Feeling a bit down today, was just looking for someone to help raise my spirits.
I have a 2 year old daughter who I love more than anything in the world. My first pregnancy was pretty bad, ended up giving birth at 31w3d and she had IUGR so it was a very rough road but in the end gave us the perfect little girl. It took us 2 years to get pregnant the first time. We have been trying to have a second child now for about a year and a half to no avail. I'm on my 2nd round of Clomid and will be starting my third here I believe in the next week or so, as I believe that this cycle was a wash as well.
I've been taking Clomid on days 5-9, I ovulate perfectly fine with or without the Clomid, thats never been an issue. My husband has checked out fine as well. My doctor did tell me that during my C section that my uterus appeared to be the shape of a heart which could make it hard to conceive, which makes perfect sense considering. This past cycle we did everything right, but today at 13dp I got another BFN. I feel deflated.
We have an appointment with a fertility specialist in 2 weeks, I would like to go straight to IVF but my husband has concerns, he thinks we should do IUI first and then move on to IVF if needed. I am 36 years old btw, so the clock is ticking, I already told myself that if I dont get pregnant again by the end of the year that we are done. Its just getting too stressful and upsetting after each failed cycle.
I know that there are plenty of us out there who are going through our own struggles. I've told you my story (quick version), now tell me yours.
We can all use someone to vent with - hoping some of you are willing to be my buddy and we can help eachother through these struggles.
