Hi.... I kind have some reserves about putting myself out here, but after reading the support that is shared I can't help but won't someone to relate with me. I'm 32years old and a mother of 2 adopted children, ttc for 6Yrs, this is my second try at IVF. The first was 4 Years ago. This time I have been researching and trying to understand the procedure better. This first time my dh and I kinda just went with it not really understanding everything that was going on. I've had both my tubes removed and so far that seems to be the only thing "labeling" my infertility. Today I am on cd3 with bcp, I will continue the BCP for 12 days then start Microdose Lupron and Stims, 3 amps Gonal-F, Repronex. Just wanting to know if anyone else is going through this.
Hi btruelove, while everyone is going through differing procedures please remember that we all have similar emotional sorrows and that is what these boards will help you with, come and vent if you need too, come share our sorrow, and for those few each month share in their joy aswell.

Hi btruelove, Welcome to the site. My dh and I have a different set of obstacles, but I do understand the pain of not being able to conceive. We are gearing up for IVF in June hopefully. I am glad you decided to post. Why should you go through the pain of this alone when you have so many wonderful women here who understand? Feel free to post anytime you need to and we will be here to help you pick up the pieces.......or to celebrate with you!
38 yrs. DH is 31 yrs. Married November 2002. No children. TTC since the honeymoon. Infertility treatments 2 yrs. 7 failed IUIs. 3 cancelled IVFs due to poor response to meds. Poor ovarian reserve. DH has male factors. Chicago, IL Presently looking into adoption!
I am new here too! I will take my last bc pills tomorrow, and start the injections whenever my period starts. I feel as if my dh and I are VERY blind going into this procedure. I only have one ovary and no fallopian tubes due to a botched surgery to remove an ovarian cyst last year.
I am excited and hopeful to be going through this process with you and the others.

I did a full cycle of IVF /w ICSI so I can relate a bit to what you might be going through. ICSI is just the process of fertilizing the egg but it doesn't change the protocol, it is the same as straight IVF. I didn't have internet when I did mine. Not even a computer yet, lol. It was in 1997. I am amazed at all of the women who know their exact numbers of levels of things. I was told, "blood looks good, do this tonight" and I would do it and that was that. I think now with the support groups, the access to information online and the clinics realizing that women are aware of more and want to know everything, you guys are doing this at the right time. Ask questions of them, of me or anyone else here and remember www.google.com for anything else you can't seem to find answers to. Good luck and hope to chat again soon!
36 years old. Married for 17 years. 1 son, 7 years old, conceived w/ ICSI. 2nd IVF w/ ICSI in June=No Fertilization. August cycle cancelled for poor response. Considering options.
I'm also 32 yrs. old. I have a son his name is Kennedy who just turned 11 in March, conceived while using clomid x1m. with my ex-husband. I am going to be starting my 4th IUI cycle April 11th. I have stage 3 Endometriosis and just had my lt. fallopian tube removed in Feb. 2005. This process is very hard to go through but if you believe, anything is possible. I have been battling with infertility for over a decade now, but I still see light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you well. We are all here for the same reason to have babies and provide support for one another. Love Maria
