Re-Intro

Hi Ladies!

Just wanted to re-introduce myself since there's so many new faces around here. I was active the end of last year/the beginning of this year and have been taking a break since our last failed cycle in April.

History is in my siggy, but basically we've been married and TTC since 2010. Finally started getting tested and started treatments last year. They can't find anything wrong with either of us. I've done 5 medicated cycles...responded very well to low doses of Clomid and IUIs went smoothly, but no pregnancies. So here we are, ready to sneak in a last-minute IVF cycle to help offset taxes for the year haha.

I'm a newborn/family/children's photographer (oh the irony), so every session I do is a reminder of what I'm missing out on. I'm ready for it to be ME this next year!

Nice to meet ya'll! Looking forward to participating on the boards again!





Me: 31  DH: 32  Dx: Unexplained
TTC #1 off and on since 2010
11/15 - Clomid + TI = BFN
12/15 - Clomid + TI = BFN
1/16 - Clomid + IUI = BFN
2/16 - Clomid + IUI = BFN
4/16 - Follistim + IUI = BFN
5/16 - 11/16 - Life / WTFing / Pity Party / Saving $
1/17 - IVF #1 (Fresh Transfer / 6 frosties) = BFN
3/17 - FET.... BFP! EDD 11/29

    I feel like I remember you from a while back because I'm also a photographer and feel like we chatted about this before (or I used to be.... have been on a break from it since I moved from Canada) and can totally relate to the struggle. Anyways. Wanted to say hi and send love and hugs. <3

    Hey @oxinfree! Yep, I remember chatting with you! Will you be starting photography back up or are you taking a break indefinitely? I keep debating whether I should take a break from newborns but then I think about how much I need the money for IVF. 

    Sorry to see you still on this board. Hopefully 2017 is kinder to us both  <3

    @Lin&amp;say I'm in the states now (I'm Canadian) so waiting on a green card. Once I can, I probably will, though the break was really good for me personally. Big hugs.
