Not Really New, But its Been a while **Introduction**

Hello Everyone!! My name is Jasmine… I’ve been a "Bump" member for about 3yrs in and out of several groups here. My husband and I have been married going on 7yrs (Anny in April). We started seeing a fertility doctor in January 2011.  I had endometriosis really bad which cause major damage to my tubes and ultimately they both needed to be removed. My husband also has a genetic condition and male infertility issues that would have complicated things even further if I didn’t have enough going on myself. We finally had our first round of IFV in August 2011, which lead to a twin gestation that miscarried in Nov 2011. Since then we have had 2 rounds of FET, one that didn’t take, and one that lead to a chemical pregnancy.  We donated the remaining blastocysts to science, and are starting a fresh round of IVF. Im currently on B/C due to start injections by the beginning of Feb. My fingers are crossed, my prayers have been prayed, Im just hopeful that this year ends with a baby of our very own. I just wanted to share my story, because I am where or have been where so many of you are. Trying to conceive for years, finding out you have male and female fertility issues, surgeries and procedures, fertility treatments, hundreds of doctor appointments, miscarriages, BFN, I over stimulated on the first cycle of IFV, failed FETs… you name it and I’ve been there. We took a year off (last FET was JAN 13) just to regroup and get our minds off of things. I’m feeling so much better now mentally. I start meds today for a fresh IVF cycle. Good luck to all of you out there!
