Hi, Ruby. I refuse to admit that I may be infertile. I just have not gotten preggo yet. I am 37 and have been ttc for 3yrs. I believe that I WILL have the family I always dreamed of with my wonderful DH. You have to believe you will, also. I was watching Oprah today and she said "You do not become what you want. You become what you believe." So start believing, everyone!!!

hey, that's funny. i was watching oprah at the gym yesterday too, and it also struck a nerve when i heard her say that exact line. I BELIEVE I WILL GET PREGNANT SOON. : ) how are you doing merlee?

I totally understand!! I went to a gyno that said that to me too, so I found another one! My new gyno doc office is called "Gyn and Fertility". They are experts in the various levels of "fertility", not "infertility". I think your doc was incorrect to call the specialist an "infertility specialist". A true fertility specialist will know better!! Good luck to all of us this cycle!!! We will be mommies!!! -kelly

thanks kelly. actually, i'm not really sure what this new dr's actual title is, but just hearing the nurse utter the words "infertility" made me cringe. i do believe it is only a matter of time though. i'm looking at the bright side...the sooner we figure out why i haven't conceived yet, the sooner they can "fix" me and get me pregnant!! i can't wait. :) what is your situation, kelly?

Hi Ruby! I am 36 and ttc for the first time. We had been at it for a year with no luck, so that's when I found a good doc. He did an ultrasound and found out I have pcos. I had been doing a lot of research on the net, so I knew about pcos, but never dreamed I had it! So I was quite upset and in shoch the beginning of this cycle. I am taking avandia for the pcos, did clomid days 5-9, had an hcg shot to trigger ovulation (I had 7 follicles big enough to make eggs this month), and started taking projesterone last friday to build up the uterus for implantation. I also had an hsg to check out my tubes, which are open (thank goodness!). My doc is not wasting any time getting me right where I need to be to conceve. I'll know next week if it was a success! If it isn't they will do iui next month. Let us know how your doc visit goes. Hopefully, if there is a problem it can be diagnosed quickly and fixed. It was terrible finding out I had pcos, but also a relief for me know why we were not getting pg. - kelly

kelly--it sure does look like you and your dr are on the right track. that's great that he's not wasting time. the sooner the better, right?! it just amazes me when i think of all the poking & probing we have to go through while some women out there get pregnant by their husband just glancing their way : ) loads of baby dust to all of us *~*~*~*~*~*~

Hey, Ruby. I seem to be a little moody today. Just not real chipper. I am 4dpo, waiting for Aug 14. Feeling really fat!

hey merlee. you know, when i was pg last november, one of the very first signs i had was my incredible moodiness. i would yell and cry at the drop of a hat...and i remember that i felt like that very soon after i believe i conceived. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

Ruby, thanks for the encouraging words. In 34 months of ttc, I have never even had the opportunity to test. So I read about everyone's symptoms of preg. and hope, yet everyone is different. No way of knowing except just wait. So I wait, again. I did think that 4 dpo was kinda early for me to get moody. And my BBs are killing me, since 2dpo. We'll see.

Hi girls, Just thought I'd join in. My hubby and I have been ttc for 13 months, no luck. I have had blood test to check harmones ( perfect they say) And I had an Hsg on 8/8/05 ( not good news) both of my tubes are completely blocked and i have a bicornuate uterus. I see fertility specialist on the 29th. My gyn says it will happen but will take a little more effort. Best wishes to all of you i'll keep everyone posted.
