Hi there! Introducing myself (loss mentioned)

Hi everyone! *waves nervously*

I'm fairly new to TheBump but (unfortunately) not new to the world of TTC.  I'm in NJ and I've been married for a little over 5 years, and TTC for almost 4 years.  Our Dx is MFI and we just finished our third round of medicated B2B IUIs (unsuccessfully).  

We've conceived naturally a few times before, but the pregnancies all ended in MC (2x) and a chemical (1x), respectively.  We just met with our RE today to discuss moving on from IUI to IVF with ICSI, and we'll be starting in three weeks. 

I joined TheBump in hopes of connecting with others TTC, and others who may be going through the IVF process.  I hope to encourage others when it's hard to find the strength to get through the day, and I'll probably have a few questions and struggles of my own.  

Hopeful in this journey and looking forward to being a part of this community!
Me = 33, DH = 34
Married for 5 years, TTC for 4 years

History:  
3 MCs at 12wks, 8wks, 5wks = referred to RE in March '15
dx:  MFI (0% morphology, 18% motility)
3 b2b IUIs on Gonal-F & Ovidrel = 3 BFNs
Round 1 of IVF in 2/16 = overstimmed with E2 of almost 6,000.  23 eggs retrieved, 17 mature, 15 fertilized, 8 blasts frozen on day 5.  Fresh cycle canceled due to too many eggs.

Currently:
Recovering from moderate OHSS and prepping for a FET in March April (delayed another month due to ovaries 3x the normal size, filled with too many cysts, due to overstimming back in Jan/Feb).

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. --Romans 5:3-5 ESV

    Welcome! I agree with others, join one of the monthly IVF Boards, there is so much helpful information and usually someone on a similar schedule so you'll definitely have support through there and other posts!

    Welcome!  I'm so sorry for your losses and for your failed IUIs.  Being that I'm also dealing with MFI, I feel very thankful that IVF is an option, even though it's so stressful and expensive.  We were fortunate to discover our MFI very early on in our TTC process, so we haven't been trying as long as most, but I just want to say that people like you give me hope and strength.  I wish you luck!
