  I don't really have any pointers -- those sperm are the ones who control everything but here's hoping they do their thing!  Good luck.

  I hope all goes well for her.
  
  I have debated responding to your post and I want to share why. I have noticed that you have dropped in over the past several months to ask a question or two and ask for support. From what I have seen, you have received a lot from us, but nothing has been given back. Not even a thank you for our responses/taking the time to respond. It seems like you post and then disappear until you post again. We are a very supportive community here. It is nice when support that is given is acknowledged and when that support is also reciprocal.
  
  Please consider joining our community and posting regularly so that we can get to know you and your journey. We would be happy to have you as a regularly posting member. Our TTC Check-In is every Monday. You are welcome to post there and let us know where in the journey you are, and of course switch over to the Pregnancy Check-In when you get that coveted BFP!
  
  These are my thoughts and I don't intend to represent the thoughts/feelings of others on the board.

  Me: 30  DW (aka C): 29

  Together since 2/15/11 ~ Legally married in NY on 9/29/12

  ***CP mentioned***

  We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm.  8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy.  We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET.  I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013. 

  11/14/14 -  Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good. 

  12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2

  12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)

  1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2

   ****All Welcome!****

  We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.

  I have responded - giving supprt to others as will- but with remarks like those I will no longer be apart of the forms. Sorry you didn't see them but reporting isn't a requirement. Some people post when worried not all are full of words to respond back with. Thanks for making me not want to be a part of this!

  I don't think @StacyLH24 said anything out of line at all.  You're right, reporting isn't a requirement at all on public forums, there's no police - just a community.  We have a pretty great community here, and if you want to join, and tell us a bit about yourself and who you are, that would be great - because this community really is more than the sum of it's information.   I'm sure people will always drive-by post in many forums, and if that's how you want to interact with the message boards that's cool -- any I'm sure people will respond, but I think what Stacy was trying to say is that you'll probably get richer responses if you give us a chance to get to know you, and get to know us as well.  
  
  Otherwise, as my siggie says, IUIs weren't successful for us for a multitude of reasons.   I think my best suggestion would be to just try to take it a day at a time, and remember that there is always another cycle, another month, and another option around the corner.   Try not to get too attached to one "plan", that may not work - but you will find others.    I have spent more time grieving failed "plans" and "potentials" in this TTC/IF process than anything else, looking back I sort of wished I had been able to focus more on the end goal of having a family, rather than how I thought I should/would happen.

  I don't want anyone to feel like they can't pop into our group. Sometimes it can be difficult when people come and go because this group does tend to feel close. This is a stressful journey but no one is expected to respond and I am sure we have all posted something that has not gotten the response we wanted. We are a specialized community, and in-fighting can be detrimental to our morale...not very many people understand the struggle that TTCing while in a same sex relationship causes so I think its important that we stick together as much as possible. @ads252, I encourage you to stick around!

  Queer coupled and having a BABY with the love of my life! Love my life and wouldn't have it any other way!
