We have been ttc again for the past 9 months without any success. I am hoping it happens soon. Unfortunately, i was not blessed with patience.

    • Close Miscarriage

      After we got married, I came off my birth control and we decided that we would just let nature take it's course and if we happened to get pregnant great, but if not then we would wait a couple of years until it did happen for us. Back in August, I found out that I am not ovulating. Again, We decided to go on clomid and if it worked great, if not we would wait a couple more years. In October, I got pregnant. At 6 weeks I had my first ultrasound. 2 days later I miscarried. It was a terrible time, and now, We have been trying again for 3 months and it is very discouraging. I was fine waiting before I got pregnant. Now that I had the chance to get excited about the whole pregnancy and then had it taken away, I realize that I want a baby more than anything. Does all this frustration and jealousy ever get any easier? I am trying lots of things, medication, weight loss (another thing I am struggling with), charts, it just makes me more stressed. I am looking forward to getting some insight from people going through my same problems. It's hard to deal with when you are the only one you know that has experienced it.

    • Close Trying To Conceive

      I came off birth control in August of 2006 thinking that we wouldn't actively try to get pregnant, but it would just happen. When it didn't, I started clomid in Aug 2007. I got pregnant in October and then miscarried the day after thanksgiving. We have been trying again since March 2008. I am taking clomid and prometrium.

      Treatments

      Clomid Working / Worked
      Clomid is working for me. It is how I got pregnant the first time. I dont really have any side effects from the clomid. Just hot flashes. I do get positive ovulation tests by using the clomid each month. When I am stressed though it doesnt work. I was taking 25 MG and it was increased in October of last year. Now I am taking 50Mg for 5 days during my cycle.
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      I was put on prometrium several times to make me have a period. I would take it for 10 days and after that I would start. This summer my doctor realized that it was the months that I took both the clomid and prometrim that I seemed to have the most successful ovulation cycles. I now take prometrium from day 2029 of my cycle. The prometrium gives me nasty mood swings but that is my only side effect.
    • Open Infertility

      Treatments

      Basal Thermometer Not Working
      I didn't think this helped at all. It basically helped remind me how much I wanted a baby 24/7 and stressed me out.
      Clomid Working / Worked
      seems to work. I got pregnant the first time using this, but M/c early at 6 weeks. The only side effect I had was really bad hot flashes.
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
      It told me when i was ovulating, but I didn't get pregnant.
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      It worked in giving me periods and thickening my lining. I am still waiting on the fertility aspect...the verdict is still out on that one. Gave me nasty mood swings.
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
