I know it seems like it has been forever since we have talked. I'm soory that af came mine finally came it actually just finished a couple days ago. As you saw it was a weird one and not that predictable, which means it is gonna be hard to pin point my ovulation and my period i hate this!!!!!! I thought it was getting better and now it is going back to how it use to :'(
I am so glad that the forum is back up so we can chat again
So are you going to have to wait this month to start ovulex? I'm going to sit this month out too. Its the end of the school year and with tests and everything I hardly have any time for myself at all. Dh wants me to get clomid for next time and I don't know if it will work.
I think I will try it and if I don't like it then I'll stop. I use to work at an animal reproduction lab where they did exeriments for ivf and iui. I was in charge of superovulating cows and giving them shots. I always hated it because some of the cows you could tell were badly affected by it. They were moody and sweaty and hated being there. I just keep thinking of them when I have to do this.
Anyway I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and praying for the best.
I really don't think I want to do ovulex I wasn't 100% on it and i have found a Natrupathic (sp?) Dr and also she is a midwife, so we are going to try that. Steve got fired from the health club for really no good reason, so $$$ will be thight for a lil bit, but he now can focus on his company, which so far he is doing very well Everything is going to work out and God will take care of us.
Good luck on the clomid let me know how it goes for you. I didn't want to do clomid because of the possible side effects. I really hope this natural Dr will work, if those drugs don't work then I will probably try the clomid.
You are in my prayers also and I hope soon this journey of infertility will be over for us.
So sorry about Steve. I hate it when things like that happen. What is your Natureopath going to make you try first? I know its scary to take drugs. I like clomid because its been around for thirty years and there is a generic brand thats cheaper. I went to the doc and will try it in June. It seems so long but I really need to get everything else done first. Summer will be so much easier for me.
I went to visit my old roommates from college this last weekend. The one has a three week old and I just got so depressed. I really want a baby so bad that a lot of people don't understand. I always think that I would have a two year old and a newborn right now if everything worked out right. Thanks for your prayers and I know it will work out. You just have to put your trust in the Lord.
Sorry I haven't been on in awhile I've been on the go and just a lot going on.
It's ok about Steve's job God has a purpose and a plan for everything and I know He will take care and provide for us and all wil work out.
The Natruopathic Dr. I haven't seen yet, but will be going very soon She does all natural drugs and has a natural approch to trying to concieve which I am 100% w/ that!!!! This is her website so you can check it out and she what she is all about~DrThyr.com The reason I don't like Clomid is I read soooo much about the side effects like double+ vision, it dries up your cervical mucus and it's not a natural drug and I prefer not to put a man made drug in my body if I don't have to you know? I am all about that kind of stuff, like eating organic and trying not to use chemicals, it is so much better for you. I got that book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" it is such a good book and gives you alot of info about your body and how it works, I would go check out sometime you be amazed what it has to say and some of the stories in there from other women are real good and some kind of shocking what they have to say about their Dr's.
REAL GOOD BOOK I RECOMOMEND IT TO EVERYONE OUT THERE IT REALLY OPENS YOUR EYES TO HOW YOUR BODY WORKS AND HOW TO UNDERSTAND IT. IT MADE ME REALIZE ALOT ALREADY AND I AM ONLY IN CHAPTER 3 PLEASE LADIES GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!!
I know how you feel about wanting a child and hoping that you would have or soon have #2 by now. It is so hard, but we just have to trust God and know that He will take care of us. Keep your head up and I hope that all will work out and soon you will get that BFP God bless and know that you are in my prayers.
Sorry I haven't written in awile. I'm getting ready to go to CA for a week. We're leaving tomorrow and I probably wont check email until next wednesday.
Thats great that you're excited for your Dr. I hope everything works out and that you can get started soon. I have heard of that book but never bought it. I think I'll try to find it on amazon. Everyone says its great. Thanks for the advice and I know that you'll get your bfp.
my husband and I have been ttc for over three years with 5 miscarriages and so much heart ache. I get the same thing with my friends and distant family, they are always asking about our "timeframe" for a child. It really isn't anyone's business, if these people knew how much their words hurt us they wouldn't say them. No one can ever know what you are going through and really don't understand what thet are asking. I am always very vague with them and sometimes I am a little rude too. It's really quite a personal question, it always comes from the most fertile people too. They just don't get it. Try and be strong and pray everyday, God will hear you. I will pray for you even though I don't know you, this is hard enough please don't give anyone the power to stress you out. Stress is so bad for you. God Bless, Jennifer
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I was with family this weekend and just about lost it from all the comments. When the kids were going swimming my brother-in-law said, "you're lucky you don't have kids to watch." That made me so mad. It was mother's day which is usually the day I am not out or doing anything because I can't even stand the commercials, (thank goodness for dvr) but, I was stuck in CA with relatives who all have children and most are younger than me. So it was difficult to see them get flowers or homemade things from their kids. I had to leave a few times to cry in the bathroom. I have been rude before with comments and it has made me feel better. My best friend will come up with good comebacks when we're alone together and we say the meanest things about other people and it always makes me feel better.
I'm sorry for your miscarriages. I know that someday it will happen but its hard to wait. Fertile people never understand what it feels like to have them because they say it wasn't meant to be this time. But they haven't had to wait or have their dreams crushed by one doctor visit.
Thanks for listening and I will try not to stress. I pray for everyone that has to wait for a bfp. It will happen for us.
How was your trip to CA? I hope it was a good one!!
So how are you? I am doing pretty well, I haven't gone to the DR yet, but soon! I am going to try maybe 2 cycles w/ the book and see how that goes. I do need to go to the DR soon it's that time of year YIPEE!!! LOL but I wont go w/ natural drugs just yet like I said I want to try 2 cycles by doing the book. I really hope it will work, I know it would be cheaper and if it does work I wish I knew about that book a long time ago, all I can say it is all in God's hands
I'm so excited for you. I hope it will work. Wouldn't that be just like mother nature, all you needed was the book. Tell me how it goes or if it makes your cramps not so bad. I can't wait to know, I wish it wouldn't take two whole months.
My vacation was OK. Af showed up and it was mothers day weekend which I have always hated. It reminds me of what I want but don't have.
I'm buying that book off of amazon next paycheck. I'll be just as excited for it as I am for Harry Potter.
I'm sorry that I haven't been on in a lil bit things have been busy!
I am sorry that your vacation wasn't that great and that af showed up I know how you feel about Mothers Day I feel the same way I dread it every year!!!!
I am glad to hear that you are getting the book I really think you will like it, it gives you so much info and you find out so much how the body works. Let me know how you like it.
I haven't heard from you in awile and hope everything is going great. I finally got that book and I love it. I have been charting ever since I got it on charts that I have made. My book came with a cd rom on the program but I like hard copies better.
I probably won't be able to iui this month because I have been having some problems with bloodwork. I went in for a routine checkup on my thryoid and they found that I have high calcium in my blood. SO they think that I have hyperparathyroidism. I have to go in again and I'll be seeing an endrinologist. The good thing is I'm glad I'm not pregnant. I researched the disease and it has problems if you are pregnant on the baby.
I am looking forward to fixing the problem and keeping up charting. Hope you are fine and I miss talking to you. Don't worry I know how busy it can get.
I know, I know I have been very sad and haven't been on in awhile. You are right it has been busy and I have been non stop and things will be on fast fwd for a lil bit longer. My sister-in-law and my nieces we will be here in 2wks then the day after they leave we will be going to FL to move my Grandma's stuff up here, because she will be living up here permantly After being home from Fl for a wk will be leaving for MI for Steve's cousin's grad party, then it SHOULD be quiet until Sept. So between all this I am suppose to try to get pregnant, ya no stress, YA RIGHT!!!!
Thats awesome that you got the book and I am sooo happy that you like it!!!! I am almost finishhed, I am at the appendix part, then I will go back and read it again I booked marked some places that I want to go back to. It is such a good book and is helping me alot!!!!
I am sorry about not doing the IUI and the possible hyperparathyroidisim. You are right that it wouldn't be good if you were pregnant. I hope things will get better!!!! Keep your head up and trust that God has a plan for you!!!!!
I am so sorry that I haven't been on in awhile and I missed talking to you too, but you have been on my mind and in my prayers!!! I hope all is well and soon you will be able to achieve pregnancy.
Sorry that I haven't written. I'm also with relatives and trying to get my doc appointments. They said that I have high Calcium in my blood and then my parathyroid is low. I have no idea what they do to fix it. I am supposed to see the endocrinologist in a few days to see what options I have.
The book is great and I read it in about two days. Some of the things I already knew because I took my temp for two years. I was really interested in cervical mucus and keeping track of cervix position. Even though I'm still doing opks for my iui I hope I can pinpoint exactly when I'll ovulate. I alos liked the pictures to show exactly what they meant.
I hope your having a good time and that your not stressing out. I know that my relatives are very stressful sometimes. Are you going to track on Fertility Friend website? I heard that was a good site. I am going to try to keep it on paper for awile and then see about the site.
