Success after IF

Can I get a show of hands...

Hi there! I typically post over on the IF board but I lurk over here when I need encouragement. I'm currently in need of a pick-me up! Can I get a show of hands of how many of you conceived during your first IVF cycle? We are getting ready to start next month and I'm just really emotional about it and nervous that it won't work.

TIA!

**Loss Mentioned**

Me:34 DH:36
Married: 4/8/12
DX: PCOS/MFI


IVF #1 - April 2013 - BFP - Twin Miscarriage at 9 wks

FET#1 - June 2014 - BFN

IVF #2 - October 2014 - BFN - one frozen

IVF #3 - Coming October 2015!

**PAIF/SAIF Welcome**

Re: Can I get a show of hands...

  • I did!  We did 2 clomid cycles and 2 IUIs first that were all BFNs.   For TTC #2 our 2nd FET worked but I have issues with crappy lining so I think that is why the first one failed.

    2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
    TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
    Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14

  • Me! We conceived DD with our first IVF cycle.

    It's an emotional roller coaster, and you have every right to be nervous. Just hang on tight and take it a day at a time.
