Success story
Posted By: LindaR and Jacob 11/24/00

I just wanted to stop by and wish you all luck in your ttc journey.
I have stage 2 endo and suffer w/pain during intercourse and ovulation.
DH and I ttc'd for 15 months before getting PG, which was 3 months
after my first lap. I also was on clomid, and DH had a low sperm count.
Be sure you have a good doctor KNOWLEDGEABLE about endo and fertility.
My OB/GYN wanted me on Lupron after my lap for 6 months instead of ttc.
If I wouldn't have found a good RE and listened to him,
I would not have gotten PG.
My sister also has endo, stage 3-4,
and has just conceived (had multiple laps and Lupron therapy).
I know it's really, really difficult to think positively sometimes,
especially when AF shows when you just KNOW you were experiencing symptoms.
But realize there all women all over the world every day
who get PG and you will too. I promised myself
I would spread the word that those of with us suffering
with endo CAN and DO get pregnant and have healty babies...
I and my beautiful baby son are living proof.
Stay positive.
My prayers go out to you all.
When you get PG, spread the word to others!

Well, here I am with my success story! It took us 9 months of ttc.
I'm 31 and husband just 33, married for 1 year.
For the past 2 months I was taking
50 mg. of Clomid during days 5-9.
I also think our success was due to ttc
much later in the month.
For close to 8 months we were ttc on days from
around 13-16. This past month
I noticed cm on day 19, so we contiued to
conceive for another 2 days.
Also during this past month I pretty much gave
up caffiene and have been
drinking lots of water. On my 28th day I didn't
get my period and took a
test which came up negative. Took another one a
day later with a faint line
(First Response Test).
Still wasn't getting my period
so took another test early in the morning
on my 33rd day and it was definately positive!
Sore breasts, more saliva, a bit more tired,
frequent urination (nothing new there for me),
and enhanced sense of smell are some
of my signs. I'm anxious to see if the
Clomid left me with multiple births,
but I'm thinking maybe not due to the
low dosage that I was on. One last
note, on day 21 I had severe abdominal
pain, no bleeding and it didn't last
long. Think that may have just been some
internal changes going on. Anyway,
best luck to everyone. I had been through
all of the infertility tests and
took Clomid, things work out!

We had been trying to conceive #2 for approximately 2.5 years.
At this point I became very frustrated and
had an HSG, endometrial biopsy, and numerous
blood tests. All came back as "excellent or very good".

We decided to try clomid and IUIs since we were seeming
to fall into the "unexplained secondary infertility"
category. The first one was done too early. I got
over anxious and we did the IUI a full day before I ovulated.
The second IUI was well timed but didn't work.

At this point I was in the pediatrician's office
with my son and saw an ad for a mind/body clinic
that specializes in hypnobirthing but has
experience with infertility.
I immediately signed up.
The first 2 sessions were really
basic and explanatory.
The third session I learned how to
warm my hands 5 degrees in 10 minutes MENTALLY.
I was beginning to think that there really was
something to this. The fourth session
I was hypnotized and we replaced my
fears about birthing, PPD, and c-sections
with positive thoghts. I left with a tape
that I listened to every day.

The 3rd IUI was successful! The Lord spoke to me
and told me exactly when to receive it, I scheduled
accordingly and lo and behold it worked! We are thrilled!
God's grace never ceases to amaze me! He has just reassured
me and comforted me through this entire frustrating process.
I always had faith that
I'd get pregnant again but just didn't know when.

My symptoms are as follows:
(Detailed and only for the true obsessors!)

(before ovulation temps baselined at 97.6)

  • 1dpo - 98.0 Very gassy
  • 2dpo- 98.0 Very gassy

  • 13dpo- 98.6 +HPT very strong using Early Pregnancy test. EW (very yellow) discharge and creamy
  • 14dpo- no temp POSITIVE BLOOD TEST!!!

    I'm sending encouragement, prayer or anything else to all!
