Hi,
Here's the stats on myself & my husband:
Me: 33
AMH 2.2
E2 Normal
FSH Normal
HSG Normal
Pooled P4 (3 days) 6.82
Midcycle U/S 18 follicles left ovary
BMI 21
Physically very active, nonsmoker
Husband: 35
Post-wash IUI 0.52 mL
19,000,000 total motile
motility 57%
rapid & linear 12%
dx stage II NHL at age 29; chop-r + chest radiation
Nonsmoker
We have been ttc #1 for 13 consecutive months currently plus 3-4 months a few years back (we decided to use protection after that, we weren't quite ready). I ovulate regularly every month, between day 12 and 15. I start spotting 9-10 dpo and then have a period a few days later. Because of the low prog, I have used prog supp + iui (once with hcg trigger after u/s and once based on urine lh) for the past 2 months. I will try that for one more month, then add in clomid.
Does this seem like a reasonable course of action?
Do you think that the problem here resides with my cycle and has nothing to do with sperm issues from all the prior chemo my husband had? We have banked sperm from before he started chemo. The counts from that sperm are normal, but our RE thinks there's no advantage to using them.
Thanks for your input. I feel frustrated and just wish after all that we've been through, it would work easier.
