Hi ladies! I'm Andy. I'm new to this board but not new to infertility strugglings. I'm going to edit my profile with those facts a bit later. Here's my infertility history. Me – 37. DH – 38. TTC since Jan 2008. Faced 2 chemical pregnancies the 2 following years. Was put on Clomid 50 but ended with another chemical. Oct-Dec 2010 Fermara 5 and Purgon 75. Had 3 months break from treatments. Feb & Mar & Apr 2011 IUI #1 & 2 & 3 Purgon 150 & Clomid 100 BFN x3. IVF #1 Superfact & Puregon 300. 10 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 6 eggs fertilized, 2 survived. Transferred 2 low grade morulas on day 5 – BFN.

Donor Egg Cycle. IVF#1 (DE)April 2015. Transferred 1 grade 4AA embryo – BFN. Dr made some changes into treatment protocol. IVF#2 (DE) - transferred 2 blasts. BFP on 6dp5dt.1st Beta 148. 2nd Beta- 315. 7wk 3d ultrasound - 1 heartbeat 138bpm, measuring 7wks 3ds. My sweet son born via C-section.

Now wanting more kids. I'm afraid of another path coming. Adding 2 more MCs after my son was born. Don't know if I can endure this journey again but so much desperate for a sibling. Please, do tell me some of the comforting words.. Thank you.

Hi Andy, you are living proof that no matter how hard the struggle you can have your baby!!! You will be successful again and could b v lucky first try or there may be a few obstacles but isn’t it worth persevering? Stay strong and positive!!! I’ve had 5 consecutive miscarriages and 1 termination due to extreme abnormality at 14 weeks but I stuck it out even after 3 ERPC’s, fear of scarring and my grand old age of 45 and currently 12.4 weeks pregnant and filled with hope and cautious optimism. If I can be positive and hopeful and pregnant at 45 with my tangled complicated history anyone can if they have it in them to keep on xxx

Thanks so much 😘 Good luck with your journey and keep me posted xxx

Thank you for your respond. We've never considered adoption as willing to have genetically related kids. Furthermore the whole process is not that easy as it might seem. We're thinking of applying for egg donation again. This way we could keep some of our savings. Sadly, we won't be able to afford surrogacy even if it's the case.

Just take it all step by step with cautious optimism and you can’t go wrong 🤞🏼Xxx

Lovelies, just a quick update. We've recently called to the clinic. They weren't surprised much when I said I was going to come back for a sibling This was the thing I used to keep on saying whilst undergoing the procedure. You know, like, if successful, we know where to go next Well this single phone call made my day. I felt so much full of strength and support I've been seeking for through reading your kind posts, lovelies, saying this is just the time to go ahead with my dream. I'm so thankful to all of you! So we're planning our visit to the clinic in a week. We'll see what have changed. (If anything at all.) I'm sure I'm going to be met heartedly there as I've kept in touch with some of the staff. And yes, sweet Natalia44, I surely got optimistic over my coming game. Wish me good luck, loves. And be blessed always!
