Nope. No one that we know.

Both of my sisters have PCOS. Only 1 has TTC'd and after 8+ yrs she and her SO adopted. The other sister is younger and unmarried.

Nope, neither mine or SO's parents had any fertility issues nor did any aunts and uncles. We seem to be a bit of an anomaly in our family

Yes, my mom tried for 4 years before they adopted my sister. Then 6 years later when they decided to stop trying the next year she had me. I have various aunts and cousins that also had problems conceiving.

Nope, my family are all fertile as anything. Same with hubby's. It's really hard, because it means nobody understands just how hard this is for us.

My mom has three sisters & two have PCOS and the third has endo. Two needed IF treatments and one went through IVF but never conceived.

I was close with one aunt growing up & I could relate to her the best. My mom never so much as had period cramps, but my aunt could relate to me!

My aunt dealt with it. But other than that - there are no known issues in my direct family. I don't wish this on anyone, but I do wish that there was a reason for our struggle.

During the course of my infertility treatments, I learned that on my paternal side, one cousin had to have her son via surrogate & another cousin is currently struggling with TTC #1 for almost 4 years now. On my maternal side, everyone just pops out babies like it's nothing.

When I told my mom I'd been diagnosed with PCOS and explained what it was, she said she thinks she had it too. But even though she had long cycles, she didn't have trouble conceiving twice.

My aunt has lean type PCOS, and so do I. My mum and three sisters get pregnant by just batting their eyelids. DH's mum had seven kids in seven years and they all seem to be super fertile too. One of my SILs is really struggling to keep a pregnancy though, she has had several losses.

I was adopted and no one I know of in my biological family struggles with infertility. My adopted mom did though - unexplained infertility for her and my adopted dad. They didn't use birth control and only had one pregnancy (my sister) 14 years into their 33 year marriage. (They're still married but obviously out of their child bearing years. ;))

My mom dealt with infertility (she couldn't ovulate without help) so me and both my siblings are fertility babies. It took her 18 months to conceive me, 11 or 12 months for my sister, and 8 or 9 months for my brother (and with the second 2 kids, she started with treatments from cycle #1).

DH and I didn't have any troubles (thankfully) although I will admit that based on my mom's history, I was worried we would. We conceived #1 on our 4th cycle of trying.

Well, between my mom and her two sisters there are 12 kids and most were surprises. I know my aunt suffered from miscarriages but it's not something that is talked about in my family.

I have a maternal Aunt who was never able to have biological Children. I have one child after a lot of trying and an Injectible IUI cycle. My Aunt and I both developmed Hypothyroidism in our late 20's which I wonder if that is part of the issue. My maternal grandmother had a second trimester loss but that was after 3 successful pregnanncies. No trouble on my Dad's side that I know of and my mom and my sister had no issues.

Yep. My mother struggled to conceive me (she even did IUI in the early 80s), and then never conceived again. All of the women in her line (her, her mother, grandmother) went into menopause at age 40, so we're clearly just a little defective. I went into it expecting to have trouble.

My aunt and one of my mom's cousins also had multiple miscarriages which is what we're going through right now as well.
