New to the IVF - *Prior loss

Hi all. Been TTC for some time now. I started with IUI cycles last year and just last week started IVF treatments. My cycle was canceled because I only had one follicle that was mature. I will be doing IUI instead on Sunday.
My first IUI (only clomid) attempt was one year ago and was successful but then miscarried. We tried three more IUI's but all were unsuccessful. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience?
Hoping you all continue to be hopeful and will have a successful journey! xoxo As all of us TTC-ers it can be rough some days.

    Welcome. Sorry to hear about your loss. I bet a cancelled cycle feels so frustrating. A lot of times you just need a different protocol and your next IVF cycle will produce more follicles and eggs.

    DH: 38   dx: normal
    Endometrioma removed from left ovary 4/'09

    April '14 IUI w/clomid BFN 
    May '14 IUI w/clomid BFN

    IVF #1 July '14, 4R/4M/3F   2 8 cells transferred on day 3, nothing made it to freeze, BFN 
    IVF #2 Nov '14 EPP stimmed for 12 days 9R/4M/4F   2 7 cells transferred on day 3, nothing to freeze, BFN

    Hugs. Most of us here are still trying for the first BFP that sticks so can't give you too many success stories. Good luck!
    Ready to take the road less traveled.

    I have no advice, as I'm still TTC#1. I have never turned a test positive yet. I'm sorry for your loss. Welcome to the board

    Why do they need to wait so long for the egg quality to be improved?

    I'm so sorry you find yourself here. These are terrific group of strong & supportive women.

    I am TTC#1 as well, going into a ER cycle in September. I wish you & everyone here all the best!

    DH :  36, has Chronic Kidney Disease, on dialysis & is waiting on the transplant list (average wait for B+ is 5 years)

    Me:   36, Hypothyroidism, PCOS, BMI 32, need to be done with "child bearing" ASAP so that I can be a Kidney donor (was fun realizing we didn't as much time as we thought :-/ )

    We're TTC#1

    IUI #1 : 5mcg Letrozole (CD 3-7) + Ovidrel Trigger + Had the one follicle = BFN  (March 2014)

    IUI #2 : 5mcg Letrozole (CD 3-7) + 150 iu Bravelle on CD9 (after much begging!) + Had the one follicle = BFN (April 2014)

    7th May 2014 - changed REs, this one seems to care (we think....)

    IUI #3 : 7mcg Letrozole (CD 3- 7) + 75 iu Bravelle (CD 8-12) + CD12 Scan 5/16 + Had 3 follicles (2 under 15mm) = BFN(May 2014)

    IUI #4 : 7mcg Letrozole (CD 3- 7) + 75 iu Bravelle (CD 8-12) + CD12 Scan 5/16 + Had 1 follicle + DH gave best sample so far = BFN(June 2014)

    IVF#1 -  ER Only Cycle Sept-Oct 2014, 17  eggs Retrieved, 14 mature, 10 fertilized, 6 made it to Blast & post PGS  5 were not viable due to chromosomal abnormalities
    Not sure where we go from here...

    We're parents to two very adorable, bratty, affectionate & goofy Bernese Mountain Dog pups who would very much like a 2 legged baby brother or sister of their own!
