After waiting almost a YEAR, we are beginning our first (and hopefully only) IVF cycle with my next period. I am thrilled and scared to death.
MFI and (now) AMA IVF 1 April 2011 - Cancelled IVF 1.5 July 2011 - MC IVF 2 October 2011 - BFP! *Identical Twin Boys born June 2012* Here we go again...IVF 3 is underway!
I am on CD 5, so on my third day of gonal-f shots. I over stimulated last cycle (my first on injectables), so I am only on 37.5. Praying that this cycle will be different than the last! Good luck to everyone!
November 2011: after nearly two years of infertility, we are moving on to domestic infant adoption.
February 2012: Matched!
May 2012: Placed with our son!
I am not cycling right now. I have been saving for IVF, recently went to my credit union to inquire about a loan, were able to refi our cars and pull out the "equity." I will be calling later this week to set up IVF. I believe I will be starting birth control in the next few weeks. Hooray!

PAIF/SAIF Always welcome!
Just curious to see where people are in their fight against IF.
Are you cycling? Will start stimming for IVF #2 on 4/23
Sitting out? No rest for the wicked!!
Looking into options? One track IVF mind....
2ww? Not yet, dreading the 2ww....
I am AMA and all tests on H came back normal
3 failed IVF with OE and 2 failed frozen DE cycles
Last fresh hail mary DE cycle starting Feb 2013
PAIF/SAIF always welcome
We are moving on with adoption!! I cannot tell you how happy this makes me, I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I once again have something to look forward to.
Planning on talking with a friend who has started the process in our area- And we'll save $, and hopefully start next year....
I am currently in the 2ww, but I just can't make myself feel too optimistic about it. I honestly expect another BFN.
This was our last IUI for a few months. We have been TTC for 2 years and felt that we need to take a little time for ourselves. We will be taking a vacation and enjoying the spring/early summer. We will come back to treatment in July-Aug. Unless of course we get a miracle BFP from this IUI!

TTC #1
Dx PCOS
2009 Apr, Aug, and Sept tried clomid cycles.... BFN. Oct...DH SA results were normal. Me...HSG - left tube was clear, right tube was slightly blocked. Dec - Clomid #4 200mg
Feb 2010 - IUI #1 200mg Clomid = BFN. June 2010 - IUI #2 200mg Clomid = BFN. March 2011 - IUI #3 w/ injectables = BFN (1st & last with RE, moving on to IVF). July 2011 - consult for IVF. Sept 2011, 1st IVF. Got our BFP on 10/2/11. Became a mom on 5/5/12 to a beautiful baby boy!
I am on my last natural cycle CD 8. We are hoping it might work this time... This is the third cycle since my Dh's SA went up to normal. If not, we start clomid + IUI at the end of April.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -Philo
Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.
