Hi ladies,
Bit of an intro- finally ready TTC#2. History of PCOS with 3 years TTC before our precious angel came along via IVF. We did 1 year of by ourselves and then naturopathy, then Clomiphene and finally IVF. Was not ovulating so this was the best option for us although we paid privately for the treatment.
Hugely surprised to get a BPF after one cycle (12 eggs retrieved, 5 fertilised and 4 blasts). Every day I am thankful for her and know how hard it was and is to get pregnant.
So, many years later after fairly horrific post-natal depression we are finally ready to try for another.
First FET is scheduled for mid March, so looking forward to sharing the journey with you all.

Hi Kiwibubs,
How exciting for you, best of luck next month.
I am starting my first IVF treatment shortly, hopefully start shots this weekend.
I'm 31 and have PCOS apparently (cysts), although ovulate regularly and have no other symptoms - other than infertility for two years!! I also have a nearly 8 year old - who was conceived first month of trying! Frustrating
So I'm pretty excited, pretty nervous - all those things I'm sure you're feeling too. Awesome to hear it worked first time for you - very encouraging.
Looking forward to see how you go.
All the best

Babylun, how are you going, have you started the shots? And kiwibubs, you must be ready for FET soon?
I just came across this NZ blog on IVF, thought I'd share.

Hi, thanks for asking. Well I'm one of those stories that used to annoy me. As I patiently waited for my period, after 4 days late (not unusual) I did a home pregnancy test and turns out I'm pregnant. So after 22 months trying, and just about to start IVF we were really really lucky. I'm about 6 weeks now I think, seems to be going ok so far. Looking forward to seeing a few more announcments on this forum. Thanks again

Icecream we're about to start too. Meeting specialist this Thursday after surgery early June which concluded my tubes are likely too blocked to get an egg through but he thought our chances via IVF we're excellent - expecting this cycle or next will be last natural cycle then we move into the IVF journey....so I'm looking for IVF friends too :) I have one little boy - 3 yrs ...TTC since he was born :( so not quite going thru IVF now but nearly :)

Hey miss b - good to hear about your plan - sorry to hear your tubes are too block. It is great having a plan though
We have been ttc for over 4 years now, through all the tests, scans, HSG, lap they have found nothing other than maybe pcos. Tried 7 months straight with clomid and 2 iuis in there too then a break til lap, then one more try at clomid. It was nice having the break, on the pill now and due to start buserelinon the 11th
I have a dd who is now a teenager, i had her when i was very young and she was very sick and only got to come home just before she was a year. so want a family with DH and to bring a baby home
Really hoping ivf works as I don't know how I will get over having more kids if not. Excited and scared

Good luck ladies. We did IVF late last year and am glad to say it was succesful. We tired for 3 years with no results, went through all the tests, nothing found so did 4 rounds of IUI with no success and then moved on to IVF. First round successful, baby on the way. Wishing you both the best for your upcoming journies

We were one of those negligent Midwife stories. Nearly lost our boy. Went through a long process in hospital to get us both home as we both ended up very very sick. I'm not sure how I feel about not having another, and flatly refuse to believe it's not possible. We're at the 3yr mark for public funding, but that's just to put us on the list, so we're paying for this ourselves. It feels like a dentist bill...lol...it has to be done but it's got its own pain... but I'm desperate for another baby...just one...and I am exhausted realising this has been such a long journey. My hubby has two children prior to ours, and he doesn't get to see them sadly, despite us wanting them part of the family, so like you there's so much history and wanting with having one more baby... xxxx Hubby wants to try two natural cycles - we're in the first one now - I just want to get on with it....so we might not be too far behind you if I get my way :) I'm also older.... 38 now, so know time is ticking, but specialist has already said there's no issue with egg quantity/age side...obviously with some less than perfect quality in there - but wasn't something he's overly worried about....
I really hope this is it for you...sounds like quite a journey, and I really hope you get a little one for you and hubby at the end of it... its quite a journey huh! xxx
