I just joined the message boards here after finding them a week or so ago and feeling encouraged by all the sharing and support here.
My husband and I just tried an IUI on December 9th which was the day I ovulated according to my lh surge. This is our first IUI try. We've been trying to get pregnant for 2 1/2 years this time around.
My background - We are blessed with 3 children so I rarely talk about our secondary infertility issues with anyone other than my sisters and my mom because I don't want people to think I'm not very grateful for the children we have. And I have had close friends struggle with infertility to just have their first child, so I don't want to be insensitive to anyone even on the internet. But for a long time I've felt that there's another baby meant for our family and I just need to talk about the frustration with someone.
We were blessed to have #1 with no problems. But then it took almost over 3 years of trying to get to #2 (so they are 5 years apart) and #3 was conceived during our fertility tests and it was never fully conclusive as to what our problem had been. And then #3 was a wonderful surprise and she is only 18 months younger than #2. But now we are back to having problems again and from what we've tested, I ovulate late (around day 19 to 20) so the last 2 months clomid has adjust my ovulation to day 15. It's also been determined that my husband has a low sperm count and low percentage of mobile sperm. So this month we tried IUI.
Today was 9 dpo and I took a FRER but it was negative. I'm trying to be hopeful that it's just too early. Does anyone have IUI experiences they can share (positive or negative) or has anyone tested on day 9 and then suddenly on day 10, you got BFP?
