Screen name: boats98 First name (if you are comfortable sharing it): Erin Diagnosis: PCOS, Adenomyosis, MFI (low numbers, morph 0%-1%) Treatment used to get your BFP(s): IVF w/ ICSI How far along are you/how old is your LO: 38 wks, 3 days Any other info you care to share with us: It took us 33 months to get here and we are extremely grateful! After being told by three different RE's that surrogacy was our best bet (due to my uterine issue), and going into IVF with a lower success rate (about 30%), we are still in shock that we will finally be parents very soon! I'd like to thank everyone here (new and old), as I found the TTTC board early on (March '07), but never had anything to contribute as we had only started our journey and had many deviations along the way for various reasons. Your collective knowledge and experience always gave me hope to continue to move forward and be an advocate for myself throughout the process. You are an inspiring group! Thank you!

I can't usually go on much during the work day, so I usually come on at night and will reply to a post if I feel like it's something I can help with or to offer support. But I don't post a ton, so I'm sure no one would recognize me Another piece of info is that I'm on modified bed rest for a short cervix. I'm working from home and just taking it easy on the couch. Oh and last, thanks to everyone on this board for being so helpful and supportive - I honestly learn so much from reading posts on here!

Diagnosis - unexplained IF
Treatment used to get your BFP(s): this is our first cycle: clomid (days 5-9); HCG trigger; IUI on 1/14..... almost through 2ww
How far along are you/how old is your LO
Any other info you care to share with us: I still don't feel like I've fully processed IF, some days I have high hopes and view it was a stumbling block and surmountable; other days, I feel so hurt and scared! It's so hard, I've never failed at anything and I wish I had so I could deal with this better...
I should clarify that I don't yet belong to SAIF, but stalk this board for inspiration on my optimistic days!
