i had 2 iui.... negative....  doctor was a chinese in flushing and was very recomended. he is around 70 y/o.... his hand used to shake......lol..but i wanted to get pregnant...lol.. at the end no results and he said to me... you not pregnant ..you too old....lol..i can laughed now but i was in shock then...lol  i was 40y/o at that time.


2.  i had 2 negative IVFs with a very expensive doctor in manhattan, he went to harvard.... nothing!

3.  we give up..and decided to forget it about it and be happy with our 8 cats  and 3 rescue dogs..... and we were very happy and forgot about it.


4.  9 months later while in vacation...pregnant natural way at 42y/o

5.   my baby boy was just born 3 weeks ago, perfect child perfect health  almost 10 pounds  22 long...

6. since i was 42y/o doctors drive me crazy with all the  tests of trisomy 13, 18 21... they advice the famous amnio..so prepare yourself, the road doesnt end in getting pregnant  ...they are a lot of bumps in it...be strong!

7. prepare yourself, have family member or a friend on hand to help you...for me the last 3 months were a little bit hard, big belly, couldnt walk much, couldnt sleep at night..only 2 or 3 hours here and there during day time...

7. this is my first baby....and thats all i want just one!....
by the way  my cats and dogs love him...its so funny how they try to approach him..we are teaching them 2 by 2 to get used to the baby...we are a huge happy family now!

Hi Everyone.  I've had 3 IUIs and 2 IVFs.  Three unsuccessful pregnancies.... one ectopic, one chemical, one m/c after the heartbeat.

I'm in the middle of my last attempt with Egg Donor.  16 were retrieved yesterday, 15 mature, 10 have fertilized with ICSI.

I am such a mess.  With all of the losses I've had over the past 6 plus years I am praying that this works.  We cannot afford to spend any more money.  

I feel defeated at losing 1/3 of them from yesterday to today.  I find out tomorrow morning if we're having a 3 day or 5 day transfer.  I am praying we have a few to freeze.  I am so glad to have found this community.

hi there thats very goodnews to hear about your follicles go for it gal this is your shot and having been trying for 10 years just go for it regardless of all the situations at the end of the day am sure you can salvage marital issues but your follicles are maturing fast you dont av many days to make a decision. close your eyes take a deep breath and focus on this baby make that your priority while saving your marriage 10 years is such a long time to just let it go down the drain

went to re's office this morning and as my luck would be all the larger follies 19 and 20mm are on the left side where I have no tube and the 12 and 16mm or on the right waiting on them to call not sure if I should go ahead with the iui if the larger follies are on the left or should I? I need advice. Due to my marital situation this may be the last month I ttc but I will always be here to support you ladies. I have been going through this 10 years now.
