I've been stalking this board for some time now but never plucked up the courage to post a message until now.
Firstly, I would like to say what a brilliant website this is. I've learnt so much from reading the posts. I admire all of you for having the strength to go through this IVF lark.
My husband and I have been TTC for more than 3 years. I'm 32 and husband 30. I've got PCOS and husband's sperm morphology is borderline.
We underwent our first cycle of IVF in December 2003 which unfortunately resulted in an ectopic pregnancy.
This was a bit of a bummer because before this my tubes were one of the few normal bits about me. Fortunately, they didn't have to remove the tube. It was slit open to remove the ectopic but I don't know what permanent damage has been done.Got a bit scared of trying again after the ectopic so we left it a little while.
Have just undergone IUI treatment instead. Our test date is 10th August. Not holding out too much hope as I know the chances of success with IUI are less. Also, from what I understand the aim is to have 3 or 4 follicles maturing for IUI. I only had the one follicle so I suppose this lessens the chances even more.
But, as they say, you never know so keeping everything crossed and trying not to get our hopes up too much.
Good luck to all you other August testers.
