Hello,
I am 33 and trying to get pregnant for the first/second time. I was on BC for 12 yrs and after about 9 months, I was pregnant (ELATED). Ten days later, I was having laporascopic surgery to remove my ectopic pregnancy....I was devastated. It depressed me so that I was consumed by it for months (which is not like me at all). So now, come July we will have been trying to get pregnant again for two long years. My husband thinks that nothing is wrong, we got pregnant before with no problem (just in the wrong place). But it has been so long....am I too old to be trying to get pregnant, is that the problem? Everyone around me is pregnant- EVERYONE- I have tried drinking the water, no luck.... I have had all the labwork, several ultrasounds (many invasive-Yuck), three months of clomid (which made my cycle disappear for two months), Provera (which didn't work at all), a month of Femara(had the best lab results I have ever gotten), and now the doc is going to send me to a Repro Doc..... I am just sick about it and have no idea what to do. Now to top everything, my cycles have gone crazy. This month it came one week early and equalled to 1-2 days of spotting, 1 very light day, 1 mild day, and 1/2 light day....I don't even know what to count as day 1 ! Any suggestions before I commence to have the breakdown I so richly deserve....I would have never believed the word infertility would cross my lips....I come from two of the most fertile families in the world... and here I am. Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I think it just helps to be able to put this out there in case someone else is having the same problem- you are not alone....
Thanks,
whilowisp
Hi~
Your not alone. First off, I am sorry for your loss- I can empathisize. Me and DH have been ttc now for almost 6 yrs. We finally got pregnant(first pregancy ever) on Feb. 26th, from IVF/ICSI. We have been with a fertility clinic for almost 3 yrs- this had been our 3rd cycle of IVF, we had done 4 iui procedures before that with no success. Anyway, we finally achieved our goal. I had a m/c- and at my first OB apt. at 12 weeks, their was no h/b- needless to say we were heartbroken. I had a D & C on April 23rd. I can't beleive it was almost a month ago. It has been very hard, but I am lucky to have such supportive family and friends who have reached out, as well as some support from another forum I am involved in, with women who have had been donw the same road. It is so hard, and I am taking a 3 month break right now from cycling, and living from an IVF calender, it is emotioanlly and physically draining. I also feel like my body is out of whack, and my OB said to wait our a few months, (cyles) to get it back to normal. I am meeting again with my RE (reproductive endocrinologist) in jUne, for a consult. I just got the test results back from the tissue, from the D & C and found out it was chromosone 21- for downs, so that was also hard to hear. I was so sadened by that. Now I am a little nervous, wondering if this will happen again, with our next pregancy. I have a lot of questions for my RE.
I understand your frustrations, I really do. I am older too (41) DH, is 43 even though we look 10 yrs. younger, and thank God feel 10 yrs. younger, it still doesn't change the fact that my eggs are aged. DH has male factor, and I have a history of endometresosis, and cysts. II am waiting for my AF to arrive, and am wondering if it wil be late due to my D & C. For now I have a lot of cramping, and bloatedness...and have a feeling I am in for a bad period this month.
All the best to you, and with meeting your RE at your fertility clinic. I was nervous in the begining too, but you will be okay, try and think of it as one step closer in your journey to having you baby!
All the best to you!! Hang in there, don't stop beleiving!
Hugs to you-
Kim
