Can I be a slight AW?

Twinkie0612 · November 2013

Everyone here was so nice when I made my BFP post last month (which unfortunately ended in a c/p), that I am going to impose on your generosity again. My husband and I are looking at our third OOP IVF in January, which will pretty much wipe out our savings. Our clinic is currently hosting a video journal contest and is giving away a free cycle of IVF to the winner (actually two winners, one for primary IF and one for secondary IF). I made a video and entered us into the contest, but now we need votes. Normally this is the type of thing people would post on FB, but since we are not "out" to all of our family and friends, I am turning to my online friends for help.

If you are interested in watching our video the link is in my blog or if you PM me I can send you the link.

Voting ends December 2nd and you can only vote once per IP address.

TIA. I really appreciate all of the support I have found on these boards.

Thanks I'll take the link out and it is in my blog. Someone had told me contests were ok.

I will be glad to vote for you. Is it ok if you send me a pm to tell me how? I'm always mobile but I will go get on my computer to try to figure it out.

I voted for you. It made me sad to see the list of names, though. I wish all of those people could become parents. Your video brought back a lot of memories for me. It's very easy to have infertility amnesia once you resolve, but I try to recall what it was like to be in your shoes and remember just how gut wrenching it really is. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you get to be a mama soon.

That is one thing I hate about this contest. There are so many (very deserving) couples in this contest, I wish everyone could win.

I voted!

I couldn't find the answer to this question, what's the difference between primary and secondary?

Thank you. Generally Primary infertility is when you experience infertility while TTC your first and Secondary IF is when you experience infertility after already being able to conceive. So under this definition, I will always be primary infertility because I experienced infertility TTC my first.

My clinic is using a different definition. They are grouping people without any children as primary and people with children (even if they were conceived with the help of fertility treatments) as secondary infertility.

Watched this video with my DH and we were both in tears. We have been trying for 13 months and going to do some testing/explore options in the new year. We voted from home and will vote from all the other computers we use. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!

Your story is inspiring to others not to give up. I am still in tears even after I voted. Since it is by IP address I will also be going on my other computer to vote a second time. I wish you all the best and I hope you win this.
