About Me
I am a mom of two beautiful girls. Went through IF when TTC the others. Now I'm going through it again, hoping for a third. I thought I had this IF stuff figured out but now that I'm going on 3 years of TTC for another I'm sure I don't. I'm totally in love with my DH but I need help surviving the craziness and ups and downs of IF from women who understand.

Thanks! I am due early February, although it is still so early no doctor has told me the actual due date yet. But I'm 8 weeks so far and everything looks good so we are starting to allow ourselves to feel a little excited! So glad you're enjoying your new daughter.

Close Infertility, Secondary
I am a mom of two beautiful girls. Went through some IF when TTC first DD, the second surprised us by coming spontaneously after not too much time. DH is the most wonderful man and he's trying to support me the best he knows how. TTC again--going on 2 1/2 years of IF and I need help surviving the craziness and ups and downs from women who understand.
Treatments
- Basal Thermometer Somewhat Helpful
- Did it enough to know I ovulate but I've been banned from continuing because I read too much into it and am depressed when I do.
- Clomid Not Working
- Around the time of ovulation I felt so unbelievably swollen and bloated. The swelling/bloating feeling lasted for about 4 days. Then I felt it again a week after ovulation and 3 days before AF. It is like swelling and bloating you've never felt before. Ug.
- In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
- BFP on Oct. 21st! Wahoo!
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Somewhat Helpful
Close Infertility
been ttc for almost 3 years.
Treatments
- Artificial Insemination Not Working
- Basal Thermometer Working / Worked
- Clomid Not Working
- Well, it did work, I guess. It's not really needed because ovulating is not a problem. But I tried one month of clomid anyway and was closely monitored. Clomid made my ovaries become very swollen and bloated. It was VERY uncomfortable. I got 2 follies but then did an IUI and...still no pregnancy.
- Folic Acid Working / Worked
- Follistim Working / Worked
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- Hysteroscopy Working / Worked
- All is clear and fine.
- In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
- Lupron Working / Worked
- Lupron initially made my natural hormone levels increase causing my right ovary to develop a cyst, but is now working properly.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
- Repronex Working / Worked
Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility
I'm PG with one IVF baby after going through IF for 3 years.
