So just to get to know others in the group, would you mind sharing your stories? How long have you been trying? Is this your first, second, third+ child you're TTC?
I conceived in February 2012 after 3 years of trying which included a resection of a septum in my uterus, flushed my tubes, DH had low count, motility, and morphology. It took 3 IUIs before it finally worked. I delivered my darling daughter Nov. 2012.
Because it took so long the first time my husband and I decided to not use condoms for prevention within about 9 months after birth. We have not been successful, so I went for my annual with a different OB than delivered my baby ( I had a horrible experience with that Dr... Won't return) and she offered to prescribe clomid. I accepted and this was my first cycle with it. When doing iUi I took 50mg and each time had 3 mature follies, so I figured this would at least provide more targets for my husband's few and lazy sperm. Alas, as of today 13DPO AF is rearing her ugly head.
It's sooo hard not to analyze and feel every symptom and believe it can be and the. Talk yourself out and just get let down by that damned BFN!!
I know I'm not alone and was just looking for some people in the same boat that I can rant and cry with and won't get mad because I already have a baby... I want to complete my family and make it 4.
Thanks ladies!

I have PCOS and my husband is fine. It sucks knowing that it is my body doesn't work the way it is supposed to. MY DH is very supportive and makes me feel as though I am even more of a woman than women who can get pregnant by looking at a guy... lol!
This is cycle number 2 for us. We are really wanting to be done with pregnancy after this child. I developed severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome with my first pregnancy and did not walk away with happy fuzzy feeling about pregnancy. In fact I think pregnancy sucks, but it is mandatory to get the little baby that we know is missing from our lives.
I knew that I was not pregnant even before AF showed up. I was having a hard time. I even broke down at church in a restroom stall. I spent half the sermon in there bawling my eyes out collapsed on the floor. I couldn't keep the tears under wraps, and ended up freaking out my pastor a little after the service.
I have felt so much better since that outburst. It was cathartic for me and I completely understand how you feel. I feel selfish sometimes because some of the women on here don't have a baby yet, and here I am complaining about trying for number 2. But we can all learn from each other. There are things this time around that I will face, and some of them have already and will be able to help me out. And I will be here with baby dust for all!!!
I know what you mean about breaking down like that.. I find myself bawling my eyes out in the shower... then no one else knows...
Hugs and Baby Dust for this cycle!!!
