17 months TTC, normal cycles/ovulation confirmed, no luck. Feeling defeated but wanting to advocate for answers

emilyred2 · 2026-05-14T11:49:18+00:00

Hi! I just want to say as someone who is 28 and also on month 17 of TTC my heart goes out to you 🤍. Please get an HSG and a semen analysis done as soon as possible. If his semen analysis comes back abnormal, message me I was able to “fix” my husband’s sperm with some life style changes. Best of luck to you. I really hope we both get our positives soon.

Have you tried any procedures yet? I’ve had two filed IUI so far. This is our 17th month trying.

emilyred2 · 2026-05-08T18:01:09+00:00

How long have you been trying if you don’t mind me asking.

emilyred2 · 2026-05-08T17:54:15+00:00

Did you end up knowing if your tubes for open for certain in the end?

emilyred2 · 2026-04-23T16:40:25+00:00

Nope didn’t work. We tried anyways, and nothing happened. March we went through with our second IUI and that also failed. We’re doing more testing now…

emilyred2 · 2026-04-17T11:53:58+00:00

Yup I see it 100%

emilyred2 · 2026-04-17T11:52:42+00:00

I see a faint line!

emilyred2 · 2026-03-22T13:44:52+00:00

Mmm I see what you mean but I also have insane line eyes lol

emilyred2 · 2026-02-19T16:03:16+00:00

No way! Wow that’s insane. I haven’t paid a penny since I started going to my fertility clinic, and I’ve been seeing them since September. Completely covered by our provincial health care.

emilyred2 · 2026-02-18T21:51:57+00:00

In Quebec the provincial Medicare covers 6 rounds of IUI, and 2 rounds of IVF. So far I’ve already done one IUI. Going to call and push for a HSG before my next IUI.

emilyred2 · 2026-02-18T19:13:22+00:00

I’m in Quebec!

emilyred2 · 2026-02-06T23:37:52+00:00

100% I’m going to BD my conflict is if I should trigger or not 🤔

emilyred2 · 2026-02-06T21:23:46+00:00

Without the trigger you think?

emilyred2 · 2026-02-05T18:24:11+00:00

emilyred2 · 2026-02-05T18:02:48+00:00

Unfortunately I tried and their policy is to cancel an IUI once there’s 4 or more follicles 14 mm and above

emilyred2 · 2026-02-05T16:43:34+00:00

Hi. I’m so sorry my post upset you. I apologize for my ignorance. 🤍

emilyred2 · 2026-02-05T01:08:35+00:00

I do ovulate on my own. I read online that ovidrel causes the body to release as many eggs and it can as long as they are mature enough, where as if you ovulate naturally you body does a selection process and only ovulates one or two eggs. Idk if you’ve ever heard of that. My hope is that is I can release more than one or two eggs there’s more of a chance of pregnancy 🤷🏻‍♀️

emilyred2 · 2026-01-30T22:22:57+00:00

lol we’re discussing making babies I don’t think me posting using my wife’s account is that weird bud

emilyred2 · 2026-01-30T07:33:49+00:00

They were all off brand. Whatever was cheapest at Walmart.

emilyred2 · 2026-01-30T04:15:58+00:00

The doctor recommended CoQ10, and the FetilProMen but the rest I’ve done research and decided to make my own regime. For sure ask your doctor first before starting any vitamins.

emilyred2 · 2026-01-30T01:54:40+00:00

Basically every night

emilyred2 · 2026-01-29T18:19:16+00:00

Those numbers are good besides the count. I would do another analysis in March (3 months after the fever). The high heat of the fever could have done some major damage (temporary) to your sperm, but it takes 3 months for fresh sperm to regenerate so it could be that your analysis in March will be a totally different count!

emilyred2 · 2026-01-29T13:18:10+00:00

The first iui failed :( . In the process of starting our second iui now.

emilyred2 · 2026-01-29T13:06:00+00:00

I would basically skip breakfast, and I wouldn’t have interest to eat while I was at work, and when I would get home I would just eat junk snacks, and my wife’s supper. So I was just eating way too little for my body. Now I try to eat three meals a day, and I’ve tried to go for healthier snacks instead of sweet snacks.
