Secondary IF

Is this my new home?

I've been unexplained IF since we started in 2008. We had our little boy in November 2011 on an injectibles/IUI cycle and we've never prevented since then.  I just scheduled an appointment with the RE so that we can get started (I need to see them so they can get me medicine to start AF).  Is it considered secondary IF if I had IF to begin with or is this just for people who had successful first pregnancies on their own and have troubles now?
 TTC #1 since June 2008
M/C @ 6 weeks 12/31/2008, Ectopic @ 6 weeks on 4/23/2010
Diagnosed Unexplained 11/2009-DH is fine-I don't get AF
Cycle #22 - 1/27/11 - IUI #1 & Injections - BFP! - DS born 11/11/11

Re: Is this my new home?

  • I also had primary infertility. I think this board is for people who have a child (or 2) but are having issues with getting pregnant again. Some of the ladies here had zero issues the first time around but, not all :)

    Welcome and good luck.

  • Welcome and good luck!
  • Hello!  I too have a Fall '11 baby boy!  

    I've always technically had IF-- the hubs and I were never really preventing in the 8 years we dated before getting married.  By the grace of the good lord, I didn't get pregnant until AFTER I was married-- my father would have had a fit if it had been otherwise ;)

    Welcome.  You are among friends here.  
  • Welcome and good luck!

    I TTC for 3 cycles with DD, who will be 3 on Monday.  This time around, we've been TTC #2 for 19 months.  I'm starting my second cycle of clomid today.  If this cycle doesn't work out, we are taking a break for a month (maybe 2) to mentally recharge. 

    Married 12.9.06

    DD born 1.6.11

    TTC #2 since 7.12

  • Welcome.  It took me 2.5 years to conceive my son, so we started ttc again after he was born as soon as I was cleared.  That was nine months ago.  But, I want to be an extended BF'er, so my options are limited for the time being. 

    Lots of stories here and many different levels of intervention going on.  The information shared here is invaluable (not to mention the emotional support, too).  

    Hope your stay is short.
    Happily Mrs. C
