I'm just curious...what are the ages, how long TTC, known or unknown cause of infertility, therapies tried, for women reading this board?

I'm 31, TTC 1.5 years, unexplained infertility, starting first IUI/Clomid cycle later this month.

I'm 32 TTC for almost 2 years with unexplained IF. Did 3 rounds of IUI/Clomid (w/accupuncture), am about to start IVF.

I'm 32, severe endometriosis, TTC a little over 2 years. Several failed IUIs, cancelled IVFs, BFP on the one IVF cycle where I finally made it to retrieval.

I come back, even though I am now expecting, because many of the women who posted here helped me immensely. I hope to be able to do the same for somebody else. Infertility can be mighty lonely sometimes.

39.5. TTC #2 for 1 year. Everything is "perfect" except for my old eggs and diminished ovarian reserve. (Can you tell I hate it when they tell me after every day 3 ultrasound that everything looks great - well, duh, there is no problem with my uterus!)

3 failed IUIs, one cancelled IVF that was converted to an IUI that I'm sure will be a bust; hoping to get my period this weekend so I can start BCPs and try to make it to retrieval with my next IVF.

34 TTC#1 for 2 years. 5 failed IUI's. Waiting for the results of 6th IUI. If this fails will go onto IVF. We have unexplained IF. Ovulate every month also and DH has great sperm count/motility/etc. Going bonkers trying to figure out why this isn't working.

I'm 37 with PCOS. I've done 3 rounds of Clomid/IUI, 3 rounds of Gonal-F/IUI, 3 rounds of Clomid/Gonal-F/IUI. My son is 15 months old!

I am now trying for #2 with Clomid/Gonal-F/IUI. On first cycle now.

Good luck!

TTC for about 6 months now. I was pregnant last year the old fashioned way and we had to terminate the pregnancy. I am seeing an RE and will be starting Bravelle with timed intercourse with my next period. I have been diagnosed with a luteal phase defect. The RE said that if I don't get pregnant in 2 rounds of the drugs we will be moving on to IVF. I'm 40.

When I was 36, infertility was due to male factor. At 42, infertility was due to advanced age. IVF used both times and successful. It took several tries when I was older though.
