This is my journey...

My name is laura and i have been struggle with trying to have a baby for a long time. Since i was 16 i knew i would have a hard ti e getting pregnant. That was when i was diagnosed with pcos. I remember asking my ob and endo would i be able to get pregnant and they would say you will just need a little help. Well my little help turned into big help. In 2005 i married my wonderful husband and got a job teaching. 3years later we were all set. Ready to start trying. Since my periods were irregular and i had pcos my ob reccomended a reproductive endo. I started seeing him and he decided that we would start slow. I would start on clomid. Well after 3 rounds of clomid and no response we went further. I started on follistim shots and we would do IUI. 4 rounds of follistim and iui and nothing!!! We then decide to do ivf. I did my first round of ivf and on the first cycle we got pregnant. We were ecstatic. Unfortunatly, my son was born premature at 19 weeks and passed away. After that we waited a few months to try again. I like to do the ivf inthe summer when i am off and less stressed. We did our 2nd round of ivf and it didnt work. We just finished our 3rd cycke and this time my body didnt absorb the hcg shot and i only got 8 eggs, 2 of which became embryos. My embryos didnt make it to transfer this time. We are planning our next round of ivf for june. This is my journey through ivf.
