Success Stories Needed

Hi all. I struggled with infertility for two years before getting pregnant with my beautiful baby boy. I now have a close friend who has had 4 miscarriages. She is going through round two of IVF and her spirits are low. I was hoping to collect some success stories to pass along to her during the two week wait. If you are willing to share your story or some words of encouragement it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. 

I did see the post below and I went ahead and posted. I fully recognize your facts and circumstances are different than hers. I'm just looking for stories from those of us who have made it past the struggle and know that all the sadness that IF brings is so worth it in the end.

Re: Success Stories Needed

  • After 18 months of BFNs, we got a BFP the cyle after our HSG during our initial workup. That ended in m/c and d&c. We then backed away from IF treatments because we thought "Oh hey we got this now." A year later we had a chemical that only made it to 5.5 weeks. We did two IUIs with BFNs. We were still technically "unexplained" going into our first IVF. Then we got the phone call that we had a zero fertilization rate. They did rescue ICSI and we got a BFP and a baby at 39 weeks 2 days. It can all go wrong, and end right. Best of luck to her!
