It took 3 IUI's for me to get my BFP. I have PCOS, so my only problem before fertility treatment was not getting mature eggs and not ovulating on my own. Because of the injectibles, I had great eggs, perfect lining, ovulated, and DH had amazing sperm counts, and we are both young and healthy. For whatever reason, though, I got BFN's the first two tries, but the 3rd time was the charm and we're having twins! So don't give up! Even if everything is going for you, it still doesn't always work, but if you keep trying, you WILL get your BFP!!
Did one round of IVF w/ ICSI in May 2010 (hubby & I originally thought our first steps would be IUI, but after lots of sperm analysis & testing on me, it was determined he had not so great sperm on everything, so ivf w/ icsi was our only shot). Transferred two eggs & received a bfp on June 8, 2010. Delivered b/g twins on December 24, 2010. Still have 21 frozen & possibly in the future (5 years or so), we may go and try again.
Good luck to each and every one of you in your journey. I hope each of you achieves that ultimate goal in the end! :)
Im so happy you are trying again. Im hoping that my baby is still inside of me but if not im definitely with you on October....
Thank You for sharing your stories !
I look foward to seeing more!
You are all right! We have to keep trying, and we can't give up. Sometimes, we just start feeling so sorry for ourselves, we forget what that others have gone through the same, and sometimes, evern more.
Btw" My story is Never had a fresh cycle. Did donor the first round, Dr didn't retrieve them in time, making them pretty much useless. Did get pregnant on first FET (didn't due fresh cycle due to thin lining) but m/c'd. Did 3 other cycles...BFN's. (not suprised, eggs were way less then stellar, but had them, so used them).
Moved on to donor embryos...10 frozen embies.... Fist cycle, transferred 2 embies, BFN. Doing second cycle Oct 2011...
I hope more share there stories!!!

Im still hoping for a miracle....
I love hearing success stories when I'm gearing up for a cycle too! bring them on!!
BFP with DE fresh cycle. Lost my twins at 21 weeks due to the high risk associated with multiple gestation. No other reason (so for those who hope for twins, don't forget it comes with a big risk).
Chemical pregnancy with DE FET.
BFP with second and very last (no more embryos) DE FET. I now have the most beautiful daughter in the world.
It is possible, please keep the faith. Having gone through a failed DE FET, I know it's very difficult to think the next time will work. But I am living proof that it happens! All it takes is one good embryo. Yours is out there and just waiting to get inside your uterus!!
Hugs to you.
