Well ladies - I am out this month.... got AF 2 days ago...
Took it a little harder this month as I really thought it might be the one.... oh well...
Seems I have missed so much in these last few days!
Since we are all sharing - My name is Maria and I live in Toronto, Ontario... We have been trying for almost 10 years for a biological child... In 2007 we decided that we couldn't wait anymore and went through the international adoption process - and 2.5 yrs later we adopted our daughter in Jan.2010. She is almost 3 now and although I love her more than anything, I am still longing to have a biological child and of course give her a sibling.
Recently I found out that my sister (who has also had many problems conceiving, had something where her body's immune system was rejecting the embryo (killer T cells or something) and she also has the clotting factor problem (where implantation doesn't happen because of a clotting factor in your blood)- you know the reason some people take baby aspirin ....
So you can get pregnant but your body can reject before you even now you are pregnant. Well - although it hasn't been confirmed for me - I am starting to think these may be my issues too (can be genetic)... I have gone through so much in the last 10 years and they haven't been able to tell me why I can't get pregnant... so if I really want to find out I will have to pay $3000 to get special tests done at the Dr.Beer's centre in the US.... (can do via courier and with the help of a fertility specialist here).
I don't know if I want to go ahead with this - since it's not really worth doing if you aren't willing to go ahead with IVF and take tons and tons of meds... I am very into holistic medicine so that's the reason. My sister has two children now from IVM (a form of IVF - but she had to try many many many times and take tons of meds)
So that's my story!
Good luck ladies to you this month - Keri and Wendy!
