    • Close Infertility

      I have been trying to have a baby for a year and 3 months and am really having a hard time with this. All my married friends and family have been able to have a baby. I am happy for them, but so sad that I can't conceive. My hubby is very supportive, but I feel bad crying to him all the time, because I know he is sad about it too. I am in my first observation cycle at a fertility specialist now. I was using my gyn since April 2006. My hubby's semen analysis is fine, and my hsg was fine.

      Treatments

      Clomid Working / Worked
      Gave me 7 mature follicles, and helped my levels to rise during my pregnancy with Danny in 2007. Gave me some mature follicles in 2009, but I was unable to become pregnant after 2 cycles of Clomid.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Not Working
      Used for 2 cycles during Clomid therapy, and did not become pregnant.
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
      Used them for years to see when I was ovulating.
      In Vitro Fertilization Too Soon to Tell
      I will be starting that during my next cycle.
      Hysteroscopy Too Soon to Tell
      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      Worked in 2007 to conceive my son. Didn't work for the 2 months of May and June in 2009.

    • Close Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      I have tried to conceive for over a year, finally went to fertility specialist in April of this year, and I became pregnant during my first Clomid cycle with a IUI times two days. I am just about 7 weeks pregnant, as of tomorrow. I saw the heartbeat this past Tuesday. I have been nervous during this first part of my pregnancy, because I had been trying for so long. I am so happy.

    • Open Skin Cancer

      My parents both have had skin cancer, my mom has had basal cell and my dad basal and squamous cell. I am very fair, and consistently get a skin assessment every year to make sure that I don't get it.

    • Open Breastfeeding

      I delivered a beautiful baby boy named Daniel on February 20, 2008. I have had a wonderful experience breastfeeding and I want to be able to help others if they need help. I nurse until Danny was 9 months. I feel I gave him the best start. I would have done it maybe a little bit longer, but I became pregnant at that time.

      I am a daughter of a woman who sufferred from post partum depression for 4 years. My mom is one of my best friends. She never got the love that she deserved from her mother. Her mother favored her brother over her. When my mom became a mother, she sufferred from post partum depression. It took her 4 years of group therapy to get out of her depression.
