Thought I might start a thread for anyone who has, like me, been ttc for a long time (nearly 3 years in my case).

Would also be great to hear from anyone who was ttc for long time, then got their bfp, to keep those positive vibes going ...

My stats:
Me - 34
DH - 36
TTC - nearly 3 years
DH - initially low sperm count (14 mil), now up to 60 mil (but 80% abnormal and borderline level of anti sperm antibodies)
Me - mild/moderate endometriosis (treated by laser in Oct 05)
Clomid: Dec 05-Feb 06 - BFN
IUI: Feb 06 and April 06 - BFN
Currently on 3rd cycle IUI (day 10 DPO)
If this doesn't work, IVF/ICSI in November 06 at ARGC.

Please join me for support in getting that elusive BFP ....

Hi Madigan- Good idea..
Me/ dp - no tests yet- were due to start in April but fell pg and then had 3rd m/c in June.

TTC -for 3- 3.5 yrs (1.5 yrs to 1st pg/1.5 yrs to 2nd pg/ 6 months to 3rd pg and then 3 months to this pg)

3 m/c in total.

Pg now and am 5+6- having early scan in 2 weeks- still have appointment for investigations but have put in on old to see how this pg goes....

4 years in total

2 1/2 years trying naturally
then 1st ICSI attempt at Bourn Hall which didnt work
FET at Bourn Hall which again didnt work
then 1st ICSI at ARGC, somehow found that I was pregnant before started but it was eptopic
Had surgery after eptopic, lots of scarring so ICSI still recommended which worked and dd 1 is now 4
And then a little miracle came 18 months later who is dd2

Madigan, don't know if I qualify, but here are my stats :

Me 39
DH 45
TTC - 23 months and 3 weeks then got BFP.
DH - normal (according to sperm tests).
Me - normal (according to bloods, internal scan and HSG).
1 BFP in March ended in M/C in May.

Now 6+6 weeks and hoping it goes well.

If it doesn't I have option of IUI and IVF, but can only use them by June 2007 as will then turn 40.
