After my ectopic pregnancy on May 24th, 2022, my period arrived on the 28th, marking the start of a new cycle. Following my doctor’s advice, I began taking birth control the next day. On June 13th, I had a post-op appointment, and everything was healing well. The nurse provided me with a calendar for my next FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) procedure.
On June 14th, I started taking a Vitamin E supplement and Pentoxifylline to help thicken my uterine lining. On June 22nd, I stopped taking birth control pills and had a baseline ultrasound and blood work, which showed a uterine lining of 3.3mm. The doctor instructed me to start taking estrace the next day.
Cycle #2 was canceled on July 22nd due to a thin uterine lining and uterine fluid. I stopped taking Lupron and estrace and started doxycycline and medroxyprogesterone as prescribed. I kept the nurse informed of my period start date to adjust my treatment plan accordingly.

In January 2022, following our discussion with the doctor, we opted to go for a mini stim IVF cycle after not having any viable embryos from the previous egg retrieval. As recommended, I started taking CoQ10 and DHEA supplements. When my period began on January 19, I reported it to the clinic and began taking birth control pills the next day to control it.
Embarking on our journey in April 2021, little did we know that it would ultimately lead us to the realm of IVF. Filled with a renewed sense of well-being, both physically and emotionally, my husband and I joyfully committed to the pursuit of parenthood once again. In the quest for the perfect fertility clinic, we encountered challenges, yet the clinic that had previously supported us in IUI procedures stepped up once more. As we navigated through consultations and procedures, unforeseen hurdles arose, eventually guiding us towards the path of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The decision to take this route brought both uncertainties and hope, marking a significant juncture in our ongoing journey.

Embarking on our fertility journey in early 2020, my spouse and I decided to give it another go. Our plan included several rounds of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) alongside the use of Clomid. Despite experiencing three unsuccessful IUI cycles in January, February, and March, and taking a break in April and May, our hope remains steadfast. Clomid, a medication addressing ovulatory issues, played a role in our strategy, as it enhances the chances of successful conception when combined with IUI. As our journey unfolds, we invite you to stay connected through our YouTube Channel, The Infertility Compass, and join our private Facebook group for further engagement.

Embarking on our journey to conceive, we made the pivotal decision to resume our efforts in September 2019. The quest for a suitable fertility clinic led us to contact several options in our vicinity, yet responses were elusive. Turning to our insurance provider, we secured a list of clinics accepting our coverage. The chosen clinic, with a prompt response, granted us our first appointment in October 2019. The subsequent consultation delved into our conception history and a battery of fertility tests, covering crucial factors like AMH, TSH, Vitamin D, and Genetic testing. As we navigated discussions on IVF, ICSI, and genetic testing, the decision to proceed with IVF marked a significant juncture. However, the financial clearance process proved daunting, requiring upfront payment for each cycle, leaving us with mixed emotions after a thorough review with a financial adviser. This experience underscores the importance of careful consideration when choosing a fertility clinic. Prospective individuals or couples should schedule consultations to discuss specific concerns and gather personalized information, ensuring the selected clinic aligns with their unique needs and expectations.
Embark on our IUI journey, delving into the realm of assisted reproductive technology (ART) aimed at enhancing our chances of conception. In this continuation from our previous post, we explore the intricacies of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), a procedure involving the direct placement of sperm into the uterus. Ideal for couples facing fertility challenges, IUI addresses issues like low sperm count, cervical mucus problems, or unexplained infertility. Our protocol involved clinic visits for sample provision and the subsequent insemination, with initial hopes high. Unfortunately, after three failed IUI attempts in July, August, and September of 2016, the emotional toll led us to a thoughtful decision to take a break from the fertility treatment process.
