I do not know (to the best of my knowledge anyway!) any IVF but I know two IUI babies.

Yes, a family I am very close with did it for the first two children after 9 years of TTC. Then the funniest thing happened and they got pregnant with another one naturally a year after #2. Chalked it up to a fluke, and then got accidentally pregnant a year later again!!! Then they started using birth control again lol

My BFF from high school had IVF and has a lovely healthy little guy. DH also has a good high school friend who had IVF for their first.

My aunt did about 20 years ago, so I don't remember because I was only 5. She had really bad endo, so it never worked. They went on to adopt my two cousins

Some of our very good friends had IVF to conceive their little boy. They had two failed IUIs and then went on to IVF and ICSI and it worked!

Yes!! My sister!

After 3 IUIs that didnt worj and 2 failed IVFs (never got to retrieval) she just did an ICSI IVF and is pregnant!! Super early still but she is soooo happy!

Not in real life, but there are some IF bloggers that I follow that have had successful IVFs (one on first try, another on second I believe). It's really great and amazing to read their stories.

Several friends have done it. Secondary infertility can occur for many reasons, but usually it's not about stress :). A lot of times we never really know why.

Hubby's aunt did for their first! They have cute twins, and was able to conceive their second naturally.

My aunt went through three rounds, but was never successful. My sister is going through it now - she's starting stims next week! And we'll be doing IVF in August. I've heard through the grapevine that a friend of a friend's went through IVF, but I don't know the family very well.

Oh I just remembered! My RE and his wife have three children from IVF. It's the reason why he decided to become an RE.

One of my BFF is 6.5 months now with an IVF baby.

Me! Pregnant w twins on first try, now almost 14 mos! I also have a friend who had a girl via ivf now a year old!

Yes, friends of ours tried it once and it didn't work. They just tried again and are very newly pregnant so I'm really hoping this time works out for them.

A girl from college had twins after IVF #2. My colorist had one unsuccessful round and was preparing for #2 when she got pregnant on her own!

My SIL had both of her children through IVF.

A close friend had it twice and was successful (a singlet) on the second round.

Now, she is 15 weeks pregnant with her second, who she conceived naturally. The doctors told her she would never, ever be able to conceive naturally. She even had 6 (!!!!!) surgeries to correct whatever they thought the issues could be. Now, she ecstatic to be having a surprise miracle baby.

My stepmom had a successful IVF procedure which yielded my twin brothers. This was after years and years of miscarriages. I've never asked her for the details though so I can't tell you much more than that.
