I'm a newbie to the board - Infertility Message Board

Hi there! I'm a chick, turning 32 tomorrow (sigh) and me and my DH have been TTC actively for about 5 years now...we've been together for nearly 10, married for 5. I knew from the beginning we'd have issues getting pregnant, and we've never used any type of protection, EVAH! Anyways, been through the HSG, the chlomid, the injectables with monitored ultrasounds. I have PCOS and from the lap I had done in August of 2001, was told I have endo. Lovely. Anyways, we've been out of the trying mode with medical intervention primarily for finance reasons, definatley for emotional too. A close friend I know just found out she was pregnant, and I lost it. I'm SOOOOO happy for her, but of course I get upset. Everyone around me is getting pregnant!! So we're going to try again with medical help. Have an apt w/a brand new specialist on Wednesday. Just wondering since I've been outta the world of medically TTC if there was anything special you guys could prepare me for for my apt on Wednesday?? I appreciate your time and your thoughts and pray for all of you to blessed. This experience is the worst in the world and it hurts to know there are so many women who endure this.

I don't have any advice to you, I just wanted to say welcome to the board, and welcome back to the wonderful world of medical infertility treatments. I also have PCOS, ttc for 18 months, second cycle of clomid with injection for "o". Good luck at your appointment.

I totally understand what you are going through. My best friend is prego (unplanned), my sister law, my neice (born 1/9), my friends baby (born 12/28) and the list keeps going on and on.......
We have been TTC#2 for 6 months on chlomid.
We concieved our dear son in 1999 with an IUI after trying for over 5 years!
He is a true miracle and I thank the good lord above for this blessing!
I hope your dreams comes true.

Hi

I know how you feel. My best friend was ttc no. 2 at the same time we started trying- we always imagined we'd get pg around the same time and talked about it a lot! Just before Christmas 01 she found out she had succeeded for the 2nd time. I was over the moon for her - but I have to admit a little part of me was wondering 'why not me this time?' Her beautiful daughter was born in July last year. I spend a lot of time with both her kids and I love them to pieces but sometimes it's hard. She knows I'd love to fall pg but has no idea how long we've actually been trying or about the fact that I'm now attending a specialist about this so sometimes she upsets me without realising. I try to consider myself in training for when we have our own children, God willing!

Hi Ladies! I just want to thank you all for responding to my message! I haven't read this board for fear of becoming too obsessive like I was last time.

Like that is not going to happen, right?! LOL Anyhoo, I've been on the pill to rest my ovaries for these past two months, will be starting with a mini-stim of chlomid/injectables and 2 IUI's. I hope and pray that it happens! But I am just going to try to relax and see what I'm blessed with.
