Sorry forgot to add
I'm 29 and DH is 28...

I know I am late to join, but this is a great thread. It is so hard to find one where people can understand.

My name is Margo. I am trying to conceive #1. I've had one chemical. This is cycle 33ish. Before that we were NTNP for 6 years. We are both healthy (dh and myself), my tests came back normal. Since I am under 35, the doctor wasn't worried about it. It has been a long road, but I hold onto the hope that I will fell a baby inside me someday. That is what I look forward to most.

Hi everyone,

My name is Alix. I'm 25 years old and we have been TTC #1 for just on 5 years now. I have very severe endo, which is why we decided to start trying early.

One m/c two years ago at 7 weeks, and nothing since.

Reading all your posts is therapeutic and comforting, but at the same time forces me to address all the realities, and face all the emotions that I have pushed down below the surface for so many years.

Thank you all for being here. I wish nothing more than for this to be our month.

Take care xox

crappy news guys!! i'm on lupron for 3 months. it puts me into menopause to shut down the estrogen so the final bits of endo can shrink and die, at least i hope it will do that, so im on a break until march 2012, just what i need NOT!!!!! i can't do anyhing about it but dam is this getting frustrating.

Yesterday my levels were back down to 2.2! YEAH!! So basically I just gotta wait for AF now. Our plan is to wait for AF to come and than go in after that week for my annual exam. By that point I need to decide if I want to see a specialist.

We have been trying for almost 2 years and clomid has worked for us both times I was on it but we haven't had good outcomes (natural m/c and ectopic). So my options are to go back on clomid while seeing my OBGYN once AF comes and goes or move onto a specialist. What would you all do? At any time my OBGYN would refer me or work with me until I had another m/c, than refer me if I do have a m/c.

My fingers are crossed for you mrsboudreault! Keep me posted!!

Aromatherapy, we are here for you during your wait and after, remember that!

Welcome to the board Margo, waiting42yrs, and Alix. I hope you all find this thread helpful and comforting in difficult times. I know I have!

welcome waiting42yrs, Alix & Margo!! glad to see some new people joing the thread -- the more the merrier I say I hope that each of you get your BFPs soon and will be able to share your news. We're here to support you until you do!

aroma -- eek!! lupron? that's too bad. sending a big your way and wishing that the next few months fly by. On a positive note, maybe you'll find yourself less stressed without all the TTC. That can only help when you are able to get back to it in the new year.

dolphin -- glad to hear the numbers are down!! Hope your wait for AF is short and sweet! You're in a tough spot right now, trying to decide the best route, aren't you? Not sure where you live, but I recommend finding a reproductive endocrinologist. S/he will be able to give you a better understanding of why things are working out than your OBGYN. I was lucky and found a great one right off the bat after a referral from my GP. If I was in your shoes, I don't know if I'd do another round of clomid in the meantime. The stress of another m/c or ectopic might be too much for me, physically & emotionally. But I totally get how it would suck to wait it out.

AFM, well I'm off for my CD 21 bloodwork & U/S this afternoon. I'm 8dpo today & the TWW is killing me this month. I started a running class about 6wks ago and I can't help but -- irrationally!! -- feel it will keep a little eggie from implanting. I'm not going long distances, high speed or for long periods of time, so I know rationally that's silly.... but it doesn't keep me from worrying. But I do feel better after a run.

Anyone else find that exercise helps with the strees of TTC & TWW?

i am kinda looking forward to the break, especially at x-mas time. i was thinking last night, wow i can actually have a drink or 2 and not think what if lol. im soo not a big drinker but it will be nice to find somethning else to worry about, like my cat who doesn't like any food i currently put down. lol doesn't matter what comes into my life it has to be difficult even the dam cat.. i am on day 7 of the lupron, and side effects are minimal, i do find i have insomnia, and some night sweats, and a little nausea, but other wise i feel ok. i just hope it continues like this for 3 months and doesn't get worse.. hoping everyone has a good day ttyl

Still waiting on AF should be another week or so hopefully not longer!

Speaking of pets being difficult. I bought my dog a new water and food dish and he refuses to eat or drink from them! When it rains it pours!

Hi everyone, this is my first time visiting this site and I am glad I am not alone in this journey. I am sorry that we are all having problems ttc.. I don't know the terminology yet, so please bear with me.
My husband and I have been ttc since May of 2010. We both had all of the tests done and are both fine. I purchased the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor in June and haven't had any luck with that either. In using the monitor, I now know that I do not ovualte every month which stinks. I meet with the Dr. again next week, and hopefully our next course of action is to look at fertility drugs.
I too have friends that are either pregnant or just have given birth. I love their children to pieces and just wish I could have one of my own. Every time I turn around someone else is announcing their pregnancy. I am happy for all of them and I sit quietly and smile.
There are a few things that I am looking forward when I finally get that positive on a test: 1. The look on my husbands face 2. The first time I feel my baby move inside of me 3. The day that I can hold my baby
Thank you for reading this and baby dust to you all

TTC #1
Cycles TTC 20+

There is no way to describe what I wish for or want most, I yearn for the moment of telling my mother that she is going to have a grandchild, I long for knowing that I am carrying a child that was conceived out of pure love, I long for the moment I have a little hand wrapped around my finger all the while breathing in the scent that only an infant has.
