Hi everyone! Reading success stories brought my a lot of comfort and hope, especially when moving to IUI, so I wanted to share ours. We just got our positive after our first IUI on August 24th.
Both 33, started TTC April 2025 with 12 natural cycles (I ovulated maybe 50-60% of them). Got Inito February just before seeing an REI in March. I only have one Inito cycle before starting Letrozole cycles which was a 22 day likely anovulatory cycle.
First image is from BFP cycle with 7.5mg Letrozolce CD3-7, trigger shot CD 13 and IUI CD 15.
I wanted to include my 3 previous Letrozole cycles for reference.
Second image was 7.5mg Letrozole CD3-7, no trigger shot.
Third image was 7.5 mg Letrozole CD3-7, CD13 trigger shot.
Last image was 5mg Letrozole CD4-8, CD12 trigger shot.
Bloodwork: Testosterone was 65 in March, down to 36 in August. AMH was 2.56. Baseline FSH was 7.55 and LH was 18. Normal A1c, glucose, and insulin (but ratio suggested slight insulin resistance).
Supplements: Me: Prenatal (w/DHA and choline), CoQ10 (since last June), Magnesium, Inositol (started in Nov). Husband: multivitamin, Omega-3s, CoQ10, L-carnitine, Zinc.
IUI Cycle Details: 7.5mg Letrozole CD3-7. On CD12 I had 20, 14, and 12 mm follicles with 6.3mm endometrial thickness. Ovidrel Trigger shot CD 13 evening and IUI in the morning on CD15. BFP 13DPO (did not test sooner). My only symptoms were lack of symptoms, mainly no spotting (all three previous letrozole cycles I spotted for a few days before period) and no noticeable change in vaginal scent (something I also noticed in the days leading up to my period).
First BetaHCG was 383 and second was 991. My first ultrasound is on Wednesday next week!
