Trying to conceive number 2....

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:14:38 -0500

So I guess I will finally get around to posting my journey. My husband and I have a beautiful, healthy 10 month old little girl, Abigail Noelle. She is such a miracle to me because I have 45-50 day cycles and do not always ovulate. We knew it would be tricky to have babies so we got started...lo and behold there she was...the FIRST month we tried!!! She is such an amazing little person and we feel so blessed to have her!

We wanted to try for our 2nd one so we could have them close together and also because we knew we were truly blessed with how quickly we were able to conceive Abigail. We began trying for another little blessing around April or May. I was still nursing so this proved to be a little tricky. I quit nursing in July and had one period. 55 days later still no period... I went to my OB and he started me on progesterone. My body is having a hard time regulating since having my little girl and given my history it is taking even longer than most women. I have had one period on progesterone and am currently taking my second round. I take 10 mg for 10 days. When I get this period my doctor will start me on Clomid. He first wanted me to have 2 full periods. Ironically, I was set to start Clomid the month after I found out I was pregnant with Abigail and never had to use it =). I am a little nervous but have been doing my homework and it seems safe! I can't wait for these 7 more days of provera to be up so Aunt Flo can pay me a visit and we can start ovulating again =) Hee hee...I never thought I would be so anxious to get my period!

Trying to become a mother.

Hi, I have been married to my wonderful husband for 3 years. In about February of 2007 we decided that we would like to start a family very soon, but being naive we decided that we would wait to start trying for a couple more months so that the baby would have a "good" birthday. In Canada anywhere between the middle of April until the end of September is considered a "good" birthday. So in June 2007 we started trying for our little miracle. We learned very quickly that this was not going to be as easy as we thought. We have now been trying for our little one for 13 months, which I know is not long compared to some of the other ones with aching arms.

I have irregular cycles which makes things all that much more frustrating. My cycles will range anywhere from 30 - 45 days (I was devastated with the 45 day one), and once I have my monthly it will last for about 7 days (with spotting on either side!!). I live in a small town so the medical care available is limited and the doctors here do not know a lot about fertility. You need a referral most of the time in Alberta to get in with a specialist, sometimes even to see an obgyn and then it is between 1.5 - 6 hour drive to get to them.

I am currently on CD14 and just finished a round of clomid 50mg on days 7-11. My doctor thought that you couldn’t take clomid if you were still bleeding so he started me late... that is what I mean by limited medical care. So I guess I am in another 2 week wait, but I try not to think about it too much. I do think however that the clomid helped me to ovulate earlier, because I think I ovulated yesterday and I usually don't until CD19-20.

Sometimes my heart and my arms ache so bad I don't know what to do. It's like you cry so hard it is an out of body experience, like this person isn't even you.

My sister-in-law just had her little miracle by emerge. c-section last night. So I'm super happy for them (ttc 1.5 years, 1 miscarriage) but I still feel a little sorry for myself. They also had the first girl in 3 generations which made my husband really sad because we were hoping to be the ones to break the record. I guess we are selfish. :)

Husband suddenly not okay w/it all............

So I have spent 5 months on clomid, w/ultrasounds every month and dealing w/ uncomfortable symptoms, had an hsg done and I asked my husband to get an sa done and all of a sudden he is not okay with this..............and now he starts telling me that he hasn't wanted to bd w/me because he feels like "the ends to a means"....what does that mean?? And why is it okay for me to go through all of this, but he can't take this little test?!?! He gets to do this in privacy even and I have to be out for God and everybody to see everything that I have....I'm just so frustrated and upset and feel like everything I did was for nothing..............
