      Hi, how are you? How is your weekend?

    • I’m With You

      From Jenn1307 Friday

      Hi Sohpia. My DH and I are starting the adoption process as well. We are also sitting on the IVF fence but have pretty much decided adoption is a better option for us. Have you started the process yet? I hoping to find other couples going through through the process. Hoping and praying all your dreams come true. :)

    • Close Infertility

      Always assumed that I would have children later in life (I'm 39) and now that my husband and I are ready, we're not able to conceive. My husband has a high degree of DNA fragmentation (male factor) and I'm a 'poor ovarian responder'. We successfully got pregnant after a 2nd round of IVF but lost our son at 22 weeks. I am now trying to decide whether to do another round of IVF or move on to donor egg/sperm.

      Treatments

      Follistim Somewhat Helpful
      helped to mature the few eggs I had.
      Lupron Working / Worked
      using with IVF at a low dosage

    • Open Stillbirth

      We lost our baby at 22 weeks. He had a rare form of kidney disease that resulted in the loss of all my amniotic fluid. After years of infertility he was the result of our second round of IVF. At 39, I doubt I will be able to get pregnant again, and am too scared to try at this point.

    • Open Breastfeeding

      Lost my baby at 22 weeks and am not faced with the pain of my milk coming in. I need some advice about what to do.

    • Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      Not currently pregnant, but want to find out more about what I may face if I try again after the stillborn death of our son.
