I had this board bookmarked on my laptop but because I was not using it, I so much needed to read you ladies and have some good hope this morning. I tried to type in the address but noticed I do not have the board URL, I remembered Mapia's name and ******d it no show, I went back and ******d Mapia on health boards and here am I reading and smiling on all the good wishes. BTW Mapia the result that brought me here was your birthday, though I don't know the date and am probably extra late but all the same Happy Birthday and many more happy/healthy years ahead, it is better wished late than never.
How are you all feeling this morning.

Lovely

Hi Lovely that is so sweet of u.My bday was not that long ago it was on March 19th.I feel so special.I am feeling just fine today all though I am up earlier then I like but thats ok I have u all to keep me company.So where are u in ur cycle?Also can I ask where to u go is there a Johns Hopkins fertility clinic somewhere or just an RE?I am going to Shady Grove they have many offices but I go to the one in Columbia.When I do my IUI's I go to their Rockville office.Now I wrote all this in another thread but I dont think u saw it.Please feel free to ask us any questions we are here for eachother and we feel eachothers pain.These women are great on these boards.

Mapia thanks for the details, there is a Johns hopkins IVF and fertility center at greenspring and thats where I go, I also had my IUI there, its such a big hospital with lots of units. I believe they also have their IVF clinic there though am yet to graduate from IUI LOL.
Sorry, I have a quick question though its of topic, How do I change the baltimore on my profile to maryland? I tried that but it says no administrators right. Does it mean we cannot edit our profile? Also I need all the catching up to do, I have tried reading the threads but there are too many of them, so how do I read you girls stories? I need to know each of you so I can flow. Thanks for helping.

Hi Lovely I dont know how u can change ur location.Now as far as reading up on everyones story that will be hard.The threads have pages u can go back on the pages or look up peoples names and see only their posts.I think if u click on the person u want to know about u will find the option that way.I dont remember if I told u a little about myself.My DH is sterile so we are using donor sperm and doing IUI.It has been a bumpy road no doubt but I have faith it will happen hopefully soon.Also hope we all get pregnant soon.So that is my story pretty much.Well I just had my 7th IUI on Sunday so I am in the 2ww.I had a chemical pregnancy on IUI #5.If I can help u with anything else please let me know.

Mapia,

Im pretty new to all of this and was reading your recap on whats hapening with you. I just wanted to say that you must be a really strong person to
go through this 7times or maybe you really want to with all your heart or both, i find it amazing that you have come back and told everyone whats been hapening and still find it in yourself to encourage others.You trully deserve for this to be your time for a bfp and hope with all my heart you get it.

take care x

Thank u so much Jam but all u women here are great support they have helped me through some very rough times.You are right I truely want a child and so does DH.He deserves to be a father even though he can not father his own.He will be the best father.Thats why I cant wait to give him a child.I have no issues as far as IF so I should be able to have a baby its just a matter of time.My RE also told me that since I had the chemical now we are 100% sure u can get pregnant.So I hope and pray it will happen soon.I dont know how much more I can take every person has a breaking point.

Thank you again for the kind wishes and I pray u will get ur BFP soon as well.

Hi Mapia am so sorry you and we are going through all this but hang there this is your time. My RE said that after 4 failed IUI's, no need to continue but do IVF, so if I may ask, why continuing? Is it the insurance problem with IVF? The more drugs on IUI the more trouble. Have you asked your RE about it? Anyway, no need to ask again your BFP is just next week. We are with you. My 2nd IUI is sunday, pray for me.

Hey Lovely well we are continuing because my RE doesnt want to make me go through all the drugs with IVF also he said its so expensive and he feels I will get pregnant with IUI.Also cause IUI with frozen sperm decreases ur chances of pregnancy he feels that a few more IUIs are needed when using frozen donor sperm.Since I had the chemical pregnancy he said that proves to us that I can get pregnant.We tried 4 natural cycles so the last 3 have been with drugs.

Its ok, take it easy, you are already there. Have faith and it will happen. For the chemical pregnancy, I hope they give you progesterone after the IUI? This helps a lot in implantation.

Yes of course they gave me progesterone.But chemical pregnancy has nothing to do with that something happens as it is dividing the cells dont fit it exactly or something like that and u m/c.My lining is good the RE says but since I am on clomid they give me the progesterone.Also RE said since DH is sterile its not like u have been ttc.When a women is healthy and a man is healthy we give them a year of ttc and then we say they have IF issues.With me I have actually been ttc for 7 months with the IUI's.Anyway I have faith in my RE the clinic I go to is also a well known clinic.I have to trust him I can not do anything else.
