Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Our Ice Babies...- a little lengthy, sorry :)

Hi Kerrie - how exciting for you to have all those little embies waiting for transfer. Have you decided how many you will transfer at one time?

I too am walking the infertility road - we found out a couple of years ago that my husband cannot have children, so we decided to go with an anonymous donor and went through seven months of IUI's, four of which I took Clomid.

After all those unsuccesful attempts I had a laparoscopy a few weeks ago, which showed I have endometriosis (on my ovaries,bladder,intestines... I'm sure that part hasn't helped my IBS) but, he feels he was able to laser off all of the lesions and that I have a good window of opportunity now to get pregnant. Our next attempt will be mid November - I'm so used to living life in two week cycles.... two weeks til ovulation, then two weeks waiting to see if your pregnant.... so I can totally empathize with the frustration of having to wait!! If I don't get pregnant in the next few months, the doctor would want to go to IVF, but with insurance not covering that, I don't think we could afford it (it costs $10 - $12,000 per cycle here in the U.S.) So, hopefully it won't come to that.

Do you have a date scheduled for transfer yet? I will keep you in my prayers. Hope it goes smoothly and we both get pregnant quickly

Risa
