Can I join you? (honestly?)

Do you ladies mind if I join you?  ( I understand if not since I'm SAIF)

 

I've been on these boards for years.  I started on TTTC before there was an Infertility board in 2008 and joined SAIF in 9/2009.  I'm an active member of the private FB SAIF board.  IVF is new territory for me and I would love to be able to ask questions, get support and advice from you ladies going through the same thing.  I'll need all the help I can get.

 A little bit about me.  We just paid OOP for a shared risk IVF package.  I'm diagnosed as PCOS and my husband has MFI and we've been trying for #2 for 20 months.  We are hopeful that IVF is our answer. I start BCP on 1/14.

 I wish you all good luck and hope you will accept me

Personally I don't really think it matters that you have a have a child already. IF is the same whether its for number one or four. I understand how some women feel about all of us trying to have our first but what your going through is the same that we are. Personally, I don't wanna hear stories about your kid, no offense, but I feel you are welcome here. IVF is scary and a crazy emotional roller coaster and you shouldn't have to go through it alone. So I'm sorry out have to be here but welcome, and feel free to ask me anything. Good luck.

Welcome! I'm TTC  #2 as well. I've found a lot of support and information from all the ladies on these boards. To my knowledge nobody has ever been upset about it. I am just sensitive about it. GL on your IVF!

TTC #1 for Dh, #2 for me. HSG clear. Low AMH and endo. Multiple Clomid w/TI cycles - all BFNs. 2 IUIs with Clomid and 1 with Femara - more BFNs. IVF#1 25R, 15M, 15F. 5DT of two perfect 4AA blasts! Positive HPT at 5dp5dt. Beta #1 6dp5dt - 72. Beta #2 8dp5dt - 285. Beta #3 10dp5dt - 793. Both babies have strong beautiful heartbeats! Baby B miscarried at 7 weeks. Baby A is holding on through miscarrying her twin, sub-chorionic hematoma, and complete placenta previa. Stick, baby, stick!
