treatment and no
prego, they suggested I go straight to a
fertility specialist. So, I began going 3
months ago. This doctor seems wonderful
and very determined to get me preg! I had
my tubes cleared and they found
nothing...everything looks great. They
changed my meds to Femara. I have been on
that for three months. I have had the HCG
shot the past two months along with the
IUI this past month. Each time I go, an
ultra sound is done before and during
ovulation. I have had follicles this past
month on either ovary...17 and 18 mm
before I received the HCG shot to bring on
ovulation. I was so excited and positive
it would work this month. However, as I
sit and type this, I am suffering from bad
menstral cramps. My cycle is due on next
wednesday and I know its coming. I am just
wondering if this all sounds normal. I am
extremely moody and emotional. I am to the
point where I don't want to go for my
blood preg test on Monday morning. This is
such an emotional roller coaster and I
know I am not even that far into it. I
just feel like it may never happen and I
just can't understand why it's not. They
can't find anything wrong with me besides
having the break through bleeding, in
which the meds have fixed. I had a little
spotting this past month...but they blamed
it on the IUI. I am very frustrated and
getting more and more depressed each month
it doesn't happen. Any
help/advice/encouragement would be greatly
appreciated!

Be patient. I know it is easier said than
done. I am 40 and I also am new to all
this. My husband and I have been trying to
get pregnant for almost 3 years now. I
started all this in the new year. I have
has 2 rounds of Femara and Novarel HCG
shot . The first month I produced 2 eggs
and no pregnancy. The second month, not
even an egg, or so they couldn't see.
Other than I was told I had a cyst, so I
didn't get my shot this month. They are
now suggesting IUI with another
medication. Now my Neice, last month was
told that she had no eggs but cysts, and
she is pregnant. Only 2 weeks but it just
goes to show even they are never 100%
sure. Lets keep in touch and help each
other through these difficult times.
