Hello, all!

I live in Washington, DC, and I love nature, hiking, and reading.

I'm almost 40 and my wife and I have been trying to conceive for 3 years with IUI.

Looking forward to posting more!

 

[mrsWBailey]

Hi Charlene. I can relate to your story with all the losses. I had three early losses as about 8 Weeks. It was diagnosed as a uterine septum. Years later I spontaneously conceived my son naturally and delivered him at 37 weeks. I've had 2 very early losses in the 4 years since. And with my current husband no conceptions at all in 18 months of trying. Used an RE. Had surgery to remove septum. It still shows up on an MRI. Tried iui couldn't afford IVF. Gained 30 lbs from the medicines. Still trying to take it off and conceive naturally.I use herbs and supplements to keep me regular and try to help the process. Started circle and bloom meditation series to help me relax and help my mind assist me toward conception this cycle. It just seems to take so long...many years earlier in life trying and since my miracle son's birth.

[Vejables1985]

Hello ladies,

My name is Cindy and I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my second. My daughter Sage is six years old and I'm currently cooking up a boy. I have recently been taken out of work due to some extreme sciatica that causes my left leg to give out when standing too long and am bored as heck. I have looked up many things on this forum previously and it has helped to ease my mind and answer my questions, so I figured what the heck might as well join now while I have all this free time. Great to meet you guys!
