depressed and 3rd iui, pregnant frieds driving me crazy

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:20:27 -0500

Having a hard time holding onto hope and staying positive. My cousin si pregnant and has not even asked how i am...even though she knows i am on fertility meds,a nd have been ttc for 17 months..she only complains about morning sickness, that is a result of her "unplanned pregnancy" with her new husband. How do you handle the constant stress of the tww and people who are completely unsuportive

i am at the end of my rope.

I need a Friend!

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:46:48 -0500

In December 2007, I was diagnosed with PCOS. OBGYN started me on 1000mg Metformin but my stomach couldn't handle it so I quit taking it after a few weeks. My husband & I decided to put the baby making on hold for awhile.

We weren't preventing pregnancy but we're actively trying to get pregnant.

In May 2008, I went back to my OBGYN. I was ready to start doing whatever needed to get pregnant. She prescribed Provera and Clomid CD 3-7. The Provera kicked right in & started the Clomid 50MG on CD 3 & had no problems. I went in for Progesterone test on CD21. My Profesterone was .01! Way too low! No possible Ovulation!

So now I am waiting for my period to arrive & will start 100MG Clomid on CD 3-7.

I would love to have someone to talk to & share this with. Someone who understands how frustrating it is to have every month go by with no pregnancy.

How much of your infertility journey do you share...

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:41:00 -0500

...with friends, family, co-workers, etc.

I have told my sis, my best friends and a couple of people who I can trust from my moms group.

I've talked about fertility treatments with a couple people from church, but haven't told anyone that we've started.

I, personally, hate that look of pity you get from people when they know you're having trouble conceiving. So, when we were trying for Mia, we said "well, we're not trying and not preventing".

This time, we say, "we're trying, but haven't been blessed yet. We're trusting God".

What do y'all do?

The NICE things people SAY or do

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:56:47 -0500

Well I really enjoyed the post about the stupid things people say and do so I thought I would post the opposite~ the nice things people have said or done. I know I get a lot of support on here because we all know what eachother are going through. A lot of my friends don't understand because they have never been through anything like this.

My best friend however, has been awesome through my ttc journey. I have been having a rough time lately. I just had surgery Tuesday(laporoscopy, hysteroscopy, d&c, and dye study). During the surgery they found that both my tubes are blocked. They attempted to remove the endometriosis in my tubes and I have another dye study to determine if it was successful in a month. My dr. has warned me that it is a highly unsuccesful surgery though. If it did not work we will be down to IVF or adoption as our two options. My best friend lives in Guam and set her alarm (due to the time difference) to call me to check how my surgery went. I was devestated to say the least and told her the news. I told her I was ok. (Like I tell everyone). She responded "I know you are not ok and that's ok. You don't need to be ok. You have every right to be devestated and to fall apart for a little while. When you are ready we will pick up the pieces and figure out what to do next" That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. She knows me better than anyone and it is so nice to have a friend I don't have to put on a happy face for. Anyone else have stories of people who have said really nice things to you during your ttc journey?

What this site brings to me { something personal}

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:33:23 -0500

I have decided to make a post about me and my journey.

I would love to tell people who i am and meet people i have not yet spoken to. I think that to get to know people you have to put yourself out there.

I will start of from the start, my name is nicole. I am 25, married to a wonderful man. I am blessed with three amazing children and they keep me busy,LOL.

around 2 years ago i had a missed m/c with twins at 18 weeks, it destroyed my thought on everything i hated almost everything. I finally built up the courage to love life and started to explore the unknown business of fertility and m/c, that is when i found this site. i have learnt quit alot from women who have been through what i have, and everyone on this site has given me strenghth to make it to the next month.

In march i had a chemical pregnancy, but i held my head high and learnt what all this meant.

This month i also had another chemical though i was upset i had so many wonderful ladies here who helped by just being there.

i am now cd 14 and giving it all i have to be a mummy again.

thank you for reading my story and would love to meet all of you at some point.

Tough times....

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:28:54 -0500

Hi Girls

I just got home from TAFE (adult education school/uni) and on my way home I was thinking of how tough its been over the last few wks and months and was starting to get a little teary. But all off a sudden on my ipod came a song that made be feel so hopeful and I wanted to share the words of it with you.

I've been thru countless health issues recently with ttc as well as having 2 miscariages. So like you all I know how hard this journey is. So please read the words of this song. I hope it speaks to all of your hearts the way it spoke to mine

The song is called 'BE STRONG' its by an aussie artist called Delta Goodrem. She wrote this song while she was going thru her own battle, cancer.

This is the song.....Are you swimming up stream in oceans of blue? Do you feel like your sinking? Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through? Well I know what your thinking when you cant't take it. Some time soon I know you'll see.

'Cause when your in your darkest hour and all of the light just fades away. When you're like a single flower who's colours have turned to shades of grey. Well hang on and be strong.

We're taking each step one day at a time. You can't lose your spirit. Let live and let live forget and forgive. It's all how you see it and just remember keep it together. Dont you know your never alone.

'Cause when your in your darkest hour and all of the light just fades away. When your like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of grey. Well hang on and be strong.

No your not defeated and soon you'll be smiling once again. Then you wont have to feel it. Let it go with the wind. Time passes us by and know that your allowed to cry.

'Cause when your in your darkest hour and all of the light just fades away. When your like a single flower whose colour has turned to shades of grey. Well hang on be strong......

Please let me know what you all think. And remember we are in this journey together.

Sending you all LOADS of *******BABY DUST & STICKY SUPER GLUE*******

Telling people....

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 21:51:16 -0500

Hi Girls. I was just wondering if any of you had told your family members or friends that you are trying to conceive and about what you are going through right now. Some people try and conceive and hope that it will be a surprise while others tell everyone that they are trying. I was just wondering how you all went about this and the reasons why.
