Q: unable to conceive with breakthrough bleeding and IUI

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. Sad

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.
