Comment if you are trying for your FIRST baby

Anonymous
Trying for 4 years, both 34, no major issues other than Hashimoto's and high prolactin (both being treated). Had one chemical (2012) and a mc at 8 weeks (2014).
Started seeing an RE in 2015, I'm in the 2ww of my 4th IUI cycle with injectables. Will be moving on if this does not work.
I never, ever, ever, thought I would go through infertility.
I feel very sad (not envious) when I see people that started trying way after we did with toddlers.

Hang in there! One way or another we will all get there.

Hugs!

PP- I am at a very similar place. 35 and trying for a bit over 3 years. Hashimoto's and high prolactin treated. In the 2WW of my 4th IUI cycle (last 2 with injectables). Never had a positive test (not even any chemicals). I don't have the largest number of follicles but I'm not too bad (especially for 35). My AFC on day 3 this cycle was around 11 and I've gotten between 1-3 mature follicles each IUI cycle so far. Moving onto IVF next cycle if this one is not the one.

Best wishes all.

36 and trying for nearly 3 years. High prolactin and lean PCOS. 6 medicated TI/IUI cycles. Just completed first IVF. I've never once sIn my life seen a BFP. Nothing like having an RE who says he "didn't think you'd be such a hard case"...

TTC for over 4 years. 1 MC at 7 weeks on an 'break cycle' 3 years ago. 5 medicated IUI's, 2 OE IVF's and finally 1 DE cycle that resulted in a BFP. Then at 20 weeks, the baby died. I'm heartbroken. Know I want to have a child, but dont know how to keep going when my heart is breaking...

Turning 40 on Wed so pretty much done here. Have been trying naturally since 32 with no BFPs.

Husband did a variococele repair and we did 2 IUIs, 1 fresh cycle, 2 frozen and 2 natural IVF cycles. Couldn't afford to do more as was all OOP.

After all that we had one BFP from the fresh cycle that ended in a miscarriage. Have watched the vast majority of my friends and family have children with ease.

Trying for #1 since 2010. I've had 3 IUIs and 8 IVF's- one ectopic, one chemical, and one trisomy 18 miscarriage at 15 weeks (most recent). I'm done with OE, moving on to DE- transfer hopefully in 3.5 weeks. I'm now 40 years old.

37. 6 IUIs and just starting IVF #1. I have gotten positive tests, but never had a successful pregnancy so the diagnosis is unexplained infertility. I suspect an egg quality issue so this IVF cycle should give us some more information.

My heart goes out to all of you (us).

Been trying for three years. Lost several pregnancies at various stages of development, then couldn't conceive anymore. Recently completed two rounds of unsuccessful IVF. My eggs are shit. We spent so much on IVF I don't know if we can afford donor eggs now. I'm 40.

Started ttc at 25, 30 now and on my 4th pregnancy with no live babies. Nothing at all wrong with DH or me. Our plan is to be childfree if it doesn't work out by 35. We will find peace either way. Best wishes.

Been trying for over three years. 31. Unexplained. Although I'm suspicious that my husband only able to have sex once a week has something to do with it. On average we have sex 3-4 times a month. The doctor said I still should have gotten pregnant by now. I still think we didn't have sex enough when I was ovulating but maybe it's denial? I'm not sure we ever had sex the day before ovulation or even timed it right. Maybe a few times at max.

We are just starting out first round of IVF this month.

I just saw my comment on here from a year ago.. Now I'm 31, 3 ivf, 2 fet, 1 miscarriage at 12 weeks from 2nd transfer then never pregnant again. RE has no idea what's wrong with me, Embryos are all pgs tested. Moving on to gestational carrier.

I'm so sorry. I'm terrified this will happen to me.
