Hey. I never participated here while on TCF (did participate on TTTCAS before that board died) but am making an effort to jump into more areas and get to know more people now that we've moved. DH and I are classified Unexplained IF. He also has a low sperm count, and I have a host of other issues (mostly autoimmune, hypothyroid, RA, lupus/sjogrens, celiac, etc). It took us 4 years to get DS1 (including 6 failed medicated IUIs, afterwhich we gave up on treatments because we could not afford IVF) and 20 months to get DS2.

Hi! Figured I would check in here too. I didn't post on this board on TCF, I posted a bit on TTTCAS.
We are severe MFI, IVF w/ICSI as our only option. We did one fresh cycle for Dd1 and a frozen cycle for DD2 (trigger- and lost a twin early on). We have one frosty left.

I'm partly committed to being here. Enough that I got an avatar. But I still have a bad taste in my mouth about the last 2 weeks. I was kaf7.

I'm here. But it appears my screen name mickey24 minus the pink. I apparently registered for this site and I do not remember doing so.

I lurked at TCF, but would love to jump in. I have a two year old DS from our second round of IVF and we are hoping to do another fresh cycle later this year. We have MFI, hence the IVF, but then it turns out that I'm a pretty poor responder to ovarian stimulation. Oh, and this time will also be considered AMA *rolls eyes*.
Anyway ... Hi!

Oh hi danib! I've never met anyone other than my dad who has sjogren's. I'd love to get to know you and hear some of your experience with it. Hi! I'm actually a bit of an odd case (with pretty much all of my autoimmune stuff). I'm currently on my 2nd Rheumatologist as of a year ago (my first one left the province some years ago, and we have pretty big waitlists). My first doctor debated a lot whether I had Lupus or Sjogrens (there can be a lot of similarities in how they present) but he leaned more toward Sjogrens. My current doctor feels better listing me as Undifferentiated, as I fit the criteria (testing-wise) for Lupus, but my symptoms are on the milder end. So I'm a bit of a mess when and don't really fit into a standard box. I do have the dryness (eyes/nose/mouth/etc) that comes along with Sjogrens.

That sounds really frustrating danib. I'm frustrated with my dad's situation as well. He is currently diagnosed as sjogren's and Cushing's. But I'm not convinced. I wish these things were easier to diagnose.

I wish these things were easier to diagnose. Yeah some of the problem is that there is just so much overlap with autoimmune and the same group of symptoms can be tied to multiple diseases. Add to that, it's highly likely that you have multiple autoimmune diseases rather than just 1. So it all becomes a tangled mess.
