I am just popping my head in here quickly to introduce myself. I have been here before and have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old DD who is the result of HRT FET. My story is that I was put on clomid back in 2007 but after about 4 tries it did not even get me ovulating. I then did OI with injectables and timed intercourse. Great thing was that it got me ovulating, bad thing was after 6 attempts we were still not pregnant. So we ended up doing our first cycle of IVF/ICSI in 2008. Our fresh cycle was a BFN but we got 7 embies to freeze from that cycle. I did a HRT FET immediately after my failed cycle as I could not bear to wait (I was so heartbroken). The first embie that they defrosted did not survive, the second embie which was 6 cells at transfer is now running around dancing, swimming and making my life just more and more awesome every day.
Anyhoo the reason I am back in here is we have made the big decision to go back for a sibling for my DD. So I have my first FS appointment mid this month. We will be looking at doing a FET, but this time we may be able to do a natural one as once I stopped full time breast feeding (so around the time my DD was 10 months old) I started getting my period. I have PCOS and have never had anything resembling a regular cycle. My cycle now is anywhere from 28-40 days, but it is there! It just amazes me to think that being pregnant has helped my body in this way. We have 5 remaining embies and are hopeful that we will get a pregnancy/birth out of them. We have decided that if they do not work we will not go back down the track of stimulated cycles. I will be at peace with TTC and I am already just so grateful for my DD.
So here we go again - I look forward to getting to know all you ladies in here, some I may already know!
Ready to hold your hands and have my hand held as I go on this crazy ride again!
