Keep the FaithI just want to tell everyone out there to hang in there and keep your heads up. My husband and I tried conceiving for three years with various treatments (Clomid and IUIs). We were successful with the first IVF and now we have a beautiful baby boy who will turn one in two weeks. God bless each and every one of you. I pray that each and every woman trying to have a child is eventually successful. My advice to you all is to try and stay optimistic even when you have nothing left inside, and also to lean on others whether you meet them on the computer or at the fertility clinic. There are so many women out there going through the same disappointments. Speaking to others gave me strength. Good luck to you all. Mforg My JourneyI am 22 yrs old, been married now for almost 4 yrs now and my dh and I have been trying to get pg for 3yrs, and nothing I use works. I've been through all the testing, hsg, and viginal ultrosound, everything looks good except for the ovaries (polycystic). My dh has a low sperm count, so the only thing the doctor told us we can do is ivf with icsi. We are set to start out treatment next month and I am worried that it may not work. cynthia Grieving again...I posted last week that I was pregnant by pure dumb luck. Well, today our story ends like all the others...I miscarried. I can not even cry...I'm still too angry. I woke up this morning to bleeding and began cramping shortly thereafter, I was devastated. I am so frustrated, I miscarry so early that I fall into the "we don't know" and the "there's nothing we can do" category.I'm just one of those unlucky statistics that you've heard about. I keep hearing, "the odds are you'll have a healthy, normally progressing pregnancy eventually." Well, it doesn't feel like it from our prospective. We can't even be happy anymore once we learn of my pregnancy because we immediately start hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. I'm wondering if I should look outside of conventional medicine and try herbals. I'm wondering at this point if it isn't worth a try...I mean, it has to be less expensive than all these tests and labs I'm having done now! Everything has come back normal thus far and I have no doubt that this HSG is a huge waste of my money because, I haven't any doubt it will be normal like all the other tests I've had. Karen Took A While To Get To This Point, And Can't WaitIt all started when I was with my ex of 2 years, we wanted kids together and we could not have them with one another the old fashioned way since we are both women, so I turned to my guy friends for help, and really had no idea about AI and how much it cost or anything. I was 20 going on 21.Well we agreed that I would use a guy friend to accomplish getting me pregnant, but it never worked I tried for a year. Well turns out she left me for a woman that was already pregnant, so I guess it was a good thing we didn't have kids together. Now I'm with a wonderful woman who I have been with for almost 4 years and we want kids through IUI, which to me is what I should have done to begin with, but hey you live you learn. I went to get all sorts of tests done this month had to have an HSG and get blood work done, man they took a lot of vials of blood. Well the tests came up that everything is normal and nothing is blocking my tubes, so doc says we are good to go. I went for my first IUI yesterday and my sides are hurting and my stomach feels bloated. I'm really hoping that it worked. I had 59 Million sperm implanted in me, does that mean I have good odds? Oh, the wait is just overbearing LOL I'm 25 and set with a job and so is my fiancée, so this would be a nice gift. Jennifer hoping one day i will get pregnantI was told by my GP that I had cysts around my ovaries. I have always had irregular periods although I have never been on any birth control pills.Anyways my story is not a successful one, yet but with GODS power it will be one day. My fiancé and I have been trying for a baby for 15 months but no success. I'm on the age now so I've decided to go to my GP next week to star t me on some medication. Hope they will work for me. PRAY for me and I wish every one in the same situation as mine all the best. faddie Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 | ||||||||||||||||
