Hello!

easttxmamas · March 2017

Hi, all! New here, wanted to introduce myself. no babies yet, but have frozen embryos and are planning on transfer end of May: our first as I couldn't do a fresh transfer after IVF.
DW and I have been married for two years tomorrow.
27 years old, one previous loss with no explanation
unicornuate uterus, so chances of preterm labor and c-section are higher than normal

hope to get to know some of you and be a partner of this great community!

@acu_baby wow, on your first try! Congrats!! That gives me hope

Apparently my family is very fertile. My mom asked me if happened on the first try and when I said yes she high fived me and called me her kid. My 2 sisters and I are exactly 2 years and 1/2 a month apart. I don't think she had any trouble getting pregnant when she wanted. I also have 4 nieces and nephews.

I wish you the best of luck but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't happen the first time. Any reason why you went straight to IVF?

We're going with IUI first. I'm always going to be hopeful but definitely know it's normal to have it all take some time.

If I was going to pay a substantial amount of money, I wanted to be able to have a higher chance of pregnancy from the get-go, plus have embryos for future kiddos. I lost a baby from an at-home IUI, so that could've had something to do with it as well. I would NEVER do it again, honestly, because the egg retrieval was awful, but I am thankful this is the route we chose. It might not be the right one for everyone, but the ease of the transfer is incredible. It takes a lot of stress off!

Hi! I just got pregnant via reciprocal IVF (my wife's eggs, my basket), and just got my BFP the day I turned 40. This was after two years and many, many tries with my own eggs. My wife is 38 (pretty old in fertility years) but had a solid response. We transferred two fresh, and we have two frozen, waiting on genetic test results for our snowflakes.

I'm sorry for your loss, and sorry you had a rough retrieval. Did you have OHSS?

My wife and I have been married 3 years. We started TTC pretty quick, given our ages. I'm beyond thrilled by our BFP, and crossing my fingers for good beta results tomorrow (second beta).
