Hey all,

I was browsing the net today because I am stuck in bed tonight (damn sore throat came out of nowhere) and I found the article where Jimmy Fallon shares about his 5 year journey. I found it uplifting because he mentions to all going through this to hang in there. Here is the article https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/jimmy-fallon-wife-had-awful-5-year-fertility-struggle-before-using-surrogate-2013138. Enjoy!!

    I had no idea that they had struggled with IF. I love that he is being open about discussing it!

    ** After  2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle of     Mini IVF! **

    I saw a segment of the interview on NBC Nightly News tonight.  When he said "...but if there's anyone out there who is trying and they're just losing hope . . . just hang in there...'cause you'll get there. You'll end up with a family, and it's so worth it. It is the most 'worth it' thing."  I just lost it, started crying.  I'm really glad he was open and talked about the crappy infertility aspect of it.
    Baby girl N born 10/29/14!

    Thanks so much for sharing - I had no idea!
    30 yrs, healthy & TTC since April 2010 
    DH 32yrs & healthy
    *unexplained infertility* 

    Regularly access alternative medicine to supplement a lack of resources in our geographical area.
    • Three rounds of clomid (50mg days 3-7) were useless.
    • IUI#1 w/clomid & HCG in May 2013, BFN.
    • IUI#2 w/clomid & HCG on July 23rd. BFN.
    • IUI #3 in August cancelled last minute, due to lab error.
    • IVF#1 - Started Gonal F stims October 13 2013 for IUI. Over-responded with too many follicles, so converted to IVF. Retrieval October 29th - got 5 eggs, 4 fertilized. Had 2 perfect little embryos transferred on day 3 (Nov. 1). The remaining 2 didn't survive to freeze. Got our BFN on November 13th 2013.
    • IVF#2 - Started stims August 21st. Triggered with Suprefact, started on dostinex due to risk of OHSS. Retrieval September 5th - got 27 eggs! 21 embryos on day 3. Embryos deteriorated quickly. ESet 5day blast on Sept 10. No embryos high enough quality to freeze. BFN came Sept. 22.

    Reserved a semi-known proven donor in August .

    Waiting for consult/screening and protocols with estimated fresh cycle timing in October
