Kiki11 · July 2011

I'm Christine, 30 years old. I've been married for 4 years, but we've been together for 11. After several losses, our 5th IVF cycle finally brought us our miracle son. He was the singleton out of a quadruplet pregnancy that included identical triplets. But we lost the triplets before the end of the 1st trimester. Our little fighter was born at 25 weeks and had a hard road in the NICU for 4 months. He still has several medical complications that we deal with on a daily basis and it is exhausting, but we are grateful every day for him. He is the happiest baby I've ever met and he always has huge smiles for us. Currently I am a SAHM, but I am trying to find something part-time soon. While I love being home with him, and though his medical needs sort of necessitate me being home, we do need a second income. With my little guy keeping me so busy, I lurk more than I post right now, though I was once a regular on the IF board.

igh0318 · July 2011

Hi! I'm Kim and I'm 38 y/o. DH & I have been together for 20 years and married for 9 of those. We have an amazing little boy from FET #2. I am a SAHM. That wasn't the original plan but I was laid off the day before we started IVF and I took that as sign. Now I get to spend every day with my little man.

We're hoping to do another FET later this year.

CardsfanSM · July 2011

I'm Stacey...not sure if I qualify as lurker or newbie, lol.

I am Julie, and am a newly minted 30 year old. Married 6 years, with two IVF miracles. Our almost 14 month old Anna and another on the way this winter. As my screen name implies, we live in Chicago, and appear to be crazy enough to think we can have two babies in a 2/2 condo. Wish us luck. I enjoy being a SAHM and putting too much coffeemate in my coffee.

I started on TTTC back in 2007 and got my BFP in April of 2009 on our "hail Mary" cycle before doing IVF. I SAH with my sweet DS Bennett which has made it hard to post regularly. But I often lurk to see how everyone is doing and respond when I can!

SeaSoul · July 2011

I'm late to this, but I'm SeaSoul, came to the IF (then TTTC) board in the winter of '07 when we got our diagnosis of azoospermia (no sperm). Then took a break of almost a year, b/c we decided to postpone TTC. Came back in winter of '08 and that's when our son was conceived - through IUI and donor sperm. He was born in December '08. Currently pregnant with #2, who was conceived the same way, though from a different donor (ran out of remaining sperm we had from donor #1). I'm due again in December!

Happy to talk with anyone about azoospermia, donor sperm, advanced maternal age (LO was conceived when I was 39, and I was 40 at his birth; am currently 42 and will be 43 at birth (unless s/he's is early!), natural birth, attachment parenting, and breastfeeding.

GuitaristsGirl · July 2011

Love this!

I'm 31 and have been married to my college sweetheart for 6 years, together for 11. I have a 16-month-old son, and a 3-month-old daugher (1 year and 3 weeks apart!) who keep me on my toes!! Both were conceived without assistance and are the absolute light of my life.

Before them, we TTC'd for 2+ years and conceived boy/girl twins via IUI with injectibles. They were born still when I developed HELLP Syndrome/ severe preeclampsia at 20 weeks. We miss them every day and are now active with the Preeclampsia Foundation. I was dx'ed with clotting disorders and was able to carry my living son and daughter to 37 weeks with the help of Lovenox and an awesome MFM.

I am a civil litigator but am currently reevaluating things since I work way too many hours, and am starting to get tired of fighting with people for a living

I have PCOS, DS was conceived on a break cycle after 4 failed clomid attempts and 2 failed follistim for IUI attempts, we were gearing up for our IVF consult.

Eric is an airplane mechanic for a major airline, he was laid off when DS was 3-4months old and started back 1/2 time in January, hopefully he'll be full-time soon but he has full benefits right now so that's what counts.

I love trashy TV, magazines and not cleaning my house. I'll cook or bake anything if I don't have to clean up the mess.

Lurker here.

My name is Jess (27) and my DH (31) and I just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on Tuesday and are so blessed to have our 2 month old DD through IVF due to MFI.

She is sleeping on my chest as I type this one handed and cannot get over how precious and beautiful she is.

I go back to work part-time (3 days a week) in September and already scared about how much I will miss her, but thankful my mom and MIL will be watching her.

ChiTown Bridget · July 2011

Hi All,

I'm Bridget. I am 35 years old and live in the Chicago Suburbs. I only lurk here now but I was on the IF board back in 09. I suffer from unexplained IF and have had 5 m/c's and one failed ivf. I got a surprise bfp in March of 2010 a few months before getting ready to start ivf #2 which resulted in my baby boy Mason who is now almost 9 months. I quit my job as a Medical Assistant to stay at home and I am loving every minute of it.

chosner82 · July 2011

I'm Connie. I'm 29 and live in Michigan. I've been a long time lurker, but (I think) I've posted a few times here and there on the IF board. We went through many TI/clomid cycles, 1 IUI, 1 IVF. Our daughter, Maggie, was born on January 21, 2011and is the result of a FET cycle.

I work as an office manager for 1/2 the year, and I'm a SAHM for 1/2 the year. Right now we're not trying and not preventing, but we will be thrilled if I'm able to get pregnant without intervention this time around. I have PCOS, so it would be nice to not have to go through IVF again. We do have 2 embryos left, so if need be, we will try again when Maggie is 2.

Nice to "meet" all of you!

SweetBijou · July 2011

I'm late to the party! I'm Melanie, 37, and I'm mostly a lurker. I used to post frequently on IF. We have 10 month twin boys thanks to IVF. My diagnosis--endometriosis and family history of early menopause. I live outside the DC area and have been married for two years.

Bel4780 · July 2011

maybride00 · July 2011

Hi I am Michele, 36---totally a lurker hence no signature. I have always been afraid to post because I see how some of the boards are....this one looks like a good group of girls! DH will be 40 next week. We have been married 11 years together 16. We have an energetic 2 year named Matthew thanks to Metformin, Clomid and TI. I work for a real estate developer/property management company.

We TTC for 3 years only to find out I had endometriosis and PCOS. I had a lap done in Oct 2007, found out I was pregnant in July 08 only for it to end in a M/C on my DH's birthday. Found out again in Oct 08 I was pregnant with Matthew, started PIO shots and never really got to enjoy the pregnancy 1) waiting for the other shoe to drop and 2) it seem to go so fast.

I hope to be more active on the board, I do read it every day while at lunch though!

emiannie · July 2011

I'm Emily. I'm married to Brad and Miles is our only son (for now). I have PCOS and tried for 18 months to conceive Miles...using clomid, femara, Metformin and IVF. IVF failed and we got pregnant the following cycle while I was still taking my Metformin. You could say I was surprised.

I'm 30 years old this year. I work in marketing for a commercial real estate firm. My real passion is photography and graphic design. I'm not athletic AT ALL. I love jammin' to good random music and I love, love, love movies.

Ok, I think that 'bout sums me up.
