March Madness for Making Babies

 

[tryforbaby2]

I have thought of a name.....March Mommies To Be.....But I do like both!

Does anyone else want yto run the thread or shall I stay put?.....I am willing to share!

 

[tryforbaby2]

I am getting my progesterone levels drawn (I am 9dpo but 8dpiui) and a manual ovary check to make sure I didnt grow any cysts.

Will update you all later.

P.S., I know I am not pregnant this cycle do to falling temps and bfp's.....so it sucks I know I am already out for march.

 

[shelleney]

Hey Try.
I also had the idea of March Mommies to be. Great minds think alike
Hope you will all get your BFPs in March. I will be dropping into to the March thread every now and then to keep an eye on you all
Much love xx

 

[Tigerlilies]

Are you sure you're out Try? Your temp is still up there.

Hey girls. I was thinking maybe someone else should run the new thread. Not so good news today at fertility doctors today. :'(
They are pretty poaite after further review of dh's sperm, that it ia near unlikely for us to get pregnant with IUI. They want us to consider starting IVF once af comes. Its very very expensive @ $12,000-$14,000 per cycle or $22,000-$24,000 for 6 shared risk cycles. I think quitting bnb and just stopping treatment altogether is key for us. Nearly 2 years ttc <1% morphology.....or use donor sperm? DH probably won't go for that.
I'm sad and frustrated.

 

[grandbleu]

So sorry Try - I'm sure you've probably already asked this to your specialists but is there anyway to get the motility better...changing habits, taking vitamins??? Does insurance cover IVF at all - at least some part of it? I know some other ladies have insurance cover more than 90% of it which is obviously a humongous help and makes it possible. I'm just so gutted for you and your OH - I want you to be able to have a child together.

 

[cla]

Try Iam so so sorry Hun xxxxxx

 

[tryforbaby2]

DH and I DO have a 6 year old child together BEFORE his accident and other issues to follow that permanently damaged his sperm. Motility and Count issues can be helped through vitamins, but morphology cannot be altered or fixed. There is no cure for it. I know you guys are probably thinking I should just be happy I have a child, and while this is very true, I still can't help to be devastated.
Thanks for your kind words ladies!

 

[grandbleu]

Honey - I don't think just because you have one child that this is any less painful. Of course it is...I want more than one as well to create a family. Obviously I will be so happy with one but I ideally want more so I completely understand where you are coming from even if I'm only on number 1 for the moment. We all want to create families here...the number may be small or large but we are on here because we want a baby and I really do wish you another one for you and your OH to complete yours.

Sorry I didn't know there was an accident involved and morphology is one of the hard ones to fix. Completely frustrating. I can understand your OH not going for the whole sperm donor (I would feel like that on the opposite side if we had to use an egg donor).

I don't know what to say exactly except you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that IVF will become an option for you when insurance or savings can afford it.

 

[mpepe32]

Oh try, I'm sorry You have to do what is best for you. Like other's have asked, does dh's insurance cover IVF? I think my dh's does cover fertility treatments but not sure about IVF. I don't understand why they would even do IUI on you this month if this was their opinion.

 

[Tigerlilies]

Julie, I'm so sorry honey, that is really heart breaking. I completely agree with Grand, just b.c you have a child already doesn't take away the hurt from being told how difficult it will be to have a second. I really want two children as well. I really hope this isn't it for you.

 

[bluesky]

Try I dont know what to say, I really would hate to see you leave us. Just because you have DD does'nt mean u shoul'nt have another baby.

I hope you and DH can get enough money to help with the IVF.

Thinking of you xxxx

 

[Amberyll23]

Try--I am so sorry for what you and your DH are going through. And the other ladies are right, whether you have 1 or 10 children already doesn't make your desire to have another little one in your lives any less important than someone trying for their first child.

I know IVF is expensive, my best friends went through it twice trying to have their baby, and she managed to get pregnant naturally after they had given up on TTC and were considering adoption, so anything is possible! She is my inspiration!

I really hope that you are able to get your forever baby with your DH whatever route you choose to take together.

 

[shelleney]

Oh Try
I am so sorry Hun.
You deserve to have the baby you long for, no matter how many children you had before.
I trully hope that you can get pregnant naturally or with IUI, and if not, that you can afford to go down the IVF route.
I hope that you do not have to leave us, as we love having you on here, but we will support any decision you make.
Thinking of you Hun
xx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Thank You Ladies for all your support. It means alot in a world where things arent always perfect. Thank You all again. I am going to break the news to my husband tonight, so I will try to get back on to respond tonight or tomorrow.

Thnaks Again!





P.S. Shelleney, your friend sounds like my new inspiration.

Hi girls - been quietly stalking you all.

Try - it's so hard I know - I desperately want another child too but we've made the decision that if this one fails we're giving up. It was exactly 2 years ago yesterday that we lost our first baby and since then it has permiated every area of our lives and has meant my little girl has seen me in some terrible state and not had the happy loving Mummy she so deserves. Enough is enough for us and I can settle for the one I've got even though it will break my heart! SO I know how you feel and the frustation and pain that cones with it. Having said that a great friend of mine came to visit yesterday with a lovely story of another friend who had been told her Dhs sperm meant she would never be able to have his baby so they gave up trying. She is now 12 weeks pg with twins! No intervention at all!!! Perhaps we'll give up and God/mother nature will surprise us when we least expect it! WHo knows?

AFM - well I'm just paying the waiting game - should be 8 weeks this weekend but after last weeks drama I'm not holding out too much hope. I've had a bit of brown spotting this week and have no symptoms at all anymore - all of my losses have been between 7 - 9 weeks so these are critical weeks for me. I have another scan on thursday and am preparing myself for the worst. I just can't cope with the disaapointment so find it easier to be pessimistic.

Anyhow - can I still stalk you all in March?

REally big hugs to those still TTC (specially you Kels)
and lots of good vibes to those who made it to PAL this month
