no success yet

Much prayer for you Krs10, just remember that there are some of us that are older than you and we don't want to lose hope, 33 years old really is just right. July 25th is your day, much luck

Hi Krs1o,

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!! I am you sure that it seems like an eternity until July 25th gets here but we will all hope for the best for you. Are you having to stay in bed unitl the 25th or are you past that point in the process?

Crystal: I am past that point of staying in bed. I was in bed Monday, Tuesday, and partially Wednesday (I moved downstairs). I have taken it easy the past few days. I hope this one works. I don't know what I will do if it doesn't.

Try to think positive you must be a very motivated person because it is tough to keep trying but i have me fingers crossed for you and i know i hate it when people tell me not to stress out so i won't say that i will just tell you to keep your hopes up that is much easier to do than not to stress!! I really hope this is it for you and keep me posted on things i am anxious to hear.

IVF #5 failed

I am so sorry to hear that please don't give up i feel for you. I hope that you are doing as wel as is expected after something like that but you are obviously a very strong woman and you will get through it. I am hear to talk to if and when you feel like it. Hope to talk to you soon.

hpt = bfn

So sorry....keep your chin up please :)

Just wanted to give an update on our journey. I took the blood test today and it came back BFN.... I think we are done

Krs10 - not to be insensitive - but have you thought about adoption?

its hard im sure - im so sorry for your disappointment!!! I have just come off a round of IVF which ended in a m/c on 2 embryos that implanted. I too, am done with the whole fertility stuff. I have chosen to take some clomid to help our chances but not to be monitored. I need to get on with the life that i have.

We have toyed around with donor eggs or even a surrogent - have you guys talked about that at all?

gibbler: we have tried to adopt internationally and domestically for four years. Nothing has worked there either. In fact, I am in the process of ending our realtionship with the adoption agency as we speak. We are out of chances.

KRS10- I am so sorry to hear that you are having an equally hard time adopting.. perhaps change agency's, I know alot of people who have successfully adopted.. if we do not conceive its on the board for us.. do you mind if I ask the problems you encountered with it?

Chels: we have discussed surrogecy but we do not trust anyone enough to go through it. There are so many restrictions and I am unsure if someone would actually do it. It is a lot on them. My dh and I have realized that it is just us and our dog. I think ten years is a long time to ttc.

i can understand that, adoption scares the hell out of me as well as having a suroget. I always think that the adopting mom is gonna change her mind and we wouldnt get the baby and i know that if i had someone else carrying my baby i would be a nervous ninny and bug the heck out of them about how they eat and relax and stuff.

Im sorry to hear that you are out of chances and choices but i can understand. 10 years is a heck of a long time to do something and get nothing.

Take care and go on a mega expensive va-ca!!! Where do you and DH live?

Congrtas on making the marriage work thru all the TTC stress, i know its hard and i know people who have not made it thru and ended up divorced. Nice job!!

I'm so sorry krs10 :( I can't imagine going through all this headache for 10 years... ((HUGs)) to you. :)

Chels: We actually have a ten year anniversary planned for Cancun. We are leaving in a week; I think it will be a good break for us. DH is very supportive and I feel bad because I know he wants a baby and I feel really bad that it is because of me that I cannot give one to him. In fact, he came home early just to be with me, which made me feel better.

Thanks to everyone who is supportive of what I am going through. I know exactly what others feel when ttc. It's not easy to go through. I wish you all the best of luck.

Tweeny: sorry to hear that. hope all goes well for you.

understoon krs - fully! I have 2 children from a previous marriage and my DH now has none and just yearns for one so i look at him everytime we have a BFN or another m/c and it kills me to see the pain in his eyes since i cant give him what he wants. :(
