I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE A BABY FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS.I WENT TO MY GYN BECAUSE I HAD STOPPED HAVING MY PERIODS.THEY JUST STOPPED WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD.I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG,BUT AT THAT TIME IN MY LIFE I WASN'T TRYING TO GET PREGNANT.I GOT MARRIED ON OCTOBER 25,2003.WE DECIDED IN 2006 THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO GET PREGNANT.I KNEW THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE WITH FERTILITY TREATMENT SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY GYN.HE DIAGNOSED WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME.WE TRIED THE CLOMID AND TIMED INTERCOURSE THING,BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK.SO HE SUGGESTED THAT I GO TO A REPRODUCTIVE SPECIALIST.SO I DID.I I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE CENTER FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE IN BATON ROUGE,LOUISIANA FOR TWO YEARS.I LOVE MY DOCTOR.HE TAKES REALLY GOOD CARE OF HIS PATIENTS.HE GOT ME TO TRY THE CLOMID A FEW MORE TIMES,BUT IT STILL DIDN'T WORK,SO THE NEXT STEP WAS INJECTIONS.FIRST TRY I GOT PREGNANT,BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN ECTOPIC.HE NEVER FOUND ANYTHING IN MY TUBES.WE WEREN'T SURE WHERE IT WAS,BUT HE GAVE ME SOME MEDICINE TO STOP IT FROM PROGRESSING.I WAS SO SICK.WE TRIED AGAIN SIX MONTHS LATER AND I GOT PREGNANT AGAIN.EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT.MY NUMBERS WERE LOOKING GOOD.I WAS GOING IN EVERY OTHER DAY TO CHECK MY HCG LEVELS.AT FIRST THEY WERE RISING.MY LEVELS ONLY MADE IT TO A LITTLE OVER 700.WHEN I WENT BACK IN TO CHECK IT AGAIN IT HAD STOPPED RISING.SO DOC DID AN ULTRASOUND AND HE SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD BECAUSE IT WASN'T PROGRESSING LIKE IT SHOULD.HE TOLD ME,"DON'T WORRY YET,I'VE SEEN THEM LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THEY DID MAKE IT".THE HCG LEVEL WOULD TELL.SO THEY CHECKED IT BEFORE I WENT HOME.I LIVE ABOUT 40 MINUTES AWAY AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THEY WERE CALLING WITH THE RESULTS.MY HCG LEVEL IN THREE DAYS HAD GONE FROM 700 SOMETHING TO 53.TWO DAYS LATER THE BLEEDING STARTED.THAT IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET.NOT ONLY WAS I HEARTBROKEN,BUT I WAS IN PHYSICAL PAIN AS WELL.HERE IT IS 8 MONTHS LATER.I'M FINALLY GOING TO TRY AGAIN.DOC WANTS ME TO START TAKING BABY ASPIRIN BECAUSE HE THINKS THAT MY BLOOD IS CLOTTING AND CAUSING ME TO MISCARRY.HE IS GOING TO DO SOME TESTS AS WE GO ALONG TO SEE IF HE CAN FIND A CAUSE.

Im glad to hear that ur TTC again. I hope that the aspirin works and helps the next little bean hold on tight.
It sounds like that ur body response really well to the meds so I hope that u get back on the meds that u were on and that it works the 1st time.
Im glad that u found this site. It has been a life saver for me with everything that I have been through. There are alot of us on here that have been through so much and can help u get through all of the pain and questions that u have.
