Hi everyone! It's nice to meet you and get to know a little about all of you!

Your Name/Age: Samantha (you can call me Sam!) 30 years old

DH Name/Age: Chris - 32

Diagnosis: First found out I had a low thyroid which was causing me not to ovulate. Have been on meds for over two years now. Everything else with me seems to be fine, but I'm not sure if I'm convinced! Chris has a low sperm count, also has a low thyroid.

How long TTC: 3+ years

Where are you in TTC process: Just completed our 5th and final round of IUI in November with no success. Have been doing acupuncture and chiropractic since the beginning of December to see if it will help before we jump into IVF.

Next Step: If acupuncture and chiropractic doesn't work in the next three or four months, onto IVF!

What are you most looking forward to in February? Just like everyone else, hopefully becoming pregnant! We are also going to be putting our house on the market, so hopefully we'll have some luck with that!

Good luck ladies!

Your Name/Age: Ellen / 36

DH/DW/SO Name/Age: James / 40

Diagnosis: Low sperm count, low motility
How long TTC: Successful IUI in '05 (baby girl in '06), trying for #2 for 1 year now

Where are you in the TTC process: We have tried several unsuccessful IUI's in the past year. We got 0 response on Puregone 300 units ( 1 follicle, I do that on my own ) or Menopure 300 units ( 1 follicle, I do that on my own ) and pretty good response to Femera (3-6 follicles). Just did another IUI on the 1st of Feb. If it does not work we have been told we will have to switch to IVF or IVM

Next Step:
What are you most looking forward to in February? I hope to find out it worked, but I am not holding my breath. We will wait to see what the options are from there. Cash will definitely be an issue if we need IVF or IVM.
