Hello everyone!

I first visited a few months ago and it was amazing how much comfort I got from all you ladies!!!
I don't know if anyone will even remember me so I will tell a shortened version of my story!

I have been pregnant 6 times and still we are without a child. Two of my pregnancies were ectopic one of them ended in emergency surgery. After that surgery I was told I had to have my tubes removed and IVF was my only option to try to have a baby. I also have factor V leiden and endometriosis.

The last I posted..... I was gonna be set the day for removal of my tubes.

I have many complications with the surgery but, I am healthy and ready for my next step!!!! I am try to get my funds lined up and ready to start this cycle.

From what I understand.... I would start right after my period starts and would do the transfer at the end of November or beginning of December.

I hope to be able to come here daily if I start this month or not!
I just wanted to reintroduce myself and I hope I can help as much as I can by sharing my experiences.
I hope you all are doing well and I will.... as I have since my first time visiting here..... be thinking about you!!!!

God bless!

Welcome back these women are wonderful and some going through the same thing as you. I personally have reoccurent MC just had one 43 days ago and a D&C Sept . 5th. I'm 2-3 DPO and trying again. I wish you luck in your next big step and if you need anything just holler.

I'm Brandi by the way
I'm 22 and my DH Jeff is 23

Welcome back! I'm so sorry to hear about all of your miscarriages. That must be so devastating! I wish you luck with your upcoming IVF cycle, and just know that you can get the support you need on this board!

Cristy

Thank you Brandi, I am sorry about your loses! I am happy that you are trying again! I know for me it knocked me down so hard that I wasn't sure if I could try again. I know its worth it and will probably never stop trying. I think we will all get our time and the only way to do that is to stay strong. I Wish you luck as well.... I hope to hear about your BFP very soon!!!! I hope all the best for your family!!!

Thank you Cristy!
It is hard for someone who has not been through any of this to understand and this is an amazing way to support and be supported through the infertility struggles! I have great friends and family and they try to help but, I find it almost easier to express my feelings and share things here...... than with people I have known for years. Thanks again!

I guess I forgot to mention that....I am 29 and DH is 32! :)

Hi, I remember your story and just wanted to say welcome back. :) Wishing you the best of luck w/ your upcoming IVF. Feel free to ask any questions you have about it, or anything else for that matter.

Holly

Welcome back!! I am so sorry about your m/cs. :( But, I am praying and hoping that this IVF will be a strong success and you will be pg by christmas!!! :D:D I am sending lots of super sticking

I saw you live in Indiana......my DH and I go to Brazil every year it's so beautiful. We have redbone coonhounds so we go to redbone days every June.

Hello, and welcome back! Sounds like the surgery has you all ready to try again, and I am so happy you're ready for the next step. A baby for the holidays!!! I pray that IVF will bring you the BFP that sticks! Please keep us posted along the way, and we'll be happy to give you a shoulder to lean on when you need support!

Kari

Thank you all for your replies! I tell you .... I see the addiction forming with coming here to follow all your stories and to help... when I can..... can feel support... that we all need!! THANKS!

Holly.... Thank you, I wasn't sure if anyone would remember me! I just posted on another thread about how happy I am for you but, here it is again! YAY!!!! ;) Congrats!!! I remembered you as well, it's so nice to see where you are today!!! :bouncing:

Princess..... Thanks!! I need all the baby dust I can get!! Never too much of it!! :angel: I am so excited about the Christmas timing. I guess it will make it the best ever....or.... not so great!

Brandi...... yes I am pretty new here.... from Florida. I like it... not love... just like. I miss my mom!!! Well, dad too but, all my pregnancies and fertility issues have been since moving here. So she is so far a way and she is my best friend. :(


Kari...... Thank you! I am sure I will be taking you up on the shoulder thing! ;) Its so nice to know that everyone here... is ready to be there for each other! It was nice to get the surgeries behind me.....the tubes needed to go! One was releasing a bad toxin that was causing my pregnancies to fail....... that and a few other things but, it was a big factor! So hopefully this is it..... for all of us!!!
I would love to wrap little "it worked" presents for my family and friends...... what a gift that would be!!!

Thanks again everyone!!!! :D

I'm never stingy with the babydust! :D I am certainly praying that you get a special gift for Christmas this year, darling. :angel: How are you feeling today?

*********babydust**********

Feeling great today..... Thanks so much for asking!!! I think AF might be coming early and that never happens! I guess we will see!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your generous helpings of the baby dust!!!;)

I have been away for only 2 days and I have so much reading to do..... gotta check on everyone!!!

:D:D:D I love this board because everyone writes so much, and so fastt!!!! :D If I miss an hour for lunch, there are threads to catch up on LOL!!
I'm glad you're doing so well! What is your next step after AF?

*******babydust********

Princess.... I already love it here.:D I see what you mean about missing just a small amount of time here and you have so much catching up to do. For me it has been hard..... I reallly could see myself never leaving the site but, I am trying to read and learn everyone and where they are in the search of the BFP...... I am getting ready for a week long trip to the mountains so, between the packing, cleaning and.....I can go on forever! I am just sooo busy. I hope to get to really sit and "get to know" everyone when I return.
I am actually hoping to start BCP ...... well, I hope I will be starting my first IVF cycle. My DH and I are actually going to meet my parents for this vacation and we are discussing the money to pay for my cycle. They already told me they were giving us the money to begin. I am just hoping that I haven't got my hopes up to start this month when the original plan was to start in Jan. so there still is a chance I will be waiting. Either way I am grateful for the financial help they are offering. I just assumed we would be saving forever!
I will know in a few days...... that is partially why I want AF to wait til its "her time" and not to come early.
I hope to join all of the ladies here soon!!!!!! :D :D :D
How are you doing??????

Oh wow!!! You're so busy!! :D:D Don't stress too much abotu knwoing everyon'es story, there are so many women here that it's sometimes hard to get it all straight. :angel: But you'll get it!! :D I'm so glad that your parents are able to help you out. It always bugs me how insurance either doesn't cover IF treatents, or very little. As if we choose to have IF issues. :rolleyes:
I can't wait fo ryou to get your BFP!!!!! :D:D:D:D
I'm dong okay---today is REALLY rough because I had a HUGE fight with DH this morning, and he hasn't returned my calls. (I was trying to make up) so I'm hoping that this weekend won't be awkward and tense. But other than that I'm really good!!
I hope you enjoy your vacation!!!
