Been there . . . Done that!

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. 

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. 

  

Heather
