Topic : Infertility

I stumbled on a new approach to fertility issues and wanted to share after I saw the show today.  It is natural fertility.  Basically it is a detox along with building up nutritional reserves but it is having really good results and it is natural so it much much cheaper.

Here are the websites from Australia that started the natural fertility but I also found a practitioner here in IL that is using the same approach.

www.tonicaustralia.com.au - this website has a study that is pretty impressive.

Also, check out the Newsweek, their cover story is on fertility.

Anyway, after 3 years of "trying" , I am going to make an appointment and hope that I get the results that I have been dreaming of.

My husband and I went through years of infertility. It was all consuming. 4 years ago this week I had my 2nd IVF (After 3 iui's and lots of assisted cycles on other drugs). My embryos were all D quality (the lowest they consider viable). I begged the Dr to put all 4 back and he did. I now have twins that are 3 years old and just the light of my life. When we found out it was twins our fertility specialist was shocked. He said I had a 10% chance of any one of them working, it's a little science and lot of hope and prayer!

My experience with infertility has changed my entire fiber. I am a much better mom than I would have been. I have learned to be patient (something I never knew how to do before), and I am THANKFUL for every blessing in my life. My children are a true miracle and we celebrate that every day. Honestly, 4 years later my husband and I tell each other how lucky we are every single day.

I hope anyone reading this, that thinks that they are at the end of their rope, realizes that even if it looks bleak, it can happen. Stay positive, treat yourself well, and try hard to put your energy into doing good for others. It will fill (a little bit!) that void in your heart and give you strength you need!

Currently I am a 27 year old who has been trying to concieve for a year now.  I was diagnosed with PCOS.  I went through one cycle of clomid oral tablets and we found out my husband who is 27 as well has his own infertility issue going on.  Our doctor said the clomid worked for me but we are struggling with him now.  He wants children but not as desperately as I do.  He does not do the things the doctor suggests such as simple lifestyle changes.  He does not want to pour money into expensive treatments because he would rather pay off a house.  This is such a frustrating time for me and I feel like my husband should support this. I feel that I have supported him during two very long military deployments and put off having children because of these deployments.  I just wish he could understand why I want to try every route possible and do whatever it takes.  Everyone tells us we are young and why the hurry but I wanted children yesterday! 

I can relate so much with the other ladies who want a baby more than anything in the world. I feel like I have been cursed in life to not have had a baby. I spent 14 years in a relationship ( we started dating when I was 18 and he was 29), for the first year we talked about having one child, then he said he did not want any children and I agreed and I really thought that I DID NOT want children and we lived our lives, but when I hit my early thirties, my biological clock kicked into overdrive, and I wanted a BABY!!!!!!!!. BUT, he said "NO" and would not even discuss it, he said If I wanted a child to go and find someone else to have kids with. I ended up leaving him, part of the problem was the baby issue but he also refused to marry me, even after 14 years, etc, etc. SO, I left and started dating a man who DESPERATELY wanted a baby also, but after two years of unprotected sex and still no pregnancy, he went for a sperm analyis and we found out that he has ZERO SPERM!!!!!!! How can life be so UNFAIR????????? He says I should go find a man who can give me a family and actually a lot of people say for me to go find another man, but I LOVE him, and don't want to just run away to find another man with the hopes for a child. I feel like I have tried twice in Two different relationships to have a baby and I have failed both times. Why does my mind and body want a baby so bad? I feel like the most unlucky person alive, my older sister has 5 kids and my younger sister has 2 kids and my brother just called a few weeks ago to announce that he and his girlfriend are pregnant!!!! Can it get any worse or more painful than it is now??

Husband and I are both 31, high school sweethearts, got married on our 7 year anniversary, been married now for 7 years, been trying to have a baby for 5 years. We've tried the clomid, the shots, everything it seems like. I've had 2 laparoscopy surgeries done which they found endometrosis really bad, they lazered it out both times. In Sept 07 we tried IVF for the first time, it was unsucessful. We are now waiting to do the frozen IVF in January.

We both want children, and it's so heartbreaking to see all of my family and friends have their own children, talk about them constantly, when I want one so bad. I find myself very distant with my family and friends because I get depressed around their children. I'm constantly reminded of what we don't have, or possibly never will have. I never ever imagined we would have such problems. My husband and I have good jobs, both come from a loving family, we have a great strong relationship. the one thing we lack that we both want so bad is a child of our own. I know we always have adoption, but growing up that was my dream, and now what will I do if they dream never happends for me?

I wish nothing but the best for all you ladies. What we are all experiencing is not fair. Noone understand what we are going through.

I am 33 and going through the same thing.  My new insurance that I have now only covers $3,000 of infertilty and we all know how expensive it is.  We are ok, but we don't have the money to pay out of pocket.  I have already used most of that $3,000, and I WON'T GIVE UP!!  No matter what.  I not only pray for myself to have a child I do pray for all the women out there that have difficulties getting pregnant, because I know how it feels.  Even though my husband is great and we are so happy together, it still is not any easier, and we promised each other that this would not interfere with our relationship.  I go through all the emotions a lot, angry, sad, anxious.  It is tough, probably one of the hardest things to go through but please don't give up.  I am not sure that this is the help you were asking for, but I hope some encouraging words may help.
