Late Term and Child Loss

How many were pregnant with their angels after IF?

Just wondered how many of you here were pregnant after battling with IF.  For me it was Secondary IF.  If you plan to TTCAL, are you already worried about having to go through that all over again?

  • I've had multiple IVFs and 4 losses, the last one (Samantha) being the hardest because I was so far along and because I had been though so much previously. I think loss after IF is doubly cruel, and makes it so hard to think about going through all of it again. Sometimes I don't know whether I have it in me to do another cycle and wish it were as 'easy' as just having sex (although I know that is not without its worries either). But I'm planning to do it once more. If it doesn't work we will most likely move on to adoption, which is also a long involved process of a different sort, and I really, really wanted to be pregnant and give birth to a healthy live baby.

    ((HUGS)) 

    Dx: High FSH, stage IV endo, homozygous C677T MTHFR and PAI-1
    Early loss 10/08
    Lap 1/09
    IVF #1 "natural IVF" - 1 egg retrieved, missed m/c
    Tried several mini-stim cycles with no response
    Switched clinics - dx'd as carrier for Fragile X
    IVF #2 MDL protocol Jan/Feb converted to IUI, BFN
    IVF #2 take 2: Antagonist, one embie, BFN
    IVF #3: Antagonist, no fertilization
    One last ditch effort at OE IVF (antagonist with Clomid) cancelled
    DE cycle #1 Jan/Feb 2011, BFP, ectopic
    DE cycle #2 June/July 2011 - BFP
    10/28/11 Baby girl lost at 17 weeks due to pre-term labor. We love and miss you.
    DE cycle #3 June/July 2012 - BFP, twins, both heartbeats stopped, D&C
    2 frosties but don't know what's next
    FET Dec 2012: BFP! Praying this one sticks for the long haul!
  • We conceived IVF twins after two years of trying.. lost our first one at 9w5d and our little Hudson we lost exactly a week ago at 18 weeks. One of the biggest fears on my brain in the hospital was the thought of going through IVF all over again... it took us three fresh IVFs... and one frozen to get our little guy. I really hope that for some reason my body just figured out what it is supposed to do and things just happen.. but I fear that won't be the case... we're not going to be worrying about IVF for the summer though... just gonna enjoy the summer and see what happens...

  •  I had IVF twins and I have the same fears as you. We are giving it 3 months on our own and hoping that we will not need to go through IVF but if we do it will also be over the summer. Good luck!

    I wish you nothing but the best luck over the summer... as my husband has been saying... we're gonna enjoy our summer boating, drinking (in moderation of course... hehe) and having sex... I asked him if he was trying to make us act like teenagers again... and his response was 'what the hell' ... so ... enjoy your summer.. I'll prob be revisiting ivf in Aug/Sept if needed... but I'm praying not...  Just wish I had an answer for my PROM... they sent the placenta out so I'm kinda hoping that shows something...

  • We TTC Eliott for 13 cycles.  I was always worried after that we would have trouble again, and I was right.  I'm still trying 17 cycles later.
    Mom to Eliott Alexander, born sleeping at 37 weeks on 8/13/10. Most of us only dream of angels - I held one in my arms.
    BFP #2 - EDD 2/26/12 M/C 6/28/11 @ 5w2d
    BFP #3 - EDD 4/7/12 M/C 8/2/11 @ 4w2d
    Too beautiful for this earth
    BFP #4 - EDD 12/09/12, Lucille arrived 11/26/12
  • We also had IVF and it worked on the first try. I thought I was the luckiest, having twins after one try, I was wrong :-(. I wish we could just have sex and get pregnant. My hubby doesn't wanna try IVF again this year but I'll try to convince him to do it again after the summer. For now, I'll get my tubes checked once again and will visit the clinic once again this year :-(
  • We tried on our own for two years then four IUIs - we got pregnant our first ivf cycle.  I agree - that we are back at square one is tough.  We do have several embryos for a FET - so im praying that works.  Right now the thought of all the ups and downs emotionally that come with each cycle is exhausting to think about.

  • It is cruel, not only you lose your baby/babies but you also know you cannot get pregnant on your own, I keep thinking that i'm getting punished for something, life is certainly not fair, I know I could have been the best mom to my babies but now they are gone :-(
