Of Months TTC: six months (mostly medicated) for my daughter, 2.5 years of ntnp so far with out a second baby

Date you got your BFP: Christmas Eve, 2010

EDD or DOB: September 12, 2011

What got you pregnant? Four rounds of clomid

LOs ages and names: Beatrix, 2.5

Can you still relate to the current IFers? Sure, of course. And my story was fairly easy to resolve.

Did you have IF for other pregnancies? Pretty seriously infertile over here. Having a baby already takes a ton of the pain away. I'll be sad to not have any more, but I'm a mama. That's all I really needed.

# Of Months TTC: Almost two years with various surgeries and breaks in between treatments and surgeries

Date you got your BFP: January 2012
EDD or DOB: Son born 9/28/12
What got you pregnant? IVF
LOs ages and names: Jay is 18 months

Can you still relate to the current IFers? Yes! Planning on trying IVF again in a few months for baby #2 I love supporting others here because infertility is such a hard, painful and financially draining process for so many! Those two years of battling infertility were by far the hardest of my life. I dealt with depression, jealousy (of other pregnant women and babies) and just was in a huge funk a lot of the time. I wish nobody had to go through it!

Anything else to share? I know it is so hard, but try to remain positive when you can, because the process won't seem as long and you do have to take care of yourself and still live your life as fully as possible. I became obsessed with wanting/having a baby and I'm sure missed out on so many other great things in life.

Here's a few weeks after he was born and outside a few weeks ago.

# Of Months TTC: 13

Date you got your BFP: 11/5/13 (my bday!)

EDD or DOB: 7/17/14

What got you pregnant? our second IUI with injectables and trigger shot

Can you still relate to the current IFers? yes of course. still very aware of hard hard it was to get here and don't know whether we will have trouble in the future with he same issues (I had cervical stenosis due to a leep procedure - which is also why I've been on bed rest since 16 weeks for IC) and for maybe the first 12 weeks I almost didn't believe that I was actually pregnant, I was also so terrified of something being wrong or the possibility of loss.

Did you have IF for other pregnancies? first pregnancy

Anything else to share? just wanted to say keep believing that it is possible and ask as many questions of your ob or re as possible. I found I needed to be my own advocate and push for options other than clomid, etc. I believe acupuncture helped a lot too - mostly with stress and dealing with the exhaustion of counting each day, etc. Good luck

Here's a bump pic from 24wks

@tequiero21: same here! I'm a constant lurker (and occasional commenter) & I'm always so excited when someone gets a BFP

@littleredhairedgrl: You look great, hang in there!

Of Months TTC: about 20 months

Date you got your BFP: I don't know the exact date but it was late October 2013.

EDD or DOB: July 1, 2014. I am currently 27 weeks.

What got you pregnant? IVF with ICSI

LOs ages and names: Not born yet.

Can you still relate to the current IFers? Yes. In some ways, I still feel like I am in the thick of it. I don't think I will actually believe that IVF worked until the baby is born.

Did you have IF for other pregnancies? This is my first pregnancy and most likely my only.

Anything else to share? Just that this is a great community for IF support. The girls on the IVF thread are amazing and I don't know if I could have gone through all of this without their support.

I'm so excited to be able to post here and I still pray that everyone will be able to one day!
