None that I'm aware of, but I also didn't open up about our infertility struggles to my family. I come from a large, Catholic family where everyone has lots of kids. My own siblings have had no trouble getting pg. Ironically the only other person on either sides of our family who have had IF is my husband's sister... who's adopted!
My mom struggled with IF for 8 years to conceive me (including two straight years on clomid). She has PCOS and endo, which she conveniently never told me until about a week after my m/c. Ugh.
Six years of infertility and loss, four IUIs, one IVF and one very awesome little boy born via med-free birth 10.24.13.
My late mother started going through early menopause at 35. I didnt remember until I was diagnosed with DOR when I was 34.
TTC#1 since October 2010
