I was 31 when we started TTC. We went through 10 IUI cycles (all BFN), some with hormones by injection. I had the tube test, laparoscopy, hormone testing etc and nothing was "wrong" except mild endometriosis. Moved on to IVF - first...

Thanks, your reply validated my feelings and how I think I will deal with this situation. I talked to my brother about it, he (and I agree) thinks letting my father cool off for a couple of days would be ideal. Then I will call him and...
