Hi everyone! I’m not sure if you do intros here but I want to jump in and start participating since I’ll be doing IVF soon.
A little about me- my husband and I are about to hit 5 Years TTC. Our diagnosis is male factor (low everything). We have done TI, 6 IUIs and now finally moving to IVF. We have no insurance coverage so we have been trying to save up for it. I just had my first appointment today with a new clinic and it went pretty well. They were actually ready to start next cycle but I’ll be traveling for work, so possibly July? I’m so nervous. I look forward to getting to know you ladies better.

Welcome! I'm sorry you find yourself here. We're not a super-active board, but our members have a lot of knowledge, so if you have questions/concerns please ask! There's also an IVF check-in you should feel free to join before or when you start cycling, whatever works for you. Good luck!

Welcome! I am so hopeful for you guys that IVF will be just what you needed! **BFP/Loss mentioned** My ex had MFI, low everything, we tried without a single BFP for over 6 years, meds and IUIs didn't work. Got a BFP from IVF all three times we tried (didn't lead to success, but I've learned since then of my own genetic clotting disorder that caused early losses). Anyways, I just really wanted to give you a story of hope, I know I had gotten to the point of disbelief that conception was even possible for us, but IVF makes such a difference when MFI is involved!

Welcome and good luck! I hope your stay here is short, but please come hang out on other boards too! Thanks! I always want to jump in more but I can usually only come here at night and most threads are done by then (west coast). Since this board is slower I figured I can keep up. 😀

Welcome! I'm sorry you're at this point, but we are happy to have you! The IVF check in has really slowed lately, because not a lot of us have actually been cycling recently (or ladies are getting BFPs, which is always great!) but we still try to be a good solid place for support wherever you are in the process.
