Hey Faith,

NO we aren't trying again yet. He is just 4months. we would like to wait until he is 2yrs. I used this site when ttc and then during my pregnancy and met some amazing women. Now I just like to keep in contact with them and encourage and help other women who are trying to achieve their pregnancy goal!

Caden is a fun little man....but a handful! I don't even want to know what will happen when he starts to crawl!! LOL!

Hi Fran,

I'm so glad that Caden is doing good. . . he sure has a face that would pull on your heart strings.

Jane is doing good. She is very sick with her treatment but a smile never leaves her face which is great.

We got bad news last wk re ttc. I am grand but dh has a seriously low sperm count. I have his results on another thread.

Basically we have to do ivf with icsi if we are to have any hope of having a baby. iui or standard ivf won't cut it. We have to pay out of pocket for it too as health insurance won't cover anything here in Ireland. It will cost about $20,000 so we have to see where we can get that kind of money. My parents want to give me the cash but dh has put his foot down so I guess we will have to save. I'm 32 now so we should have it when I'm about 40 lol.

You think it's time for a baby, but life has other plans!

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:33:36 -0500

Hey all this is my story.....

My husband and I met in college and stayed together through graduate school and finally go married after 6 years. We bought a house, became finanically settled and after two years decided it's time!!! Time to have a baby, time to take the next step. We have had our "couple only fun" and so on. But of course then comes the "trying" So like any of you we went off the pill in January '07 and awaited a couple of months to make sure I was regularly ovulating and then began to try. This can't be hard, right! We are two goal oriented people. We want it....it will happen.....isn't that funny. After a couple of months of getting no where I begin to watch for signs of ovulation and found sites like this to help with that. After 5 months and still nothing I had my yearly and asked my doctor how long he wanted to wait to start and look into fertility issues. I had a LEEP procedure because of precanerous cells in Nov '06 and thought this may have caused an issue. He asked a little more about my husband's history and found that since he had an issue with an undistented testicle as a child we may have some problems. He ordered a SA. I was scared to death. Just the thought of there being a problem caused terrible anxiety and of course no chance of me becoming pregnant with those thoughts! With the SA we found low morphology on a strict kreuger scale which means he only has 8% "normal" sperm. We waited to do another SA in a couple of months. During this time I just said heck with it. We can't control any of this....someone has a plan for us......but who and when! We still BD when it was "time" and I still watched for signs of ovulation, but just kind of put it to the back of my mind. I thought in no way was this going to be an easy battle. He went and had his SA again and we set up another appointment with the urologist who specialized in male infertility. Four days before we were to go I tested. It was one day past my standard 31 days! IT WAS POSITIVE!!!! What, are you kidding me! There is no way! but yes it is true! I scheduled a blood test the next day and had levels of 95 for hCG. And then again on Tuesday morning my levels were 545hCG!!!! So I think I'm to be due mid June! I have an ultrasound scheduled for Nov. 7th and a regular ob appointment on Nov. 5th (I was already on Pre-natals my doc didn't think it was needed). It is all truely amazing and I thanked god every day since! Now I know my story isn't as long as many of you and hopefully we wont have any issues during pregnancy. But I want you all to know that I feel for you and think that I will continue to watch and read the posts throughout my pregnancy because they helped me so much. It's funny.....some people just have no clue what it is like to really have to TRY and TRY to have a baby! Good Luck, Thanks for reading and Baby Dust to all!!!
