Hi Ladies, I've been stuck at work lately but I've been reading to see how everyone is doing. Hang in there everyone and good things will come. I hope everyone is doing well. BabyDust to all.

Hi everyone. I hope you don't mind my joining the thread? I've been reading your posts for the last month and at last I can also join. I've started with the Clomid today (cd4) and I'm going for my first follie check on 23 April. Let me tell you a little about me and dh's ttc journey so far: We've been ttc for about 4 years now. Two years ago we found out that dh has only 1% good motility sperm and we'll probably not be able to concieve naturally. Since then, we've had 3 iui's, 2 ivf's and 1 FET - all of which failed. So now, we're back to square one, and trying IUI until we've saved up enough to try ivf again. I have total faith in IUI, because I've heard so many positive stories.

Chas - April 16

Thank you all so much for your kind wishes. Unfortunately the hcg has dropped to 18, so i will miscarry soon. I have been crying all afternoon, this is just unbelievable. Why is this so hard? I am really stressed and depressed about the whole thing. I just got finished talking to my mom, she made me feel a little better. I just want this to be over so we can try again. My life has turned into one big waiting game and it sucks!! I don't know why this is happening to me. We finally get pregnant and then it just doesn't stick. It's not fair.

 

mama keya - April 17

Chas you are in my prayers, and I wish nothing but happiness for you and your family. Love Keya

Hi Everyone,
You haven't heard much from me lately. Not much to report. We are going to start IVF in June so it's just a waiting game now. Chas, I am really sorry for what is happening to you. I just can't imagine the high you were on and then only to be let down. It is so cruel. I really can't understand all this. Why is it so easy for some people. I have been torturing myself lately and I can't make sense of it. My heart goes out to you and DH. Take Care.

 

Sonyamac - April 17

hi ladies, Chas, I was waiting to hear what was happening...I am so sorry...hugs to you, I know it's heart breaking..but stay strong, it will happen...maybe the RE needs to be giving you something else as well?? will they look into that after? thinking of you and dh..and sending prayers & luv...........
i go in tomorrow am for u/s & b/w...i have stimmed for 4 days, there maybe one more, but the trigger shot will most likely be tuesday or wednesday night...I just hope those follies are there...........
any news from those on the 2ww-kl99, Hoping4an angel?? Mama-Keya, yes it looks like we will be on the dreaded 2ww again!
How are you doing JG? Did the lap go oaky?
Have a good night...ladies.
Hugs Chas, thinking of you!
Sonya ;)

 

Lizzy4 - April 17

Chas I'm so very sorry! I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better, but I know only time will help you heal. Remember, this isn't the end. At least you know now that you CAN get pregnant. There is hope after all.

 

chele - April 17

MAMMAKEYA, bet your glad to be done w/ those! :0) It's terrific that there will a few of you walking hand-in-hand this cycle. CHAS, honey I am so sorry...:0( I won't even try to say I know the pain your feeling but I, just like the others on the thread are here for you. ((((HUGS)))) WOW! APOLONIA, I was shocked to see your name.... what a pleasant surprise. Well if things go as planned I won't start IVF until around 5/17 or so... we may just be pretty close in the process. SONYA, keep me/us posted on the follies! :0) Good luck to all of you, lot's of Baby Dust! CHAS your in my prayers.

 

Sonyamac - April 17

Hi everyone, hope you doing okay Chas, thinking of you....hugs to you!
Hi Chele, glad to hear that all is moving along well for the IVF stuff..I am sure you are excited...keep us posted!
I had my u/s & b/w done this am., I have to follies that are a good size, 16 & 17, the others are at 11, 12 & 13-doubtful that they will catch the two dominant ones, anyway, I do another 100 iu tonight of Puregon, then back in for u/s & b/w on Wed. am.....my E2 level was good-2186, it was seeming to be very low, the last 2 cycles, but I think that my body is trying to get back to normal after I weaned my little one, I was nursing for 6 months....
So I am hopeful that this will be it for us...........if not we are ready for the ivf stuff, I can't wait any longer for another child, i am 38 1/2..yikes-where does the time go???
Have a good night ladies and BABY DUST HUGS TO ALL.................Sonya ;)

 

kl99 - April 18

Chas- you are in my prayers. I just want you to know my heart goes out to you. Well today is the day I expected af and it is now 6:30pm and she is not here yet. I had a little spotting twice early today, but nothing other than that, no cramps even. I bet I went to the bathroom 20 times today to check. So that means If it doesn't start late tonight, I go in 1st thing tomorrow to test. I am so excited, but scared. I just hope this is in and all my symptoms are just my mind and boby playing tricks on me. I will let you know.

 

Chas - April 18

Thank you all so much for your hugs! It's so great to have people like you who care and know what I am going through. Dh is clueless, he doesn't know what to do or say and I think I get mad and try to say mean things when I really don't want to. He says I blame him and he's sick of hearing "I don't care" I don't know why I say that because I know he does, but it's like if i don't talk about it, it's not there and I really just feel like it's one big nightmare! I still haven't started to bleed. I just want this over if it's going to be, ya know?!? It's hard enough knowing it's over, but it hasn't physically happened yet. Sounds like everyone else is progressing along. Kl99 sounds good, the best of luck to you! good luck on your u/s Sonya. love you all !! :)

 

Apalonia - April 18

Hi Chas,
I know how you feel with DH. If I don't talk about it he doesn't. I always say "You don't know how I feel!" And of course he says that he does but I feel like he says it just to placate me. He has a child from a previous marriage who lives with us while the real mother lives in a different province and has three kids from three different men (1 at 16, 1 at 24 and now 1 at 38), so how can he possibly know how I feel when he has a child that he can go watch play hockey and graduate and get confirmed and so on. While I was there for all thoses events (Becasue the child is 16) I don't feel like his real mother and I want those feelings so when DH says he understands I just want to freak!!! I blood temperature is rising just thinking about it. In addition, while I am sure it hurts them deeper that we know, my DH, at least, could live without having another child and living an adult life style. It would not kill him, while I feel like it will kill me in the end!!!
