I think this is a great thread to have going. I was just thinking about starting one when I saw this one. I have been taking a break for a couple of months now, but I'm ready to get started again. We have 2 snowbabies! I will be having
next week and then I will call the RE's office and see what we do next. I'm already on BCP so we are at least that far.

I am 34 years old, and have been ttc second baby for two years. I have endo, but don't know what stage. I concieved first baby through natrual cycle IUI. I tried again when he was almost two. We went through 6 failed IUI, 1 failed fresh IVF cycle. The very first FET cycel was a winner!!! I am now 7 weeks preggo with 2nd baby. I really feel that the amount of stress your body goes through during a fresh cycle has an effect on the outcome of results. I really believe in FET's!!!

I'm new here. I'm glad to see this thread. It looks that most people here succeeded FET the first time. I experienced one failed fresh cycle and one failed FET cycle. I still have 6 embies on ice. Ironically, I produced "perfect" embryos (all grade A) but they just didn't stick. I'm wondering if I should keep trying FET. I will have consultation with my RE next week, but will appreciate if someone can share stories about FET success after one or two failed FET cycle.
