I am having trouble keeping up with who all is here with me right now. I am not even pregnant and I have pregnant brain! Just wanted to make sure I have you all in my head right!
33 years old, DH 34, married 9 years, one DD-5 years old concieved naturally after 2 years TTC, TTC for 2 years for #2, Clomid for 5 months, IUI 4 times with Gonal-F (2 canceled, 2 failed), 1st IVF in August, BFP 9/5/05, Due Date May 17, 2006, DS born May 8, 2006
Justme, I am in 2ww as well, but I won't find out until the forth. I don't have much hope either because we were supposed to be IVF this month and it got cancelled due to lack of stimulation. (I only had one mature egg) The IUI was just a formality. I would be shocked if I got a positive given both of our issues!
38 yrs. DH is 31 yrs. Married November 2002. No children. TTC since the honeymoon. Infertility treatments 2 yrs. 7 failed IUIs. 3 cancelled IVFs due to poor response to meds. Poor ovarian reserve. DH has male factors. Chicago, IL Presently looking into adoption!
Diane, why no positive vibes? Let us know your news, good or bad. We are here for you and want to help you celebrate or......we won't go there!!!! Only positivesthis morning!
WantsBaby2, That has to be frusterating!! Maybe a miracle will happen!!!
I am so glad not to be alone here. I must admit I have not found the 2WW as hard as I thought it would be. To me it just feels like another month on Clomid, or just trying for that matter, and we are waiting for results. We have been trying for baby #2 for 2 years now.

I am I am...in the 2WW (it took me a min to get the abbreviations - sorry i'm blonde). Almost one week down and one to go. I am very regular so I should start next Fri/Sat but I have a preg test scheduled on Monday. I don't feel pregnant and I actually feel less anxious than i did before the proceduer (my first IUI). I am hopeful but don't want to count on it...you know.
Hang in there Diane - sending good wishes for you - let us know!!!
just me and wantsbaby2 ...sending positive thoughts for you guys too - nice to have others to wait with.
I am 32 yrs old, DH is 40, married almost two years, DH had a vasectomy reversal (has 2 kids ages 10 & 17 from previous marriage, not living with us). TTC 1 year. 2 failed IUI's, DH sperm issues....IVF w/ICSI -May in Seattle (not avail in my state - Alaska) - BFP due 2/16/06!!!
Wow...what a group - I'm thrilled to be a part of it!!
I'm in the big 2ww...mmm, what fun. I test on 3/9. I am trying SO hard to not freak out about it, but you all know how hard that is to do.
Last week in church, my pastor spoke about giving our wish to God rathern than focus on what we want of God...not to worship the blessing more than the blessor. If that makes sense. So, whenever I get the total goo about wanting to be pregnant so badly it hurts, I just ask God to take my desire from me, and to help me to be okay with whatever happens on the 9th.
The 2ww is still creeping by, though. I'm glad to have friends to share it with!! And Justme - I'm foggy, too!! I'm blaming the procedure that has put me in the 2ww for making me slightly stoopid. From what I understand, pregnancy makes you really foggy, so here's to all of us getting forgetful and foggy!!
The test was negative....bummer. Back to the drawing board. I'm not sure what I'm going to do from here. I think I have cysts again. Anyone have any idea why that would keep on happening?
I'm not sure this is all worth it. I might be giving this up and just go back to trying naturally. I'm not half as strong as all you ladies!
I am sorry that your test came back negative. It is always so disappointing. Please don't think that you are not strong - You are strong Sometimes we all have weak moments where we think we will never make it through this trying journey, but somehow you always find the courage to keep on going. Whatever you decide I am sure will be the right decision. Take Care and know that you are in my thoughts.
DH and I are 36. Married 10 yrs. p/g 4/01 m/c @ 9 wks. DH dx w/ severe mf - told best chance of conception was IVF. 1st IVF 5/02, m/c @ 7 wks. FET 5/03 conceived triplets and lost triplet at 11 wks. gestation. Had B/G twins @ 32wks. ++ p/g 5/5/05 conceived nat. much to our surprise
Meg speaks the truth. You ARE strong. Just think of all you've done to this point - you've been extremely courageous. Listen to Meg!!!
And right now, you're heartbroken and feel defeated...which is more than understandable. We've all been there.
Just don't beat yourself up too badly. You ARE strong, you are courageous and you are a wonderful woman. Just take a few days off to be sad about the test and work through those emotions, then evaluate what you want to do next.
Diane, I am sorry to hear your news. You are just as strong as any one else here. The defeats are very hard to take! This was my first IUI so I wonder how I will take the bad news if it happens to me. Time will tell. We are all here for you, so vent away and cry it all out. I will pray for you as you are making a decision about where to go next.
I did have cysts after my first cycle with injections was canceled. I also had a cyst after taking a month off. From what I understand, we just get them from time to time, and more often when we are stimulating our ovaries this way.

Diane, I am so sorry about your neg result. Don't let it get you too down. I too have many moments when I feel like giving up........and then when I least expect it, I get the strength to move forward again. So take some time for yourself and see how you feel in a few days. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon.

Diane - Sorry about the negative test. It is only normal to want to give up: to not feel the hurt of infertility again. Take time and see how you feel in a few weeks. We are all strong at times and weak at times. Everyone of us. My thoughts are with you.
Ok, 5 more days until I can find something out. I felt a little cramp this morning and was worried that it was my period, but no AF yet!! Now this 2WW is starting to get to me. Before i had said it didn't feel any different that waiting any other month with out IUI to kigure something out, but now I am getting anxious. I think I am just getting excited that I have had my AF yet. Like all of you, I want so badly to be pregnant. My little girl keeps telling me she wants a sister, now that tugs at my heart. I want to give that to her and to me! I also look forward to buying maternity clothes, they really have some cute stuff these days!
If I am not prego this month, we will have to take a month off in March since we have business trip for my husband to Orlando. We are going to go to Disney while we are there. My daughter is soooo excited. The bummer is that another month off just pushes all this back and burns more time.
But....... I am going to think positive!! I am pregnant, I am pregnant, I am pregnant! Keep thinking of me and praying for me. I am doing it for all of you too!
Thanks for letting me get this all out!!! I feel better now! Justme
