Last week Saturday, I did my first IUI. Since then I have been having alot of discharge almost like ovulation. However, I took 100mg of Clomid for 5 days and a HCG shot to stimulate. My DH has low motility so an IUI was reccommended. On Friday my RE wants me to come in so he can check my blood work. Has anyone ever had discharge after an IUI? If you had an IUI, what is the blood work for? What should I expect on Friday? I am so anxious and scared at the same time. We have been trying for a year and a half. I never thouht I would have to go through all of this to have my first baby. View Thread
I am 33 and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a little over a year. When nothing happened by month 8, I bought a Clearview Fertility Monitor. We've been having sex during the peak of ovulation, and my period has changed over the last few months. It's still happening on a regular timetable every month but it's gone from having one semi-heavy day and then just slowly petering out over a week to having 24-36 hours of extremely heavy bleeding (some of it an almost gel-like consistency) with cramps and then petering out almost immediately. So I feel like something is happening but I don't quite know what.
I am just wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone. Or if there might be an idea of what it could be.
Thanks again.View Thread

Name is Samantha and I live in KS with my husband who is a soldier on Bomb Squad in the Army. Hey, somebodys gotta marry into it right!? LOL.

Anyways, we have been TTC for a year and a half now with no luck. We have done Ovulation kits, sperm friendly lubricants, etc. Nothing...We started looking into infertility a couple months ago and found a Dr. in Kansas City who did alot of testing on both of us to discover if their was indeed an issue. Sperm analysis came back GREAT! Dr. said my husband has "super sperm..." LOL. Only thing they found with me is during my intravaginal ultrasound, they discovered I have Polycystic Ovaires, but my Dr. said he can not determine if I indeed have the "syndrome" aspect. He says some women often will have Polycystic Ovaries but not the actual syndrome. Labs all come back normal despite a slight increase in my testosterone levels, which were BARELY above normal. My periods are regular every month and I ovulate regularly, according to my progesterone tests and numerous spikes in ovulation tests. So there seemed to be no reason to why we should be having difficulties.
My husband has a bad back which makes our "timing" difficult for the past year or so, so this may be the culprite in our situation unfortunately.
To make an already LONG story short...we have decided to start IVF treatment. I have been on BC pills for 3 weeks now and am just about ready to go off of them. I go for my blood level testing this week to determine if I am ready to start my self injection shots! IVF Orientation was OVERWHELMING to say the least! I cried after I left the office because I was just like "How am I going to do all of this..!?!" Im scared of Overhyperstimulation, im scared of the shots, im scared of the procedures!
I need some helpful support from anyone going through IVF or getting raedy to! Any support/expierience you can provide will be SO helpful!
Thanks so much ladies!!

I am now 25 been a lovely relationship with my partner for almost 3 years now. We have been trying since last june 2010 and nothing. I know every one says you should wait upto 2 years but am i wasting my time is it even possible with what i have left?
This is such a draining subject for me now it really upsets me.
I had blood tests done the 1st day of my period and 21st day after for 3 months, which showed i was not ovulating properly.
About a month ago i started to feel a bit of pain similar to the pain i had with the cysts so my doc has sent me for a scan which is the 13th of Oct, do you think they could tell me more whilst im there maybe they can see something i cant feel.
I dont know what i am expecting to hear from posting this, maybe a miracle i dont know.View Thread
After we got married I got a better job and bought a house. So in August (4 months) I came off of the depo i was temp on after the abortion.
I have been trying to concieve ever since. watching my temp, ovulation test, cervix checking....I have still yet to concieve.
I irregular periods, thats why I track so much and all the time.
The past 10 months I have noticed I do not notice a diff in my cervix (You know open or closed, high or low) and I have had a constant ovary pain. Sometimes sharper than other times. Im always fatigued and always feel sick to my stomach. ALWAYS have painful heavy periods.
Question1: Could my abortion have caused scarring and problems where I cant get pregnant again?
Question2: Could it be ovarian cyst that is causing me to be infertile??
I know I need to go to a dr., but I do not want to get hit with horrible news. That would just brake me even more than what i did.
I just want opinions first or maybe self experiences.... Please help me...View Thread
How much success have you had? What other treatments does anyone know of that they had or know someone who had the most success with?View Thread

Did you know there were two kids of surrogates? A Traditional Surrorgate carries the couple's child, conceived with her egg and the father's sperm. A Gestational Surrogate carries a child that is unrelated to her. Both the sperm and egg come from the couple.
Have you tried or considered surrogacy? What are your thoughts?

I went to an OB three months back and after an ultrasound I found out my womb is inverted. She said it's not impossible to get pregnant but it will be difficult. From then on, I always end up emotional when my period comes. I don't want to say I've lost hope but it's depressing everytime. I'm praying to God for a miracle to come in my life because I feel guilty that I'm hardly capable of bearing a baby when DB wants it so badly since last year. I think I've found a place for support here. Thank you for welcoming me around and congratulations to those who have succeeded. I'm waiting for that moment in my life which for sure, I will share to everyone around here.
God bless!View Thread
