Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I had unexplained infertility and today after doing ivf/icsi I'm happy to announce that I'm pregnant! I know the path to motherhood is different for us all, but i think it is worth considering if you haven't yet. I know i would come here often to check in to see who was pregnant and how they became pregnant when they had been originally diagnosed with unexplained and had never concieved in over five years.
Love you girls!

Hi Kris!

Congratulations and may you have a wonderful and healthy 9 months!

Can I ask what other treatments you tried and if after IVF, did they find anything wrong or that was causing the problem? And how many IVF's did you go through before you became so lucky? I'm just curious and need hope.

DH and I have been ttc for 18 months now and we are unexplained. He's got plenty of boys and great motility, and by all account I'm ok too. We are currently in our 3rd and final cycle of injectibles and IUI. If it doesn't work this cycle, it's on to IVF for us.

I love to hear success stories from anyone who is unexplained and is now pg. It just gives me hope we will one day be so lucky.

Thanks......Tiffany

Hi Tiffany,
We tried 4 clomid cycles and we also tried iui but only once and it was without injectables because we wanted to keep the number of babies concieved at a low number. Then we tried ivf and the first try worked. We still do not know what what was causing the problem but at the least the problem is now fixed. We decided to move up a step in treatment everytime it didn't work because of the emotional strain and the fact that I dislike taking medicine in general. Just so you know we had limited ourselves to two ivf/icsi cycles, so if it hadn't of worked I was going to wait a year and try one last time, which would have been the end of my treatment and we would have began saving money for adopting overseas. I wish you the best!

Sorry to post this very sad news but I loss my twins on January 21,2006 at 10:00 pm after 4 hours of induced labor. We had a strep B infection and we were in the hospital for ten days. I fought for my children and almost died myself. I am thankful for every moment of every day. I'm still sad over the loss of my angels as I wanted them so very badly. In December before I had this happen I had gone home to graduate from college and to have a baby shower. Everything seemed so wonderful after working so hard to reach my goals. Now I have no babies and no job.....apparently no one is hiring a biologist right now......I feel absolutely miserable and nobody can help. The things I want no money can buy.My mom calls and says you must be happy up there (we live 9 hours away from home by plane) and all can say is yeah I guess. Anyhow we are trying again in July/ August but I'm still not ready to try. I just feel so much pain in my heart that i can hardly stand it. This could happen to anyone, death is not something that happens to bad people it happens to people who pour their hearts into sometrhing bigger than themselves and whisper a wish every minute for a miracle to save them. I love my kids and I always will.

Oh i am so soooooooooo sorry. This is devastating. I understand what you are going through. I'm so sad to see that you are living through this. No one should have to live through losing a child.
I hope when you feel up to it you will post on the Coping w/Pregnancy Loss or Loss of an Infant/Child bb. There are, unfortunately, many there who understand your pain. Again i'm so sorry. My heart is just breaking for you and your sweet babies.
Hugs,
Jenn

I know we don't know each other and I was just scanning through posts like I usually do and I came upon yours Princess and it brought tears to my eyes. Please know that you will be in my thoughts. I cannot imagine what you are going through.
