Well this is certainly a coincidence, because, I'm 9 weeks pregnant!!! We did the IUI on September 26 and it worked! This is amazing, both of us have struggled and managed to get what we've so desired almost at the same time. I am so excited for both of us! I haven't been on webmd in such a long time. How are things? What symptoms are you having? I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and everything looked good so my RE released me to an OB care and I have my first appt with her at the end of this month, which will make it either 10 weeks or 11 weeks (I have no idea how to count these things). So far the only symptoms I've had is going up a cup size in bra (husband is very happy) and fatigue, which seems to be getting better. Thankfully no morning sickness. I've gained probably 7 or 8lbs, but I think that's mostly due to the fact that as soon as I found out I quit smoking. I'm glad things are going so well for you T. When's your due date?View Thread

best of luck my dear.View Thread
I'm about to do ANOTHER round of Provera then Clomid, so I should probably wait a couple of weeks and take a pg test before doing this...just in case the cervical mucus thing wasn't a fluke? Hope this makes sense, I'm kinda all over the place this morning

I feel exactly as you do. I've told my hubby that if we can't get pregnant he is to pay for me to have my boobs done! I say that like that will make me feel better?!?
Anyway, we had another semen analysis done and this time it came back at 29 million!! Very good news. I called my gyno to see if we could do a higher dosage of clomid and she told me that it was "out of her hands" since I had gone to see the RE. She said his recommendation was either "gonadatropin" or "genotropin"---I couldn't hear her clear enough--which is bad because the first one is for men with low sperm counts and the second one is human growth hormone! I'm very confused because the RE initially (before getting 1st semen analysis back) said that I'd have no problem getting preggers on a higher dose of Clomid. I've called the RE's office and OF COURSE had to leave a message--so I'm just waiting on them to call back.
It's so frustrating, especially when I see my friends preparing to become mother's. My best friend recently went off of BC and had her first period like clockwork (if you remember, I've not had a period since stopping BC). Another friend is getting a bigger car in preparation for motherhood.
My husband and I've talked and at this point (who knows how we'll feel in 5 years) IVF just isn't financially worth it. It costs a lot of money and my feeling on it is that we'd spend ALL of this money trying to get pregnant, get pregnant and then have NO money to support the child!! I just don't want to bring a child into the world and not be able to give it everything that I had and more. Don't get me wrong, we're both fairly successful in our careers--but I just don't want to blow through savings and then have something happen to one of us.
Guess I'm venting too huh? I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. I am very glad though, that I've found someone to talk to as I know NO ONE that is going through what we are. I hope you have a great week

I hope all is well with you. I'm still on my "journey" it would seem I saw the RE and he did all kinds of blood tests, transvaginal ultrasound and even the HSSG (where they run dye through your fallopian tubes OUCH) and all came back normal. He said he could see eggs, and all my blood tests were good. My hubby provided a semen sample, and sadly, his sperm count is low. As of right now our only options are IVF and sperm donor
My hubby has an appt w/ a urologist TODAY to make sure there's nothing wrong with him. My doc said there was no medical reason as to why I wasn't having a period--weird huh? Like my brain is telling my body NOT to ovulate?? Anyway, I hope you're havin better luck than me.take care,

I'm going to get a second opinion for sure. My hubby is constantly berating BC on a daily basis now--he says it is the cause of all of this (I had normal periods prior too). I need a doctor that will do an ultrasound or sonogram or whatever they can do to make sure there's not a fibroid/tumor/mass or something else that could be affecting me internally. I hate the way drs nowadays just remedy everything with a pill instead of trying to get to the "root" of the problem. Please keep me updated on your journey and I'll do the same with you!!View Thread
