Hello There

Well it's official.  I have made the jump from the Knot, TTGP, TTTC, Infertility and now here.  I hope that you'll allow me to join you.

 Backstory - we will hit the 2 year TTC mark this July.  We started out like everybody else does, but noticed pretty quickly that my cycles were getting longer and I wasn't getting pregnant.  After 6 months I went to my OB who gave me clomid, monitored, but not much testing.  I forgive him, because he eventually did all of the tests.  Clear HSG, and great sperm, though not awesome morphology. 

We did 3 clomid tries withTI/ IUI before we moved to the big guns.  We then started follistim, which we tried 3 times as well.  Really good at making follicles and cysts, not so great at making babies.

We started our IVF journey in November of 2012.  After 9 days of stims, I triggered on day 10.  They retrived 27 eggs and we ended up with 9 embryos.  We transferred one on day 5 and got pregnant but had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks (trisomy 14). In April we did a FET with 2 blasts that ended up in a c/p. Although we have 6 blasts left, we wanted to increase the odds and our shared risk program allowed us 2 additional fresh cycles. 

So here I am now, on day 5 of stims.  I just had my first monitoring appt (after baseline obviously).  I have 25 small, but a small amount of fluid in my lining which never happens.

Anyway, if you made it to the end of this post I am very impressed.  Is it ok if I hang out here?

    Hi Andy! I remember when you joined the IF board. I'm sorry for your loss and that you're still waiting for a sticky LO! One thing we ask is that the board is not joined mid-cycle. Hopefully you will move from IF to PAIF (& stay there!) and won't need us! Wink Best of luck for this cycle!!

    Totally understandable!  Sorry about that!  I guess I can understand why. 

    Good luck to all of you.  Let's meet up at PAIF soon!
