Default Yay back from our 5 month break from TTC!!!

Hi Girls

Well finally we are up and running after our 5 month break!!! Today is officially CD2 for Kim, my partner, and she has started the 100mg Clomid today! Yay! This will be her 7th IUI with Clomid, she got pregnant on her second attempt March last year, but miscarried at 8 weeks.

She went on to have 4 more IUI's with no luck, then decided to have a break. So our last attempt was in September last year!!! Feels like forever since we last TTC, but we needed the break after 11 failed attempts.

So this will be attempt No. 12 between the both of us ... 2 IUI cycles and 3 IVF cycles for me (one was converted to IUI so that really is 3 x IUI's and 2 x IVF's) and 6 IUI's for Kim..What do you think our chances really are?

Well our last IUI did not work, kim got AF two days before she was due to. So she is on 100mg clomid again for another IUI in April and if it is unsuccessful she is going in for a laparoscopy and dye to check for endometriosis. Could be causing her not to conceive....

Hi TwoMums,

I remember you from the ttc thread - I hope you had a great break overseas, and are back and fired up for lovely bfp

I just wanted to wish you all the very best, I hope you don't have to wait too long. I had an early miscarriage in November, and fell pregnant again the following cycle, December, and now nearly half way there. It will happen for you soon, take care.

Lee xo
