Hey girls. So I would like your guys' opinion on something... I went to see our dr on Friday and we ended up talking about Derek because it is time to renew my Met. She kind of explained herself a little better. I guess she really believes that he might have a blockage because of his weight... That is why she was pushing the surgery so hard that day. Also, I told her our feelings about going to the specialist and that we want to know sooner rather than later if there are any viable sperm. And that if IVF is our only way that we would have to save for a few years... She suggested that we start talking about a sperm donor. That they do an IUI with doner sperm, you don't have to have IVF. So now I am wrestling with this idea of using a donor if it is not possible for us. Weirdly, Derek is far more ok with it than I am. I feel like I chose to spend that rest of my life with Derek and I want our relationship to be happy and equal. If I do something like this, will it be equal? Will Derek grow to feel resentful towards me because our baby is biologically linked to me and not him? Also, Derek is who I love. I want to have a baby with HIM, not anyone else. I want to see our traits mix, see his characteristic in our baby. I want to know if our baby would have red hair... If I used a donor, all of that would change... I would have a baby, but she will never have her dad's eyes or his freakishly strait hair. So, what I want to know is, are these feelings valid? If you were in this situation, what would you do? How would your dhs feel about it?

 

[BWilliams]

Wow juniper I would have to agree with you it would break my heart knowing that wasn't my husbands baby and that baby not getting his beautiful long eye lashes or his full lips or his smartness lol I'm sorry I hope everything works out and you make a decion that right for you and your husband. I praying for you girlie! "To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. Heb. 11:1"

 

[jrc10]

I think you're husband is amazing for being ok with that. I completely understand your feelings, and I think I would feel the same way. That is such a big decision. I know you'll make the right one.

My honest opinion is: Don't give up. I really think you two can do this. I don't think it'll be easy, but nothing great in life is. No matter what you do, it'll be the right thing. Keep us posted.

Hi Ladies. Im definately BFP. lol!

Im 26, we have been TTC for almost 2yrs (have Endo and anovulation) finially got BFP but then Had ectopic of 5th clomid cycle in Feb at 8wks.

Am on CD 3 started clomid again this month First time we started TTC since. Soooo hoping i wont have to wait too long. Clomid (100mg day 2-6) worked last time 1st cycle on 100mg.

Started thinking about alternative therapies.. couple ppl have recommended Acupuncture along side Clomid and swear by it.. Im really needle phobic but im desperate so ill try anything!
Anyways... im off to the Zita West Fertility Clinic next month... and im actually really excited, she is my friends mom so i kinda have a headsup, she is sooo lovely and has helped sooo many couples.

Has anyone tried alternative therapies?? How do you feel about them??

Buddies/advice greatly welcomed! i think im the only person i know that has EVERYTHING little hurdle turn into a 20ft fence!!!

[BWilliams]

Hey Maz I'm on clomid 100mg also but days 3-7...I have thought about acupuncture but have never done it. I also have Endo & Pcos so if you need a buddy im here!

 

[Kat_F]

Wow Juniper, lots of information for you and Derek to take on board... I am thinking don't loose hope yet, it must be hard for Derek but if he can try to loose a little bit of weight and then get some more tests done, that might be the way to go. If the results are good, try for him to take a little more weight off, and see again how that goes. It may take a while but hey so will saving for IVF if that is the way you have to go also.

When me and DH talked about it back in July last year, my DH would not consider donor sperm and neither would I. I know DH's count's changed each time he gave samples so don't let Derek think it is all over for him yet.. just a little hiccup in the road...

Hi Maz congrats on your speedy BFP after your loss... H&H 9 months.

 

[Juniper]

Thank you Kat. You are right... Waiting has never been my strong suit, so I am definitely going to struggle with it, but I really do think that the most important thing for now is to get both of us healthier. And, wow! Brides!! I am going to be a MOH in my cousins wedding in July and she is acting crazy as well. Just try to ignore her, she will realize that she was being a bitch sooner or later. I am sorry that people are being annoying. Just do what is best for you. Your little family is what is most important and everyone else will learn to live with it.

Welcome Maz

Thank you everyone. I know, it is a heavy subject... I appreciate your input.

 

[jrc10]

Kat - Sounds like jealousy to me. I'm so glad you're telling!!! Congratulations on that milestone.

Welcome Maz!

Juniper - I agree with Kat. Pretty much completely. lol. You can do it, Hun. Don't give up.

 

[BWilliams]

Ugh any advice on how to get out of a baby shower haha its this weekend and its my ex bestfriends and I really just don't wanna go.

 

[jrc10]

Maybe you don't feel well? Or you're getting the chance to spend quality time with your DH after a long week?

 

[BWilliams]

I gotta think of something lol!

 

[jrc10]

I just had my blood drawn a little bit ago, and it was the most painful thing ever. I have never been in this much pain afterwards! It feels like she stuck my bone or something. My entire arm aches.

On a brighter note, it won't be long until we have our answer.

 

[jrc10]

Ok, so they finished up pretty quickly today. I just got my results:

5,257!!!!!

I'm SO excited. I was praying for a 1200! I really hope they call to schedule my first appointment soon and don't want any more blood work. I'm thanking God today. It's a great day!

 

[Jolene]

Jrc, that's awesome news. Wow! Now you can relax a little hun

Kat, some people are just so self-involved. It's a good time to see who your real friends are.

Jenn, I'm sorry you're going through all this. It's so hard when these things take time and of course you want your baby yesterday. I know what you mean about wanting a bio baby with your DH but I'm sure your husband loves your adopted kids like his own and he will love that baby so much because he went through the journey with you. Remember that after the IUI and the BFP there will be scans, movement, a growing belly, birth and then all those firsts which will melt both your and his heart. It's good to know that option is there for the two of you but that is if it is in God's plan. Remember He is more powerful than any doctor.

So glad you're on clomid, Brooke. Just thought they'd have you on a higher dose??

Stace, how are you doing hun?

 

[Juniper]

Jolene - I need to remember not to check BnB while at school! You made me cry in my school library! Thank you for the beautiful words. I never thought about it, but you are right about us experiencing everything together. That is what Derek says. "It WILL be my baby." I think I am starting to feel more relaxed about this scenario. Now just for the waiting and the trust, neither of which I do well.

JRC - Amazing!!! Congrats! I am SO So SO happy for you.

Brooke - good luck this cycle.
