Hi! My intro

[rachelgreen]

Hello! I just discovered this board (so perceptive I know)
was here. I am actually an old school TTTC-to-IF-to-IFV poster from the bump
(although my sn up until a short time ago was different). DH and I have been
TTC since ’07…it’s been a long, hard 5+ years. We are 100% oop and not
millionaires unfortunately, lol. We have completed/attempted 6 IUIs – all BFNs
or cancelled due to poor response. I’ve had one cp, one D&C to remove a
large uterine polyp and have PCOS w/IR. I am a slow responder and so each IUI
cycle takes about 20 days of stimming for me. Along the way I’ve done Clomid,
Femara, Follistim, Bravelle, & Gonal-F.  I’ve gone through depression and come out on
the other side (thankfully).

After our last IUI attempt (almost a year ago now) we decide
we were going to take the rest of 2012 off from assisted attempts and we were
just going to enjoy life. We both needed it. Our marriage had hit a really
rough patch and we were both emotionally drained from all of this. We were also
on completely opposite sides of which path to take at that point. I was ready
for adoption. He wanted to try IVF. So in the meantime, we had fun and found
ourselves again. Now we are gearing up to start it all up again. I am 80% sure
we are going to do a one and done attempt at IVF, hopefully this spring or
early summer. We are still in saving mode so unless we wanted to do yet another
IUI, we are still in a holding pattern.

I look forward to having an actual board to come back to.
Once they split IF to IFV, it died out little by little and then the implosion
happened and most of my old bump friends moved into FB groups. I’ve very open
with everything so feel free to ask whatever, whenever.

ETA: sorry about the wonky formatting, I c&p'd this from word and it loves to go crazy on me.

Welcome! I'm doing IVF right now. Feel free to ask me any questions, although I often feel like I don't know anything. :-)

Hi and welcome, glad you found us. That's been an insanely long road though. Wow, I can't even begin to imagine dealing with all the doctor crap for 5 years.
