Another intro....

I have come and gone frequently here, but am feeling like I'd like to stay a while. About me: I have a 4 year old daughter who my DW birthed. She is wonderful and I am ever so grateful for her. I have always wanted to be pregnant but bc my DW was older we decided she would get pregnant first. My part of the journey has been everything but easy. I've had 8 unsuccessful iuis ( using same donor as my daughter). I was pregnant once and miscarried and had 1 chemical pregnancy. My mother very kindly offered to help and I just did my 1st ivf cycle - miscarried at 6 weeks. We are due to try one last time but I'm really struggling with coping with the fact that this really isn't going to work. It's hard to come to terms with the fact that life may not look the way I wanted. Anyway, thx for reading.... Hoping to stay a while!
Iui #1 = unmedicated = bfn. Iui # 2 = clomid 50 mg = bfn. Iui # 3 = clomid 50 mg = bfn. Iui # 4 = unmedicated = bfn. Iui # 5 = unmedicated = bfp - miscarriage at 5 wks. Iui #6 = nov 2012 = gonal f 75, endotrim 100= chemical pregnancy/bfn

    Welcome back. I am so sorry for your losses. The journey of TTC and grow our families is so challenging and can be unfair and sometimes down right cruel. I hope that your next IVF cycle brings you a heathy sibling for your daughter.

    Please feel free to join our Parenting check-in and TTC check-in on Mondays. This board has been a huge source of support for me -I hope you find it is for you too. :-)

    Oy vey. Losses are so rough, and agreed that it makes trusting that anything will work nearly impossible. I'm so sorry for all your troubles ttc.

    I find myself relying on those around me to hold onto the hope I can't find. So I'll hold some of your hope for you! Welcome back!

    I am so sorry you have suffered loss. I do understand the stress and issues that come along with this process, but this board is quite cathartic. I hope your wife is a great support system for you and that everything comes up the way you would like!  Best of luck
