I have been lurking around the sight for about a week or so to see what it is all about. I wasn't a big board follower on theknot but figured this one could help.
I have been married for 3 years come August. My DH,32, and I,30, have been trying for over a year and at the year mark, April, we decided to go see an RE. We have done all the tests (SA, bloodwork, hysteroscopy) and it is a MIF. We are moving straight to IVF this month because IUI would not be an option.
I am glad that there are girls out there to help support each other through these times. Thanks for all the great post I have been reading.
Re: Intro
Welcome, but sorry you have to be here. Hope it is a short stay.
We're also getting ready for our first IVF cycle, but not until August. We have unexplained IF, but IUI x 4 haven't worked for us. Hopefully IVF will do the trick for you and me! Good luck!
