Husband and I became pregnant 2 years ago and miscarried. Since the miscarriage my periods in the beginging were sometimes 45, 60 and 70 days long.It was so frustrating. I finally started using the ClearBlue Easy fertility monitor that my doc suggested and my periods became 30-35 days long. my doc said my nerves and anxiety was so high that my ovulating was delayed. So now my periods have regulated to 30-32 days and this has been going on for 8-9 months, but still no pregnancy. In feb 07 i had a D&C, checked for blocked tubes and my doc checked for endometriuous (mispelled) and nothing was wrong. She told me that after surgery there was an increase of about 85 % for pregancy. WEll i'ts June and no pregnancy, i go back In July if i don't become pregnant and I'll start Clomid (i tried if a year ago and it didn't work)does anyone have any ideas that i havent done. my husband will also be tested in July, he has a daughter that's 8 so we know he can produce healthy baby's. please help. does anyone know about blood type's and how compatible they are??

Try the clomid now that you have had a d&c. That is the exact same thing that happened with me, almost to the T!! I was put on clomid in april of 06 and nothing. Then in December of 06 I had a d&c surgery because I was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia. My doctor had me wait till march to start up clomid because she wanted to see if my periods would be regular or whatnot. So I took my first round of Clomid after my surgery in March of 07... first round worked and I am pregnant!!! I really think that the surgery was the trick.... (that and prayer but that is a whole nother thing)... so I don't know, I would see about going on Clomid as soon as you can, I bet it will work! :)

Good Luck!

thanks, i'll go back in July and i will then start Clomid, and i do hope it works. Before when i tried Clomid i hated it, I had horrible hot flashes and when ever i saw a baby i cried, when britney spears got bregnat with 2nd boy i cried for 2 days i was so depressed, i laugh a little now, but it was terrible.

Have you heard of Femara? It works like Clomid but is suppose to not cause your endometrial linning to thin like Clomid does. I have tired Clomid for 6 months and it made my cycles longer, I seemed to ovulate later and later each month. I am getting ready to start Femara so I don't have much insight on that yet but it is just a thought.

Blood types don't really matter unless you are negative. Then they can give you a shot called Rhogam. I'm assuming that they had checked your horomone levels. Are you seeing a reproductive endocrinologist or going thru your OB? The RE might be more helpful. Most insurances will cover the RE if you have been trying for at least a year. No matter what the problem is, it is both of yours. Just because your husband had a baby previously doesn't mean there is not a problem now. Pls let me know if I can help more. Best of luck.

Have you talked to your dr about femura/letrozole. It like clomid but without so many side affects. It made me ovulate but I havent gotten pregnant either. My dr says that bc I might need to try to relax and then Ill get preg. Its not easy t relax.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
