      Together 8 years, married 6 years, 5 years ttc, tried everything medical as well as some nontraditional steps, got our first BFP Nov 07, only to loose the embryo's a week later. We did our FET in Jan/08 and got another BFP, then lost the embryo's at 7 weeks. NOW to carry to TERM

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      Did 4 months of treatments before this last IVF trial to bring my pulses into balance.
      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      4 IUI's with hCG trigger, no luck
      Clomid Not Working
      Emotional roller coaster, completed 6 rounds (one every other month)
      Follistim Working / Worked
      Tried Purgon, Bravelle, and Gonal-F, now they have added Luveris
      In Vitro Fertilization Somewhat Helpful
      Completed 3 fresh trials, and 1 FET. 1st trial 2 excellent embryo's, neither attached. Now know my eggs are great though. Second trial 2 excellent embryo's and things looked positive, embryo's stuck around for an extra week then left. Did our FET in Jan 08 only to loose the embryo's at 7 weeks. Did a 3rd fresh trial Oct 08 and got our 3rd BFP. Maybe this will be baby #1.
