| How many cycles of IVF did you do to have your baby/babies? Most women I've talked to said 2-3, but I'd like to hear more stories. Please include your age and TIA! |

| 2, but the first I cancelled before retrieval because it was going to be earlier than I expected, and I had houseguests. First full cycle worked. Nc IVF. |

| One cancelled cycle for low response at 33 years old. Cycle at 36 years old yielded my son. FET from that same cycle yielded my DD when I was 42. |
