Waiting for God to Bless us!

Where to start right? Well my husband and I have been trying to concieve for about a year now and still no luck. I am 22 so you would think that I would have no problem getting pregnant but that is just not the case. My periods have always been irregular and I was a late bloomer starting my period at age 15. I was on the depo shot for a year or so and after getting off of that my periods have been crazy! My cycle is 48 days sometimes at 28 days other times. I just went to my doctor and I am supposed to start taking Clomid on day two of my cycle (if that day ever comes) and on day 7 I am supposed to go in and get an xray to make sure that my tubes are not blocked. Anyway, that's part of my story... any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!

Our rollercoaster

I am 42 years old. My tubal ligation was performed in my twenties because my husband and I had two beautiful children and believed we would never want more. However, here I am, twelve years later, my husband divorced me for another woman and I am finding myself starting life over with awonderful new man. Problem is, he is 17 years younger than me and has no children of his own.

After much consideration we (my new husband and I) decided to have my tubal reversed. I'm very healthy and appear much younger than my chronilogical age, so we thought our chances would be good. We had a VERY successful surgery with over 7cm of tube left on each side. We have used Letrozole for 4 months, but still not pregnant. Each month we ride the roller coaster of hope, then disappointment. We know my age is a foctor, but believe we were meant to share parenthood together. It is one of the most complex emotional experiences I've ever known.

Tomorrow we are going to undergo intrauterine insemenation. The HSG test showed two open tubes with great length, and the semen analysis was EXCELLENT. We are very hopeful that we will have a baby together. Once again we are traveling the "upward hill" that is hope.

I offer my heartfelt prayers to all those women out there who are riding this rollercoaster of infertility wtih me. May God Bless Us ALL with the desires of our hearts.

cant get pregnant

I am 34 years old and my husband just turned 40. We have been very happily married for 8 years. I have 2 kids by previous relationships and he has 3 kids by his first wife. He had a second wife whom he tried for 5 yrs to get pregnant and it never happened. We have been trying for 7 yrs. and not been successful. Now my husbands 16 yr. old daughter is pregnant and it is very hard for me to be around her and it is causing a big strain on me and him if I hear about her or see her and he thinks I should just be happy but now it is really bothering me. We have tried artificial insemination 2 times and nothing. We have both been to doctors and I have had laproscopy to make sure nothing is wrong and everything is good with both of us. No doctor can tell us the problem.

1st time for ICSI

Apprehensive - 1st time ICSI
Hello I am 23 and have been trying to concieve sinci I was19. I was diagnosed with tubal damage and endometriosis 2 years ago and thats when they offered me IVF, since then my partner has had semen tests that have come back baring more bad news ( low sperm count, poor motility) Therefore we were advised to go with ICSI.


On the 09/09/08 we will be starting our treatment and I am so scared and nervous. All of this has made me very depressed and bitter sometimes because I know and everybody else says we would make perfect parents, all my friends and even younger family members have all got there famillies. Im petrified about the egg retrieval as I have been told it is extremely painful. If anyone has any advise for me I would greatly appreciate it.
I know that if this fails I will become very depressed and my partner will aswel, I am worried this will destroy our relationship.


My heart and thoughts are with you all I know how much it hurts and how lonely it can be to go through these difficult pressures.
