It's Me

Hi All!!! I used to be on the site for years and I decided to check back and see what was happening. Glad I did.

DH and I have Twins from donor sperm and IUI. THey are going to be 6 in March. I just had a hysterectomy after an early miscarriage prompted a battery of tests. I would have loved to have more children but I am ok with the fact that this baby maker is closed. I did want to let you all know that I am here if you have any questions I can answer.

I definitely have questions! Did you have any fertility issues yourself before doing IUI? Or was it your husband that had the issues? How long/how many tries did it take before you were successful? I'd love to hear from you. thanks!

My DH had the issues he had cancer when he was 26 and had to have Chemo treatments. We Got Pg with twins on the third try. I tried again and Got PG again on the third try, that one I miscarried at 6 weeks and then was Dx'ed with complex hyperplasia and had to have a hysterectomy

thanks so much for responding! You are the first and only to ever respond to me through this forum. It appears everyone just reads the posts and never responds, which is pretty disappointing. So thank you for answering.
My DH has the issues as well. We are going through the same process as you at the moment. I actually was pg in January and then found out it was ectopic. We were so bummed. We are going to try again in April after I have completely healed from surgery. I feel better knowing it worked for you and that there is someone else who was in the same boat as we are. We feel like it will work for us too, we are very optimistic. However, at times it gets really hard to remain that way. Especially after having to wait after having surgery to try again. We don't know anyone close who has ever gone through this, so we are all alone. It's hard not having anyone to talk to about it.
