Belle, we are trying naturally until our next appointment with our RE in May. I am hoping that our next step will be a laparoscopy, as I strongly believe I suffer from endometriosis. Everyone seems to think it is a good thing that they haven't found anything "wrong", but I feel the same as you- I can't imagine the past two years were just bad luck. I somewhat hope that our problems are from endo... at least we would actually have an issue to focus on. It would be nice just to have some answers, and all the waiting between appointments is killing me!

Hey all, so it's been nearly ten years trying we have done so much, currently literally just had third eggs collection and hoping to get to day five of blastocyst. We had 11 eggs collected yesterday and four fertilised and strong enough to carry on to blastocyst! Little bit our situation. We have had three IUI treatments, three ivf eggs collection resulting in four cycles with two frozen transfers and two fresh transfers, two transfers ending in BNP but unfortunately we mmc'd and two didn't stick. We did cookie for six months if the fertility nurse scanned us correctly and scan us every time they would have seen Clomid didn't touch us or make any difference.

We have had various blood tests ending in us having to be on stupid amounts of drugs! Costing silly amounts.

And if I hear someone tell us we are young I will physically hurt them

Welcome Hun. Sorry this journey has taken so much time for you. I hear you with the costs of infertility treatments!
Am I reading this right, Did you just have a retrieval? Hope the transfer went smoothly

Good luck with the lap Hun. I also thought that could have been my issue as my aunt has sever endo, but that was not my case. It ended up being male infertility issues with high cinsentrations if DNA fragmentation. How I wish we would have done more tests on my husband and paid the small amounts for that, then me going through surgeries and other procedures that came up normal.

Good luck on your journeys everyone!

Afm - My quick story. Started trying in 2011 but ntnp for a few years before that. Had a few years of testing by my re, was referred to a fertility specialist in Alberta but the referall took ... eighteen months. In the mean time we moved back to Ontario got into a clinic within a few months and started the monitoring and testing.
Did six IUI's, all negative. 1 IVF cycle. Fresh was successful but after 21 weeks my little boys heart stopped for unknown reasons and he was delivered sleeping. That was last September.
Since then I have done one more FET which resulted in an early loss at just about six weeks and we have another FET scheduled.

Waiting for April cycle to get this FET started again!

Myshelsong, so very sorry for your losses Good luck this cycle. We are also in Ontario (southwestern).

Mysheldong-
Hey, yes we just had the egg collection last week. We are actually just back from having two embryos put in. So I'll be testing 10th april. It's exciting but it's also very nerve racking.

 

[Myshelsong]

The tww is the worst. Good luck, I hope this ivf cycle is the one. Fingers crossed for you!
Hi Jwilly, thank you. It has been very emotional.
There ate a few gals on here that are from Ontario as well that I have met. I am in the Hamilton area. So glad spring has finally sprung

 

[jwilly]
