Anyone have a similar experience?💔
Currently on cycle 12 of TTC our first child, unsuccessful so far & have never seen a positive pregnancy test - so bummed out and wanted to see if anyone can relate or has advice.
Background:
- IUD (Mirena) for 8 years, no period on it - removed August 2024
- Cycles have been regular for the most part since removal, first period was ~4 weeks after removal but persistently short luteal phase (8-9 days)
- Have had positive OPKs, EWCM and temp increase to confirm ovulation every cycle
- supplemented with Progesterone x 4 cycles without any changes, luteal phase even stated shorter
- began basic fertility testing with my OBGyn including progesterone levels (typically lower, 7.8 & 8.0 on 7 DPO draws), normal FSH, LH, Prolactin, Estradiol
- AMH 5.26
- 2 pelvic ultrasounds mostly normal other than 1 paraovarian cyst that hasn’t changed / doesn’t cause symptoms
- husband’s SA was normal
This month I’m going to schedule an HSG followed likely by ovulation induction medication through my OBGyn.
Should I be making a fertility appointment instead of staying with my OBGyn at this point? Worried about the lack of a single positive pregnancy test so far. No less than 14 of my girlfriends have become pregnant quite quickly within the time I’ve only seen negatives which further worries me.
Any and all advice is appreciated 😔
