Hello. I thought it was time to introduce myself here. I am a regular poster on the IF board. I am 30, DH is 29, we have been TTC since June 2011. I was recently diagnosed with Factor V Leiden and MTHFR, after RPL testing. I have done 2 IVFs with my own eggs. For IVF #1 we got 9 eggs of which only 4 were mature and we ended up with 2 embryos, both were transferred and I m/c'd at just under 6 weeks (I also had a previous loss the year before at just under 6 weeks as well). IVF #2 I was put on a lot more meds, with even worse results. Only 3 eggs/2 mature/ 2 embryos transferred/ BFN. At our WTF appointment in August our doctor did not want to do another IVF with my own eggs, so he suggested using donor eggs. So here we are. We have our donor selected and our finances in order. We are scheduled for DE IVF in January. Good luck, everyone!

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
