Tw- losses and children mentioned
Hello everyone. I am sorry we have to meet due to our circumstances, but am very glad for the supportive community this board is. I have been a member of TB for a couple of years and was very active on the Pregnant after IF board in 2015, my BMB, and a bit active still on this board whenever I feel I can offer any insight or positivity.
A little background on me. We got married and immediately started trying for a baby. We got pregnant a few months into our marriage and sadly suffered our first mc. Fast forward a few years and we eventually wound up with an RE, a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, and 2 failed iuis under our belts. We moved on to IVF, ended up with 5 embryos, did a fresh transfer with 2, one took, it split, we heard heartbeats, and then at the next appt heard no heartbeats. Apparently, the embryo didn't split correctly and neither could survive it. Several months after that loss we did our first FET with 2 of the remaining embryos, both took, and we currently have 20 month old twin blessings. We are beginning the process to expand our family and have our welcome back consultation at the end of September to discuss what needs to happen for our next FET.
Last go around I didn't realize this group existed and this time, I would love to give and receive support from those who get it. Don't get me wrong, our family and friends are great, but it's definitely one of those things where if you haven't been there, you don't fully know the struggle.
Anyways, I just wanted to write a quick blurb about me before jumping in randomly on more discussions. Thanks for taking the time to read!

Re: Re-intro. TW
After a 4 years of trying and learning of severe MFI, we are in our first round of IUI after learning IVF wouldn't be an option for us (without a sperm donor) so we are here. Hopefully we have success with IUI and don't end up considering/financing IVF again.
These meds are kicking my butt! Did not go through morning sickness with my first child (she is 10) and these meds are making me pray that a second bean doesn't give this constant nausea. Blah.
I have a terrible memory and have no recollection of what the iui meds did to me, so I'm sorry I can't be any help there.
