TTC Stats - Infertility Message Board

Hi All ~

Since there are so many new people on the boards, I thought it would be nice to start a thread on our IF history. Then the new people can see what we have been through and if their situation matches any of ours. Besides, our stories get lost in thread after thread~ it will be nice to have it in one spot. Ladies with BFP's please respond as well, be sure to put in you BFP date!!

I'll start....

Age: 28 DH 29
TTC - 11 years together, 3 years trying, 1 1/2 years with help - Never used con*****tives
IF cause - Unknown

HSG - Clear, no problems
OB/GYN diagnosed PCOS, RE said I didn't have it (who to believe)
Clomid for 1 year, no monitoring - no luck
July 31st - 1st IUI with injections ( Gonal F, Ovudrel) BFN
August - Taking a break from Injections and the RE, trying naturally
September - 2nd IUI with injections (Gonal F) BFN
October - Took off - remaining cysts from cycle before
December - 3rd IUI with injections (Follistim)BFN

Thinking about IVF, will most likely take a break for a few months. We can't afford IVF yet. I might try one more round of IUI's.

Baby dust to all that are desperately waiting their BFP. To those with BFP's - Best wishes and healthy pregnancies.

Great idea!

me: 38; DH: 38

started TTC -- Jan. 2001

Was getting ready to commit to treatment when BFP came in late 2002 after trying naturally (for 1 yr, 9 mos).

DS born 2003.

Started TTC again Jan 2004.

BFP at end of 2004 but MC Dec 04.

Kept TTC and finally went back to RE Jan 2006. Diagnosed with MF IF.

3 IUIs with injectibles (Gonal-F) -- 1st one was a chem preg, others BFN.

1st IVF cycle (with ICSI) started Aug 2006 -- but cancelled due to poor response. (Ovaries too suppressed.)

2nd IVF cycle with ICSI and new protocol (antagon) completed Nov 2006 -- 3 day transfer -- BFN.

3rd IVF cycle completed Dec 2006 -- yet another protocol w/ no BCPs. Tried to "squeeze" this last cycle in before the end of the year due to insurance concerns. 5 day transfer -- Finally, BFP!!!! Music to my ears!

Baby dust to all of you -- you've inspired and supported me so much through this incredibly difficult process. I wouldn't have been able to survive it without you -- truly! You all are the best!
