Hey Ladies, it has been a while!!!!!
Hello to all the new ladies. The ladies on this thread are WONDERFUL and have helped me through the hardest times.
Mowat- so exciting to hear that IVF is starting and in just a few weeks you will be in the TWW! I'm so happy for you!
Bama- I'm so sorry to hear abt your loss. I hope you catch that egg this cycle
Ttcbabyisom & Mrs W- How are you ladies? Long time no hair. I think abt how you girls are from time to time. I'm silently rooting for yaw.
Mama- I'm sorry you're still in limbo. Not a great place to be at all. Hopefully you'll get some answer soon so you'll know where you stand.
Hi Mariahs Mom! Thanks for checking in on us sweetie!
I've realized I'm not dealing as well with all of this like I thought I was. I can run and exercise until the cows come home but the sadness never goes away. I have come to the conclusion I'm pretty depressed. I still function just fine and will continue to do so but am having way too many breakdowns over things lately (new pregnancies in very close core group) and just an overall truly sad feeling that I decided to get some help. I called my doc today to get info on "infertility counseling" where it ONLY focuses on that and I called and made my first appointment. It is July 28 after work so hopefully it helps! They are also going to call in a script for me I think to help get me "balanced" before September rolls around and we are back on medicated cycles, etc. So...that's the scoop on me. I'm still happy Danielle...with a side of infertility depression. :-/ My docs office was so nice and sweet. She told me this was very normal especially after 3 years of dealing with this and 3 losses under our belts and NOTHING to show for it. So at least that made me feel better. So I'm doing something about it and I hope it works. I'm tired of feeling this way every time I see a baby belly or hear a baby story or see a baby post. It sucks. I don't want to feel jealous anymore. I do, however, don't think that will go away until I'm posting about my own miracle.
I have a mixed bag of news. I have been waiting to bleed and cramp, but that has not happened. I got my HCG back from my appointment Tuesday of this week and it increased to around 58,000 from around 26,000 the previous Thursday. The OB I saw is trying to authorize an ultrasound for me, although she is adamant I am still having a miscarriage. I had started to think about all the different wines I could start trying out once I went through the process, but that is on hold. So ya, I am just as confused as I was before. If I do have to end up going back to TTC'ing, I think I will be looking into some herbal remedies for overall health. Not sure who to turn to for advice on this as I don't usually run into practitioners who advise this route, but I want to take things that will improve my overall health.
I did some walking and running the other day and that helped me feel a little better, until I got home. The sun is finally out and it isn't muggy (it's been raining for about a week straight here), so I might go outside to get some sunshine therapy![]()

Danielle I'm so sorry to read your feeling so low , its so understandable and I think you are an amazingly brave compassionate women . I watched my sister struggle with 14 years of unexplained infertility it was heartbreaking . Her story eventually had a happy ending , she has now ended up with 7 children ! ( that's a long story ill tell you if ya like ) she went for therapy and found it very good. As hard as it is sometimes its really good and healthy to turn and face our feelings cause no matter how hard we try to ignore them or run from them they always always show up at some point !!! I hope talking through how you are feeling brings you some comfort .![]()
WONDERFUL news MamaTex!!!!!
Hey all!! Just wanted to update!! I went into my appointment and there was a baby with a beating heart. This doctor I have made me think I was having a miscarriage and put me through hell for almost two weeks! I am sorry if this update is insensitive as I know so many of you have been trying for so long, but I still wish for everyone to experience the happiness they deserve. It's bittersweet to get the news I got today because I know how it can go.
Had my transfer this morning. Let the waiting begin!

hey ladies may i join you? cd 10 here, and due to O anywhere from cd 15-21. Will be doing opks soon. Would love to have some buddies with me![]()
Hi ladies new poster here. Been reading for awhile finally decided to join in and share my journey to motherhood! Im 26 in a few weeks been ttc for approx 10 months now with no luck as yet. Both me and bf have begun fertility testing as we told them weve been trying longer. . Ive always had a strange fear that I won't be able to be a mother perhaps as its something I want so badly.. anyway his semen analysis came back low morphology first time second was better in normal rnages and ive had 21 day tests came back normal ultrasound normal hsg normal and day 3 fsh test normal. My cycle is regular 29- 31 days occasionally a day or 2 more or less. Getting more and more uoset and frustrated as the months go on. Why isnt it happening when were both supposedly fine healthy and fertile?!?! Would love some support from those in the same boat. Currently on cd 24 approx 7 or 8 dpo and impatiently waiting for af to be due.
