Overwhelmed

My husband and I were on our 15 month on Clomid at 250mg daily the last 7 mths. I got upset with my Dr. b/c he would offer no other treatment plan, so we dicided to go to a different doctor. When we saw the new Dr. for the first time he was in disbelief at the mg of Clomid I was taking along with 1500mg of glucophage each month. He stopped me from taking anything for two months and had my husband get tested to make sure he was not the problem and actually his count was low but nothing to worry about. Now, we will do 100mg of Clomid in November and have our first and hopefully only IUI done. We pray that this will work without having to go into deeper procedures. Good Luck to each of you.

Hoping for the best

My husband and I have been married for 3 years and trying to have a baby for 2. My husbad had a vasectomy a few years before we got married so from the beginning I feared that having children would be a challenge. After two reversal surgerys, we have sperm! and lots of it. A year and a half later however, still no baby.
So, the dr's turn to me. After several tests including a biopsy and and hsg everything looks fine, but still no baby. A recent blood test just revealed that My progesterone levels are to low to sustain a pregnancy, so I have started drugs and am hoping that next week I will be able to have an IUI. I am glad that I found this web site and I am glad that I am not the alone in this frustrating process. I wish you all the best. I know that the Dr's will do all they can to help us and the rest is up to a higher power. Here's to all of us, hoping that each day brings us closer to sharing our lives with a little baby.

How agressive is the question.

The question lurking in my mind at this point is how agresive should we get. I know that babies come from a higher place and that the miracle of conception is a huge mistery to ALL of us. When and how souls decide to make the trip back to this reality is only up to them, but I can´t help thinking one of those souls is ready and we are just not preparing fertile ground.
In my case I am a mother of an 11 year old child who came to my life almost efortlessly. I have always wanted a second since then but I went throug a divorce and just settled down after 6 years of living alone with my child. Now I turn around an I´m suddenly 40 years old and married to a wonerful man 8 years younger than me. We want a baby now and ironically I have a 3rd day FSH of 7 but he has a low sperm count with low motility and poor morphology. The first Fertility doctor we went to see recomended to do In Vitro with ICSI but my husband was in shock and wanted a second opinion. Our current doctor put my husband on a treatment of 8 weeks that consisted on Q10, Lysine, antibiotics, antiinflamatories and cough syrup tu help licuefy the semen. After this he says he is better and we are trying IUI. Although I´m happy because he is happy i´m not convienced because his morphology is 3% and I think this alone is enough to try ICSI. Does anyone have expirience in this?

to "frustrated"

Dear "frustrated",

I just wanted to tell you that your life means a lot to an awful lot of prople with or without kids. Your life has a meaning to all the people that love you! Yes, it is great to have kids and raise them, but there is more to life than the mere capability of conceiving.

We are having problems as well, but if I think about my husband, or my mum, or my friends, I believe my life is worth living even just because of them. And anyways you could always consider adoption or IVF or other solutions, as long as you do the journey with the person you love.

People that haven't got any problems feel very good in showing how easy it is and how they are been given this great gift by God. Let me tell you: God is way too busy with world peace to get envolved in every particular case and just tell people at dinner to shut up and eat their meal.

By the way: I think the best one is when they say to relax. It's because you're stressed and you think about it that you don't get pregnat. Yeah, right and thank you very much.

A big hug
