Twins!

Quote From: mom2twins

Hello...I'm not sure if I have posted here before or not, but I am now...looking for some more support. Hubby and I have been TTC for almost 2 1/2 years now with no pregnancy yet. We are blessed already with a set of fraternal twins which were conceived on clomid our first cycle trying. Part of the reason it is so hard this time is because they came to us so easily. I didn't know that having a baby could be so difficult. I do my bbt charting, I am currently on clomid again, and I've tried many many different things to help in the TTC process....ugh. It's nice to chat with other women going through the same things.

That's wonderful! I'm sorry you have been having such a hard time the second go-round. It's tough waiting, especially that long. We are six and a half and still counting for the first. It's tough, and I am thinking we may end up with some kind of alternative compromise. Thanks for the website below. I'm assuming your tubes have been checked and cleared. Your doctor might recommend IUI or some injectable meds. Clomid can start to work against you after awhile. I know how tough it is to wait and wait and wait and, well you get the picture. I know about trying all the things to help too. I know I literally stood on my head for two cycles as a sort of joke between my husband and I. We joked that it couldn't hurt! LOL! Actually, I did have a sore head. It's amazing what you will try or do just to feel like you are helping the process in some way. I hope so much you guys get a third or maybe another pair soon. I think twins are amazing. How was your pregnancy with them? We've discussed it a bit, since the fertility meds carry a risk of twins, but only in a casual way. To us, it seems, in theory, an ideal, but the reality of dealing with the pregnancy is a little more difficult and risky.

Anyways, Welcome!

Kim

Been there . . . Done that!

I know how you feel! My husband and I tried for the same amount of time (8 months of it on Chlomid) before we finally switched from our doctor to a fertility specialist. Come to find out, I was not producing mature eggs. After 3 months, one month back on the pill to clear the chlomid out of my system, 1 month of nightly Follistim shots and IUI (which only produced 1 mature egg), and another month of nightly Follistim shots (increased dosage which produced 4 mature eggs) and IUI, we are now expecting triplets in the spring 2006. We are very excited.

I know how disappointing each month is that it comes and goes and you are not pregnant. I would get so depressed. But keep the faith and hang in there. It's hard and frustrating, but worth it in the end. Always feel open to asking your doctor about other alternatives. Our fertility specialist said we were on the chlomid too long! Don't be afraid to ask and look into other options!! You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
