Its been awhile since I emailed you just wanted to let you know that we are Pregnant we just found out last Thursday expected due date April 10 after one month of false unicorn root we are expecting & I wanted to say thank you for all the advice. Thanks, Jamie, Dan & BABY I have been married for a bit over 3 years now. My husband and I were basically trying from day one. Or shall I say we just never used any type of birthcontrol. Well one year went by and no baby and no periods. I was driving myself crazy thinking that I was pregnant because I didnt have any periods. The doctors were not even willing to help me. All they kept saying was, you are too young to have a baby, let me put you on some birth control pills. Thats what you need. I would never accept that response. They basically harrassed me and tried to make me go the pill, but I never would. So the 2nd year comes around and still no baby and no period. I finally got a doctor with some sense. He did an ultrasound and some bloodwork and saw that I had PCOS. So he started me on clomid. 50 mg of clomid and still no baby. I tried herbs after this and I ovulated but still no baby. So here comes our 3rd year into marriage and still no baby and still no periods. I found the best doctor in the world. She gave me some clomid to try, but she also made me get an hsg to see if my tubes were blocked. I went ahead and took the clomid before the hsg trying to be positive about the whole situation. I finally got the hsg back and what a nightmare. Both of my tubes were blocked. I cried and cried day and night. So my husband and I went to the doctor and she said that I had to have surgery. I went in for surgery about 2 weeks later and everything went well, she unblocked my tubes and did an hsg and they were completely open. Here comes the good part. About 4 days after the surgery, I was feeling kind of strange and tired. I though that maybe the anastesia from the surgery had not completely worn off yet. But something deep within was telling me to take a pregnancy test. So I got up and took the test and guess what???!!!!!!! Positive right away. I could not believe it so I took another one and positive again. I freaked out I was so nervous. I went to the doctor and they said congratulations. You are pregnant. I GOT PREGNANT BEFORE THE SURGERY WITH 2 BLOCKED TUBES!!!!!!!!!! So I just want everybody to know, never give up and just give it to God because he is the creator of babies not the doctors. I got pregnant when I least expected it and when I thought that I never could have with 2 blocked tubes. I am 7 weeks now and everything is fine. I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time last week. It is amazing. So everybody just keep your head up. I am a living testimony that it will happen. Kristy I have been visiting this website for some time now, especially every month when my period would come. I never posted anything, but I found great comfort in reading the success stories hoping that one day I would be able to write one.. well low and behold, that day has come. I started trying when I was 30 years old,
My symptoms: The doctor said these symptoms should subside after the 1st trimester, but I am 14 weeks and they are still here.. it's all worth it! My advice to everyone is:
I truly cannot believe that this is me writing this I was on the last month of a 3 year struggle. I say last month because I decided that I would end by fertility quest after this cycle and lo and behold I did!!!!!! I became pregnant ! with my 5th iui with injectables and male factor, for those interested I did post about mf on that board. We used proxeed which I think really helped. As far as temps and symptoms I did find that on day 5 my temp dropped to an
I really did not have symptoms other than some weird hunger cravings...I
On a personal level I changed as a result of this infertility. I sought my
My husband and I are ttc for one year. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me clomid 50mg and I got pregnant on the next month I took it. I think it was also with the help of taking vitamins which is folic acid and evening oil primerose. I took it together with the clomid and keep taking it until I realized I was pregnant. I was so happy now and I could'nt believe that I was pregnant. I'm a tad scared to write this at 6 weeks PG, but am excited to share my adventure to pregnancy. I'm 27, and have wanted a child for about a year. In July 2002, I got my last period due to stress and losing too much weight, and tried everything to get it back. After going off alcohol, caffeine, and overly sugary foods completely, I did pilates, reflexology, took many vitamin and mineral supplements, licorice tea, and Vitex. Finally in April 2003 my Period was back. A couple days before AF came, I had gone to a RE who wanted me to do Provera, then Clomid after. I really didn't want to take any drugs, wanted to go about things as naturally as possible, so thankfully AF came, and I never even used the Provera I had just bought. Well, we tried for all of April and May, and nothing. Then June I went back home to Canada (I live in Australia with DH), so DH and I were apart for over a month. He had business in England for the month of July, which I went along with him, so we could try again-nothing. July 29th I got AF and was soo sad. I had been not drinking any alcohol or coffee since Feb 2003 and was wondering why I was bothering. Then it happened in August. We flew bak to Australia around O time, so I don't know if we conceived in Canada or here, but on August 31st I took a 2nd HPT (I always have to hide them from DH), and it came up + in a minute. I was on CD 33 and I think 18 dpo. I was elated... thank you God Jehovah. I was walking along the beach to breakfast with DH and asked him what he thought of being a father in May. He said not to think about it, so I told him he was going to be a father I was PG, and he wouldn't believe me! Finally he did and was just as happy as me. I'm now 6 weeks, had my beta done about a week ago and was 249. Now for the best part: SYMPTOMS! My boobs are still really sore and growing,

Paula, TTC #1, 33 The passage below was written on 5/19/03.

The fall came and still CM issues, cycles were shorter (thank goodness)

Thanks to everyone on this website who provided support and
Paula, age 33, baby #1 due 11/7/03. Hello, I am so excited typing this email. My DH and I have been trying to conceive for a year without any success. My regular doctor had me monitoring my BBT every morning & that was not working for me...some mornings I'd forget or I didn't write it down anyway after keeping up with it for 2 1/2 months I lost my calendar with all the temps! I could have died all that work was gone & I just knew she would want me to start all over again from scratch. I made an appt. with my GYN in June '03 to begin infertility treatments, they did all sorts of tests & ultrasounds to determine if I was ovulating..blah blah blah & I was I was passing every test left & right...but no little one. I have a great GYN, he's even handsome so you don't really mind him taking a peek. ;-) In July my GYN wrote me a prescription for 50mg of Clomid which I took on days 4-8 of my cycle, on day 14 I went into his office to get an HCG shot, on day 15 DH went to a sperm lab & had his sperm washed, I left work early picked up the sperm at 3:05 & was on my way to my dr.'s office to be inseminated. While I was driving to the dr's office I couldn't believe I was having to go through all of this, when you're a teen (late teen) & into your 20s you're so careful not to get pregnant & here I am at 29, a happily married women, with the house with the white picket fence, two dogs, and a bird & I'm having to be artificially inseminated. Whew! Well, long story short I had the sperm implanted, wasn't too uncomfortable a little cramping. My dr. asked me not to get my hopes up, there was only a 20% chance that it would work the first time. I told him I wouldn't and walked out the door & literally tried to forget what was had happened. When DH would ask how I felt or if I got AF I just shhh'd him & kept getting up. When it was time for AF I had my usual cramps & thought to myself, darn it didn't work. But I kept doing my regular routines without thinking too much about it. Then I had missed my period...I am always on schedule, I felt cramping still & my breast were very sore, but thought maybe the clomid, HCG shot & IUI had some how messed up my system somehow & AF would soon be on the way. I waited til I was 5 days late & took a pregancy test & it was positive...still I couldn't believe it so I took a 2nd test a few days later ...still positive. I called my dr. and scheduled an appt for 2 wks later, by the way my husband is going crazy at this point. I had my first OB visit on 9/9/03 and it was confirmed that I was 7 wks pregnant. I started crying right there in the dr's office. I was so excited when I got a little tote bag filled with goodies on expecting a baby. I had seen so many women walk out of the office with those bags & me wondering if I'd ever get one. Now I'm occupying a lot of my time on baby websites, picking out cribs etc, we are thrilled! Well that's my story. I'm sorry it was so long. Ladies please keep on trying & don't give up! Thank you, Edna 41 years old and pregnant!!
Your website has been invaluable to me. I found your site about a month ago. After 9 months of TTC #2, I finally got PG! I took Red raspberry, EPO and FSO, also baby asprin and ate lots of carrots. I started spotting when AF was due. I thought it was starting, then I had nothing for 2 days, except sore BBS. Started bleeding a little bit, then it stopped shortly after. I took a HPT the next morning. It was a light positive. I called the DR. with anticipation as to whether this one would stick. I had a beta done the first time and it was 65, just got the results from the second one and HCG was 141. I can finally smile! I will do a follow up beta on Mon, just to be thorough. I know I have a long road ahead of me. Thank you for this wonderful site. I thought all hope was lost until I found it. -Toni |
