I got married June 2008, we don't know why I don't ovulate, I'm about to do my third injectable/IUI cycle, and we both got screwed by the snowstorm! <3 ICLW #96Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598158572760263482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731470768741188654.post-59258862939129108842010-12-26T02:47:56.696-05:002010-12-26T02:47:56.696-05:00Hi, stopping by for ICLW.

My doc told me I need to gain weight and see what happens, but I just don't think that is the root cause. I see Clomid in my near future. Hoping the holidays keep you busy over the wait!!<br /><br />AP<br />http://mydustyuterus.blogspot.com/anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02588291135792126240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731470768741188654.post-11440934368611687642010-12-22T22:48:21.127-05:002010-12-22T22:48:21.127-05:00Here from ICLW.

But then I recently found out I have an autoimmune thyroid problem that isn't showing up in my TSH levels yet. Don't know if that will end up fixing the problem, but its worth a try. Hopefully the new doc in January will have some answers for you.<br /><br />Happy Holidays!One Cycle at a Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804135470401339449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731470768741188654.post-11736056119452753242010-12-22T20:17:01.376-05:002010-12-22T20:17:01.376-05:00Hoping and praying you get a BFP next Monday.

Are you a nurse? I am going to school to be a nurse midwife and often wonder how I will cope if I'm never able to give birth to my own babies. Sending lots of love and more hope!

So we are only 1 day apart!!! also if this fails for me, we will also be moving onto ivf. Something I never thought il'd need. but im also thinking that this iui hasn't worked. Im really glad for a break over xmas, im feeling ok about starting ivf, but so expensive and that really makes it a big strain. its a shame money dictates everything, but it really does. Anyhow,I will watch out for your result. good luck.clewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892147307925513178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731470768741188654.post-68083643494168535712010-12-21T15:04:54.208-05:002010-12-21T15:04:54.208-05:00here from iclw and just wanted to say I understand...here from iclw and just wanted to say I understand how frustrating "unexplained if" is.
