Success after IF
So when are you having another one?
It is starting already. We have been to three different one year old birthday parties in the last two months. Everyone is talking about trying for number 2. {{{sigh}}} I am so grateful to have a healthy little girl. I hate IF... never goes away! My mom asked today when we went shopping if I have to go through all the treatments again to have another. My response was I hope not but if nothing happens by December we will be back at the RE. Part of me also thinks researching adoption is also a possibiliy.
After 2 years TTC with mild endo and an elevated FSH. We were successful with our second IUI after Lap surgery. Our daughter born 12/2009. Currently trying for #2. IUI#1-miscarriage, IUI #2-BFN, IUI #3- BFP

Re: So when are you having another one?
We would have to do IVF again for next baby. I hated it, but we have frosties for next round so hopefully it will not be as bad as a fresh cycle. Ideally I would like to have LOs at least 2 years apart, but with me turning 34 this year and the cost of frosties storage, I think we'll try FET when LO turns 1 year next December... if first FET is successful, then they'll be 18-19 months apart, so not quite 2 years apart.
IVF #1: ER 03/29/10; ET 04/01/10: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 (9dp3dt)- 45; Beta #2 (11dp3dt)- 91= BFP
FET#1: ET 04/18/12: transferred 4 embies; Beta #1: >2 = BFN
IVF #2: ER 06/20/12; ET 6/25/12: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 on 7/5/12= BFN
8/16: hysteroscopy for polyp removal
11/11: hysteroscopy #2 for yet another polyp removal
FET#2: ET 12/15/12: transferred 3 embies; Beta #1 (9dp5dt): 12/24/12: 426; Beta #2 (11dp5dt): 845= BFP
u/s 1/9= triplets!; miscarried all three on 1/10/13...
my eggs suck, so no frosties for me.
DH and I actually had this conversation last week. Our plan right now is to nurse/EBM for a full year. Once Smudge is weaned, we'll be right back at the RE. So, hopefully that will be at the 1 year mark. Our only option is to cycle again.
Then again, although the odds are MINISCULE, like beyond miniscule and ridiculously low. Less than less than 1%... we're planning on using infertility as birth control once Smudge is born, so if we get a miracle baby in that first year, we'll have no problem at all with having 2 under 2.

After 2 failed IVF's we have no frosties- I have no desire at least now or ever go back to the RE. Once DD's adoption is final I need to just "be" for awhile. If in 4 or 5 years we want another one- we would condider adopting again, but right now DH and I are bothing thinking one and done.
There is the possibility I could get pg naturally- so if that happenes great- if not that's okay to. I could totally have one and spoil her rotten! HAHA!
After the twins were born I knew I wanted another baby and didn't want to wait because I had IVF coverage (thought i was going to lose it within a year of that but i didn't and i still currently have it) so I went back when the twins were 2 months for a consult and was cycling the next month! I do have a few frozen from my cycle with the twins but since I had the coverage I hoped that i would be able to have a few more frozen so if it didn't work I had more to fall back on! Well it worked and brady came along 1 year and 2 weeks after the twins were born! I had no frozen from that cycle.
We are now back at the RE and gearing up to start again! We always wanted 4 kids but I if this round of fresh cyle doesn't work than we might use our three frosties!
