  This news is heartbreaking. There are so many things I want to say. I'll leave it at that I hope your RE and Dr KK can find why it isn't working and then work on fixing it. After our second IVF failed it lit a fire in us and made us determined to get to the bottom of the problem.
  I know how exhausted you both must be.

  I am so sorry about your BFN and hope your DR is able to provide better insight for you.
  
  My SIL struggled with IF for a little over 7 years and, wasn't able to sustain a pregnancy until she started acupuncture on a regular basis and an herbal regime.  Something I wanted to pass along and I hope I am not stepping out of bounds.

  Thank you everyone. I feel very lucky to be a part of this community. Thank you all for your support throughout our journey.
  
  I haven't heard back from my RE yet nor have I heard from KK's office since I left a message.
  
  At a minimum I'm hoping to test for clotting disorders, natural killer cells, blood flow to my ute and would like to have PGD testing done on future embies. My RE said that my endometriosis wouldn't impact IVF success but I'm wondering if maybe he's wrong/underestimating the impact. I need to work on losing weight and being healthier too. Though my RE said he wasn't concerned, I imagine KK will say differently. Might as well get a head start.

  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.
