Things are not going so great for me

Well I do want to say congratulations to all of the women who are now expecting. It's a bittersweet thing for me to see other women getting what they want. I myself have had a miscarriage in the past.

I found out I was pregnant in May of 2005 and about a month later I went in for my babies first sonogram and they could not find a heartbeat. It hurt so badly because having children is the one thing I want out of life most. I was not going to be able to pass the baby on my own so I had to have a D & C because I was already 12weeks along. I later found out that I also have PCOS and although it may not have contributed to the death of my unborn child I still blame it.

Since then I have just been anxious and way ready to have another baby and it just seems to not be working. It has been over a year and a half and nothing. We are trying not to use fertility drugs but it looks we are going to have to. We have no other choices.

If my baby would have survived he / she would have made one this month and I think it's time for me to move past the past and move toward the future.

God will bless me!

I am only 18 years old (you guys are probably holding your breath just with the thought of an 18 yr old going through IUI.... believe me I’m not your normal partier, think I know all, and not willing to learn all, 18 yr old...so take a deep breath.)

I started my tests and monitoring in July of 2006... It is now January of 2007... I just got inseminated on the 4th... **crossing fingers so hard I think they may break!! **

Anyway, I do not have any fertility problems at all, I am just a lesbian, and obviously my girlfriend doesn’t have any sperm. My follicles were wonderful, and I had 2 eggs on my left side, and my mom said she heard the nurse say four on my right, but I was too nervous to even hear... so all together 6 eggs... the only thing I’m worried about is that the Dr said the donor’s sperm count wasn’t "as good" as other donors, but he said there is still a good success rate... **deep breath**

I am young and don’t see a reason why it would not work with all the meds... the profasi injection, the clomid, the progesterone, and they actually even put me on birth control pills for 12 days. After my insemination I felt little pinches in my belly and hope that’s the little sperms attacking my eggs... Maybe I will have baby chicks!

It is now 3 days after my insemination and I still feel little pinches here and there, and right after my insemination, and the day before I was sore... I don’t know if that’s normal or not, but I just hope for the best. I raised my brothers, and have no doubt that I will be a good Mommy... Mommy with the capital M. **smile**

God will bless me I’m sure. When you believe you will see... not see and then believe. On the 18th I will find out if it worked or not, but in my heart I know it... I’m about to be a Mommy... me... a Mommy... who would have thought?

discouraged

My husband and I have been trying naturally for almost 3 years and I was getting frustrated. That's when I decided to go and see an infertility specialist. I discovered I had PCOS. I was so devastated. I knew at some point it was going to be a challenge to get pregnant.

I started fertility treatment in September of 2006. I have been on metfromin, letrozole and got an HCG shot but still I am not pregnant. I felt so hopeless and discouraged. Every single pregnancy test is negative. Now I am on clomid 150g and it’s making me sick to my stomach.

Ladies who are struggling with infertility, you not alone. Around me right now people are having kids like crazy. I told myself it’s just not fair in this world. I will never give up

desperate

Well I have been married for 6 years. I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years and no luck. I had an HSG performed and everything came back fine. My hubby had a sperm count and everything was OK also. I haven't gone back to the doctor because our insurance expired. Every month is the same thing, nothing happens.

I'm 26 years old and I am very scared that I will never be able to conceive. I cry myself to sleep every night. I know my husband wants a child very badly but he doesn't show it. He tells me he does not care and that he loves me no matter what.

I just hope that GOD listens to my prayers and sends me a miracle.

infertilty

Well here is my story. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 3 years now. I have had irregular periods my whole life. I would go 5 years without a period and probably longer if b/c/p or provera wouldn't induce one for me. The doctor put me on clomid 50mg for 3 months and I didn't ovulate so now I'm trying 100mg but provera hasn't induced a period for me so I can't start taking it yet.

I think I might have PCOS but have never been diagnosed with it. I have all the symptoms. Sometimes I feel like the only one who can't get pregnant. Everyone around me is getting pregnant but me and not even having to take fertility drugs. Sometimes I want to give up and just say forget it.
