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!
Hello there! Nice to meet you, my wife and I have been together for 5 years and just had our son in October. Hope to hear more about your journey to conceive!
Hi there! My wife and I are beginning our conception journey this year, so I'm on bump getting my feet wet with the online community. Welcome and best of luck for you!
My wife and I have conceived a babe with my body and frozen donor sperm through IUI, with medication support (clomid, ovidrel, and injections of progesterone) IUI #1, #2, and #3: Dec 2017, Jan 2018, and Feb 2018 - all BFN HSG Test: April 2018 - all clear! IUI #4: April 15/16, 2018 - BFP!! EDD: Jan 7, 2019

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!

@Holzie: Congrats on your pregnancy!! Did you do PIO shots? Those suckers terrify me...
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).
Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
TTC with frozen donor sperm and science
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs. 2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs. Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire. Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus! fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
