we are about to start our first round of IUI. We too can’t adopt right now because I am not 25 yet, and my insides are in premenapause. i will adopt one day, jut not yet
We have been on Clomid for six months. No results yet. We have a long way to go
What is MRKH? I’m just curious because I’ve never heard of that. I’m also very sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you …
Don’t give up because I believe in miracles. I know several miracles, so to speak, but one stands out in my mind, right now. My friend had one child, a boy, when she was young. She married young, and had her little boy young, but she was happy.
That’s was all she wanted. She started college when he was about 7, but her efforts were interrupted by rounds of D&C’s ’cause of her Endo, and PCOS. She was on 2 forms of BC, and Estrogen, and she got pregnant-totally unexpected-out of room.
We have been on Clomid for 8 months. And we have a beautiful baby girl!!!
Don’t give up hope! It is sometimes very difficult to see the end of the tunnel. Those hormoons are afful, I never cried more then those times but it is worth it.
My heart goes out to you. We, too, endured 4 years of infertility. All the tests, drugs, surgery and roller coasters of hoping, and then finding the strength to try again. I had all but given up. We took a break then went to a different Dr. for nothing but a consult. 3 weeks later found out I was pregnant. For us, hubby’s blood pressure meds. All for a tiny pill he was taking. Whatever the outcome, I wish you the best. Although the answer may not be as simple, I know what you’re going through.
We, too, went through four years. A lot of strength and prayer it took, but not all of it ours. My heart goes out to you. I hope your prayers are answered. Don’t ever lose hope!
We are going through this as well. I understand!
I am keeping you in my prayers!
I just found out that I may possible have PCOS and me and my fiance have been TTC for almost a year. I am sorry
Wow My husband and I have been trying over 2 years and sometimes i feel like my heart just can’t take another negative but then i saw this video and realize that their are those who’ve been trying SO Much longer then i have. I will be praying for you!
We are still trying after 4 years and still dont have a baby in our arms. The more I research infertility the more I relise sooo many people are going though this. I too believe in miracles and ill just wait in line for mine. Heres to hoping all our prayers are answered one day soon.
Have you tried acupuncture and herbs? I know that this may be a strange option for you, but just give it a try for at least 6 months. And after 2 years of the same struggle for me, acupuncture made it happen. It also works great in combination with western medicine to help it work better.
hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sending baby dust your way!
adopt
26dorene26 – have you ever researched the cost of adoption?!?! Not everyone can afford to shell out $20,000. mcarter – babydust your way. We are also struggling with inferility. It took us 4 years to ttc our dd – we have been ttc baby 2 for over 2 years.
is this the right timing to say this? well i think so….SOLO GUITAR: WA-A-A-A-A-A-M singer/ or me: ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL SURVIVE/me
I’ve had over 6 years of infertility, and I love life!! After my HSG I was called into the cancer center to check out some suspicious things on my mammogram (my mom had breast cancer very young). Life is too short to absorb my heart with the things that I do not have. I do not give up hope – but I love living. Tomorrow never comes – and the NOW is the only thing that is guaranteed!! Keep dancing and laughing with those people that are already around you!
Nice job showing what infertility is like. Good luck to you!
theres no way in hell i will ever do fertility treatments to get pregnant. your messing with nature! i too suffer from infertility and dont ovulate but im not sheeling out 14,000 bucks for ivf. no thank you! enjoy life ladies. if it happens it happens if not move on. nursebreakroom is right. life is too short to be worrying about something you dont have(and some of you may never have)
I am so sad now. I got pregnant last year and miscarried in feb 09. I’ve been trying to get pregannt again for almost a year and have no results. Everyione around me is getting pregnant and I feel alone. This video really crushed the last little bit oh hope I had
I am litterally crying. I feel so bad for whoever you are that posted this.
I am glad you have chosen the path that works for you. Every person chooses their own different path. Some live childless, some adopt, some do treatments.
It’s really sad that you make judgments about other people’s life decisions. It would be nice if we could all learn to respect and support each other within the infertility world.
I wish you a long, happy fulfilling life.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Big hugs.
Please dont feel bad for me! This video was made with much hope. Here I am nearly 3 years later. Although I still havent had a child, I have grown so much through my experiences over the last 7 years. I honestly wouldnt trade my life for anyone elses.
Despite what donnad23 says, I know that I will be a mother someday. Right now, we are looking into foster care and adoption, as well as other avenues. Hope is not lost. In fact, I feel more hopeful now than ever before!
