Update on a veteran: Pregnancy Mentioned

in Secondary IF

Hi, ladies! I don't know most of you as I quit this board about a year ago after our one and only IVF chance failed. It's been a crazy year and after 20 pounds, 5 months of Prozac, a lot of thinking, and a big decision to stop feeling sorry for myself, my husband and I decided to try again.

He finally saw a urologist and was scheduled to have a vericocele repair surgery when I found out I was pregnant. It took us 2.5 years, 33 cylces, 3 with Clomid, 2 with Follistim/IUI and one IVF to get us a spontaneous pregnancy. We are overjoyed and cautiously optimistic as it is still VERY early.

This board meant so much to me and I'm still in close contact with several friends I've made on here. This place can offer a lot of comfort. I hope and pray that all of you get your BFPs soon. And I hope I can proudly call myself a graduate in 9 months. Thanks, ladies! 

Conceived DD after 15 cycles--- TTC #2 since 11/10---Me- Poor egg quality and supply---DH- Poor count and motility---2 rounds 75IU Follistim/IUI-BFN---5/12 150IU Follistim/IUI-Over-produced! Converted to IVF! 0 fertilized:( Rescue ICSI performed. 2 embryos transfered-BFN

    OMG - this made my day!  I have not been on this board much since you were a regular but popped back in yesterday with a question about IVF.  I am beyond thrilled to see such wonderful news from you.  I'll continue to keep you in my prayers
    DD conceived naturally in 2009.  TTC #2 since August 2010.  Praying for guidance as we decide what's next.

    When the world says, "Give up,"

    Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
