Hello everyone! I am ttc #3. DS is 8 and DD is 5 and a half. Been at this for 15 cycles. First two were easy so this is a shock. First SA said my husbands morphology is low (yet he had two children without an issue so something must have caused it). I did two iui's in jan and feb. BFN both times. Gave up and stopped using opk's. I had bought the online cheapie HPT and ran out of those also last month. I am seeing a different fertility specialist now and git a HSG and a water sono both showing nothing abnormal (thank God). Now my husband has to go for one more SA and then we can decide if we want to do IUI again this summer. I am willing to give it two more IUI's but not ready to consider IVF. I am blessed with two children already and as my ttc journey takes longer and longer I am becoming content with my two. I waited too long after number 2 and now I don't know if I want to start over with my first children at minimum ages of 9 and 7 when the 3rd is born! Yet here I am on the message board and still hoping every month to miss a period! It is so confusing. I wish everyone the best of luck and I hope to hear of some BFP soon! I view others BFP's as hope for all!

jjmgoingfor3 - I am with you. I have a DD who is 4 and a half. the older she gets the stupider I feel TTC :< I started trying for #2 when DD turned 1 and after 3 and a half years no luck. boo! in the early stages of infertility tests now and hoping for a bfp by DDs 5th birthday. good luck to you :)

Just wondering how everyone is doing??? I am on CD 4 just waiting to ovulate!! We having a follicle scan on CD 12 hopefully that will help the timing of our IUI?? The Doc talked about doing injectable hormones next month. Have any of you tried this? Any thoughts?

I'm on cd10 right now, follie check on cd12. Femera and trigger shot. If it doesn't work this month I'm not sure if I'll try Femera again or just move to injections....

I guess i am just scared of the possibility of multiples! We have a son already and would love another.....2 or 3 kinda freaks me out though! So you only have to do the one shot right now though right? Thats HCG? What time in your cycle do you do that?

Hello ladies!
Sorry I've been MIA! I took a TTC break for 4 months. :-) June 20th was last period before this one. Took 78 cycle days and a week and 1/2 of Provera to have a 5 day cycle. I am now CD7 YAY! Also other news,I found a good,listens to me,but very expensive DR. $240 a visit.Husband is willing though. I don't have insurance. He does but Dr says He is healthy (sperm wise) We knew this haha. Dr says He will either prescribe on Sept 17th a few cycles of clomid,If this does not stimulate ovaries then he wants me to do a $1500 HSG test. :-( I wish he would also prescribe Metformin again.
Here's a weird one for you...I had either 2 positive or very close to a positive OPK's on CD 2 & 3 LOL!!! CD4-6 VERY VERY NEGATIVE hardly no second line...CD7 thel 2nd line is gradually getting Darker AGAIN!
Any BFP's since I was gone? Any PCOSers needing "buddies" lol I know I do! ADD ME IF YOU LIKE!
My age 26 (0 children) Dh's age 38 this month.(1 child)
ALSO...I have lost from 178lbs to 145lbs to the natural ways of trying to conceive with pcos.I will be trying Royal jelly pills for Cervical mucus. I don't know what else to do. I did try the Soy Inflavones one cycle but it pushed my period back tooooo long!

genni25 - hi welcome! sadly this thread has been a bit dead

ty...maybe it will pick back up :-)
goodluck fx...Im here if u need me

I'm so sorry you faced infertility. I'm sorry you feel this way. All of us here are in the same boat. My husband and I were trying to conceive for 9 years. During all this time I've been feeling stressed. Sometimes or it's even better to say most of the time, I feel like nothing can help and I want to give up. But when I think that because of my weakness I may never have kids, I feel even worse. At some point I understood that there are still options which I can use to become a mother. I chose surrogacy as an option. I want to advise you to look for options. You can ask your doctor or search the internet. You can use donor eggs or try surrogacy or adopt a child. I know this is hard to take such decisions. But feeling sorry for yourself only takes your time away from you. I wish you not to give up and be strong!

Hi everyone! I'm married, we don't have kids. I'm the reason we are still childless. I don't have a uterus. So we are thinking about surrogacy. The reason why I turn to this option kind of late is that my first husband didn't want to have children. I've been always wanted to become a mother. But I thought as I have no uterus this's my destiny to be childless. When I was 24 it turned out that my ex-husband had a mistress who got pregnant and he left me to be with her and his child. I spent 3 years in depression. I didn't want any relationships. When my ex-husband left me he told me lots of terrible stuff which made me feel that no one will ever want me as a wife because I'm infertile. I moved to my parents’ house. I was sitting home 24/7 feeling sorry for myself. My parents were trying so hard to help me. I was thinking what the point of my life and I couldn't find it. I'm glad that period of my life is over. Now I'm a completely different person. When I was 27 I met my dear husband who made me to forget about that horrible experience. Both of us want to have children. We're thinking about surrogacy. We hope to start our journey soon. But sometimes I feel guilty. As if I'm not letting him be a father. I'm trying to be positive and don't bother him with my emotional breakdowns. I know he loves me but after my first marriage this is so hard not to think that he maybe want to leave me because I can't give him children. I try not to think too much, because my thoughts sometimes make me feel even more stressed then I am because of my infertility.
