Moving onto next step...
After 15 months of trying, one m/c, two months of Clomid and one failed IUI, we took last month off of intervention and went back to trying the old fashioned way. AF arrived yesterday.  I've been pregnant three times (#1 - 2007 ending in m/c, #2 - 2007 conceived  who was born in 2008, #3 2010 ending in m/c). All of those pregnancies occurred with 4 months or less of TTC. So, this is a shock to me that I can't conceive now. I always thought my problem was keeping my pregnancies but now I can't even get pregnant. I have so many (over 15 friends) that are pregnant or have newborns that ALL started TTC after me . I know you can't compare yourself to others but it's become impossible. We're going to move on to IVF but I have so many anxieties over it and really wish we didn't have to. But, I really want to be pregnant and can't handle any more BFNs. So, I'm going in for blood work on Friday, starting BCP on Saturday and moving on to IVF. I'm scared, upset, anxious, etc. And, just honestly in shock that it's come to this. We have a vacation planned to visit family in another state the week that I need to start my meds so my RE said I can get the baseline bloodwork and u/s done in that state. I've found and called an RE there today and they've agreed. Wish me luck - I sure do need it.

Re: Moving onto next step...
I am sorry that you are going through this. I just wanted to say that I know that ivf can be really scary but it's not as bad as you might think. Yur chances for success are a lot higher with ivf. The worst part for me was the fear of the unknown and the fear of giving myself injections. Once I started though, i realized that it really wasn't that bad at all. Good luck and I pray that your first cycle will be your last.
