[quote=Anonymous]He will be 4 in May. We are a same sex couple (and DW and I both post on here with some frequency). In retrospect, he was a miracle. DW and I use a known donor and tried at home using AI for about a year. After that, we moved to IUI - six IUIs later, nothing. Then she got accepted into an IVF clinical trial in NYC, did one round of mini IVF as part of the trial, which yielded one embryo - our son. Since then we've had three losses, one in second trimester (just passed the two year anniversary of that loss and I had a rough time with it). We've also had a few failed cycles (nothing making it to blast, two failed FETs). Currently doing one last cycle at Cornell using Dr. Braverman's immune protocol in conjunction with normal IVF meds. This is our last attempt that insurance will cover so we are throwing everything at this - joined a gym, doing meditation, all the holistic stuff along with the RE/RI stuff. This cycle we've both tried to stay very present and involved in the day to day without looking too far ahead. We are focusing a lot on ourselves and our son. Haven't even calculated what due date would be, how far apart this baby would be from DS, etc. if she gets a BFP. Yes, it's a tough road, but we're hoping that our story will have a happy ending. Good luck to you as you keep going as well. [/quote]
