My husband and I suffered a miscarriage in August of 2002, I was 9 weeks pregnant. That was so hard on us seeing that we tried to get pregnant for 2 years. I decided that we would try again a month after the m/c. I began taking Maca root, False unicorn root, Wild yam (after ovulation), began accupuncture. After 3 months, no pregnancy. Hubby and I agreed we would wait a couple of months because the temping thing was getting tedious. I got a new job on 12/06/02, my period was due on 12/07. I got the usual cramps and had a very light brown discharge, nothing red. On 12/08 I had a brown spot in my underwear. I knew something was up. On 12/09 after work we went to the store and purchased a h.p.t. I just knew it would be negative as usual. Low and behold 2 lines 2 strong lines. I started screaming and jumping up and down. I was so happy yet scared. I am now 11 weeks pregnant and on progesterone. I have seen the babys heartbeat, and seen my little baby moving his/her arms. I hope everything continues to be ok with us. To my sisters out there ttc your time will come as soon as you put it out of your hands. -good luck- Aisha |

Monday, 20 January 2003, at 08:37 AM I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! I mean I just had this feeling but I'm still in shock! After 15 very long months and my first round of clomid I'm finally pg with #2!!!!!!!!! I woke at 4:00am this morning because I couldn't hold it any longer and I had to pee...so within seconds there was a second line. Its not super dark but its there for sure! I went to check on dd and she happened to be awake so I took her into see dh and had her wake him and she told him, "mommy going to have a baby"! So cute. She went back to sleep but of course I couldn't! Anyway then dh went and looked at the test and I could tell he didn't believe me until he saw it. Then he said ok there is a line there no doubt about it, it doesn't get any better then that! WE are soooo excited and happy! I am going to call the dr for a blood test today. We are going to a family dinner with dh's family this Saturday so we can tell them all there! The only thing I did different this month besides the clomid is taking Robitussin 4 tsp a day from af to O. And I started exercising again. We also bded the 2 days before O and thats it! We didn't bd the day of O or after... My symptoms were the same as any other month. In fact yesterday morning the cramps were so bad I took tylenol and really thought it was all over. But then about 5:00 last night they stopped and never started again. That got me to wondering. Also my lower back hurt which is not normal for me and I kindof ached all over like with the flu. The only other symptoms I had were the fact that not only my boobs hurt but my chest actually hurt and I was really hot last night. My temp this morning was 98.9! I totally felt like God made a way for us when there seemed to be no way. My obgyn and my Re both wanted to do testing we couldn't afford...no IF insurance. Then on the day after Christmas my mom calls to tell me her brother, my uncle an obgyn was prescribing me clomid. He couldn't understand why the my other drs wouldn't just give me a chance on it. Until I got that phone call I was soooo depressed and it changed everything. A good friend once told me do everything you can and let God to the rest. Well I had done just that and you know what? The Lord stepped in and did the rest! Also I just have to tell you this month dd prayed for me to have a baby. She is 2 1/2 and I would just catch her during the day praying with her little head bowed and her hands folded. Really gets to your heart to see that. Then this past week I keep asking her if I was going to have a baby and she said yes. Ok here is the crazy part: I asked her at two different times when I would see a yes or no on a test. And every time she would say Monday! It's just so amazing! So if you can say a prayer the hcg levels and progesterone levels are ok. I probably won't have the results until tomorrow some time. I feel in my heart the baby is fine but it NEVER hurts to pray. Right now I feel a little cramping but its not bad at all. So for all you Monday testers who is coming with me to the 1st trimester board????? Love and hugs!! Chel |

I would like to share a story with you all. I was 29 when I find out I had a lot of problems conceiving. After 3 years of seeing from doctors to doctors, no one can find out exactly why I could not get pregnant. So at age 32, my husband and I decided to go through IVF. We were very successful with that. I was pregnant with triplets. But I went into premature labor and delivered the triplets at 5 months and 2 weeks old and we had to let go. After lost of the triplets, we wanted to get pregnant right away. So the doctor put me on clomid 50mg. Cycle after cycle, it wasn't doing anything. So after 2 rounds of 3 months each on 50 mg, I went off clomid for 3 months. Than the doctor finally decided to put me on 100mg. This was it for me, because at that point, it had been one year since we lost the triplets. if I did not get pregnant this time, I was ready to do IVF again. Because the doctor told the wait time for IVF is at least one year. I had been taking temp. in the morning for 5 years. And for the first time, I noticed my temp. stay up high for over 16 days. I took pregnancy test and it came out negative. I was so disappointed. I kept the test, hoping may be it will turn positive, but I looked and looked and it did not change. Three hours later, before we left the home. I decided to toss the test into the trash. That's when I was shocked. It had changed to POSITIVE. I was speechless. I showed my husband the test. At first, he couldn't figure out what I was showing him, than it hit him. We were so happy and we hugged and kissed with tears. Our son is now 2 1/2 years. He is health and growing big. We are working on the second and I am back on clomid again. I hope the story will help women who are trying to conceive and have not success is "DON'T GIVE UP". It will happen. Things always happen to you when you are less expected. |

It�s official! After 18 month of medically assisted trying, we finally did it! We are officially pregnant. I had to post my story because all the other success stories helped me so much over these long months. Here�s my story:
I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor in 1992.
This was our last chance before moving on to IVF.
Ladies, don�t give up hope! It can happen.

I thought I'd tell my story to reassure others TTC
Off I went in Aug 2000 to one of our top IVF doctors in Australia
I was convinced that I wasn't getting pregnant because of my long left fallopian tube.
Anyway, I was always lurking on this board and I had sent Momma Kath an email.

I didn't write a success story before this because I didn't want to jinx myself. I had such a hard time getting pregnant that it was hard to beleive that I really was! I know that two years isn't a long time to try, lots of people try longer and harder, but for us, it seemed an eternity. We made the mistake of telling people that we were "trying" and every month, everyone would be calling, wondering if we were pregnant yet. Every month, I held my breath, getting excited over the one day late, only to be disappointed every month. After a year and a half, I started hurting and bleeding before my period was due. I went to my clinic and saw an ob/gyn I hadn't seen before. She was pregnant and when she was explaining to me what was wrong, she very nonchalantly said that it was probably just caused by an early term miscarriage, no big deal. I was crushed. She had no sensitivity at all! I tried to avoid the topic of pre! gnancy with everyone. In the meantime, I got three new nephews and a new neice. I'm the oldest of five and all of my siblings now had children except for me. My youngest sister, who had just turned 20 when her son was born started lecturing me about when I was going to get my act together and start having babies. I wasn't getting any younger, you know.
This past January, after two years of trying, my husband and
I had a kinda rough pregnancy.
Claire Elizabeth is now 8 weeks old (she'll be 2 months on Dec 14).

�Praise the Lord, God does answer prayer.� My husband and I have been trying to conceive for almost two years now. We had so many test and procedures done, like most of you and we were emotionally and physically exhausted from the journey. I don�t want to take up all your time with the details, but I will say this. We were scheduled to go to the RE on Monday 12/9 to begin treatment, but on 12/7 the Lord Jesus blessed us with the news of his for us miracle. I was only 2 days late and that had not been a new thing for me, in addition I�m in school and I attributed it to stress. After praying Saturday night, the Lord spoke to me and said, �Go take a pregnancy test.� I didn�t want to believe it was God�s voice, I was so scared because I thought I had heard that voice before the numerous times when I went ahead and bought and was disappointed over a negative test. But thanks be to God, I was obedient and went to get the test. I had just read in a book earlier that day entitled �God Chasers� by Tommy Timmy (pg 148) that ..�a prayer is being answered today!� Ladies as happy and overjoyed as I am t o share my news of p regnancy, I really want to share with you my love story with Jesus. That is the real success story in this story. It wasn�t until I surrendered my will to God, and told him, �Lord, If I never have a child in my life, what I want most is to see your glory. I wanted to be a God Chaser, but my pursuit of God ] had been compromised by my desire to have a baby more than my desire to have him. I had spent so much time seeking God�s blessings, that I stopped seeking him. I began to worship a dream to have children, instead of worshiping God. I wanted something from God, I really didn�t want him. I became a �in the good times� child of God, but when God seemed distant and deaf I was angry and untrusting. I leave you with this, know that God is able to do all things exceedingly well, but it is most important for us not to treat God like a solar Santa Clause who�s mission in life is to give us all we want. Our lives are not about us, but about his glory and praise. I implore you to find a way today to seek God�s face and not his hand. The Lord wants to be able to trust us and know that even if we don�t get everything we want, his children believe and know, that he is all they need. Pursue God and watch what he will do! I am praying for you always. Don�t give up on God! Sarita |

Hi, I just thought I would share my experience with you. I live in Anaheim CA. I had been trying to become pregnant for the first time for over six years with no success. This last November my sister took my to Ripleys to rub the statues and I rubbed each one from head to toe. I tell ya, it worked!!!!!!. I took three pregnancy tests and they all come back positive and I still couldn't believe it. I went to the doctor and was so happy to hear that I am pregnant and I am so very happy. This whole experience with the statues is so awesome. I am a true believer and my sister thinks she is responsible because she took me :). Anyway I just thought I would share my story with you. Take Care, Lora |
