thanks Dr. Q - that is reassuring to know. I would love to hear similar stories from others though. Perhaps I will browse through other's journeys

My TTC Journey
June 20, 2008
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site and have gained a lot of strength from reading everyone's stories. Here's mine: My husband (35) and I (36) got married last year. We started TTC right away and got pregnant on the first month. Sadly, i lost the baby after 9 weeks. Thinking that we could easily get pregnant again we started as soon as we could . Well, its now been 10 months and still no BFP. I have been seeing a fertility speicalist and trying acupuncture as well. This month was my first month on clomid and I ovulated (but not sure if i released an eg??) My u/s showed a follicle on the left side measuring at 13mm and also a cyst measuring at 31mm. To top it off they analyzed my blood results and found high levels of prolactin (39.4). I am so furstrated and upset - another wasted cycle I am sure. I am expecting to get my AF again this month. When I do i will go and get my levels measured again for prolactin and take a different course of treatment I guess. I am not giving up - DH and I want to be parents.
Can anyone share with me a similar experience?
Thanks for the support leadies!

Hi Gibber,
Just want to wish you the best of luck on your ttc journey. This is a great site to get support from others who are going through the same things as you.
I have been ttc with my dh for the past 13 mths with no luck but I am keeping my fingers crossed that this month will be ours and your month to get a BFP.
baby dust to you

Latest Update - Aug. 7/08:
Well, we have been blessed! On Aug. 4 I took an HPT thinking it would be negative and to my great surprise I saw two lines -I AM PREGNANT! All things are on track right now with my beta numbers and I am in my 5th week. My first u/s is on Aug. 20 and my EDD is April 10. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one will stick!

chick - sorry i didn't respond sooner. i am not on that often. My highest level of prolactin measured at 50 and was also the month I got pregnant. I had taken carbergolene for 3 weeks (once a week) before I found out. So, I never had my levels tested again to see if they came down. I thougth i had no chance of getting pregnant - but lo and behold...
Sending you tonnes of babydust!!

hailey,
thanks you for commenting - you are sweet. I never thought that i would have problems conceiving and what we have gone through has been difficult. Sometimes I would get down wishing I was younger. We want to have another one as well. I will be 37 in October. However; DH and I are truly grateful and feel blessed to have gotten pregnant again and are keeping everything crossed that this one sticks. Today i am at 10 weeks 5 days and I go for my IPS testing next week. It is to test for any genetic abnormalities (ie. downs syndrome) To me it is just something else to worry about - UGH! I can not truly enjoy this pregnancy as it is full of worry. I consider every day a milestone -time seems to go by very slowly...UGH!
I wish you and your DH the best as well and hope for your BFP soon. We got lucky with clomid and I was on my 2nd month with it. Hoopefully it will work for you as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

gibber,
thanks for warm wishes...i also have regrets that i did not try when i was younger but in reality i got married to the man of my dreams at 36 and it wasn't in the plans for us to meet earlier...and if i think about it, there is absolutely nothing that i would change in my life up to this moment...everything that i have experienced makes me who i am today...so there is really no need to regret anything...
by the way, we even have more in common than i thought - i am also turning 37 in october :-))
wishing you all the best in your testing tomorrow...i a sure all will go well

I have made it to 12 weeks! Today, I am officially 12 weeks 3 days pregnant and everything is going well so far. I have not had any horrible symptoms - luckily no m/s. I consider each day a milestone and look forward to each new day. I had an u/s last week at 11 weeks and we actually got to see baby more defined - truly amazing. He was moving around quite a bit and the h/b measured at 179 bpm. Measuring at 58mm. DH and i are so happy and I am starting to relax a bit more and trying to enjoy the pregnancy. We are planning to tell our families this wekeend and my work next week.
