It's been a while since I posted but I've checked regularly to see if anything is going on.
Prayforamiracle, I've thought of you often and hope you're doing well. I know the last time we spoke you were going through a rough patch. I really hope things have gotten better for you.
As for me things have been a little crazy. We had 3 failed IVF, first one resulting in a chemical pregnancy. Then I had lap and hysteroscopy and we hoped that would be the answer for our third IVF but it wasn't.
After the last IVF we had decided that we were done with IVF even though we still have a blast frozen. It was a lot of money each time and we weren't getting anywhere. RE said he thinks I need to get pregnant to fix the problem. He couldn't get the blast in without making me bleed. So anyways, DH and I decided that we would go back to IUI, take our time and in the mean time start the adoption process. We looked into a couple agencies and found one with a private infant adoption and we are working with them now.
Crazy thing is I just finally got a BFP! I really wasn't expecting anything of this last IUI and was so focused on the adoption process that I really hadn't thought of it. Until one morning I woke up not feeling well and decided to test for the heck of it, expecting to see a BFN, but I was wrong. I had both my beta's this week and all looks great. Can't wait to find out how many we're having.
Just wanted to post an update and wish good luck to everyone.View Thread


As far as the guilt with your DH, I'm sure he doesn't hold it against you, and you're blaming yourself when he is not. He married you because he loves you, and not someone else who may or may not have already had children. I'm willing to bet anything he's not thinking that way and is more concerned with how you're doing.
Sometimes taking a break can really help. We had to take a couple months off because of my surgery and it was really a good thing for me. I finally got to enjoy life a little bit more. My RE told me I had no restrictions when I asked if it was okay to have a glass of wine here and there. He pretty much laughed and told me to go get drunk haha.
Praying for you!View Thread

I never took Femera but I did take Clomid which I think are very similar. With clomid they start you off on a low dose and then increase as needed. I'm pretty sure they do the same with Femera so you may just need to keep increasing the dosage until it works for you. They don't want to start you on too high of a dosage and go overboard. Good luckView Thread

I've been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing?
If I remember right the last time you gave an update you were saying that you had to take some time off due to scheduling?
Just wondering if you've been able to start another round or are still waiting and how you're doing.View Thread

Don't worry about the metformin, my RE told me its completely safe during the first trimester. Its at the end of the first trimester that you have to go off of it. He also told me that it can do absolutely no harm to a fetus during that first trimester so you have nothing to worry about.
Again, congrats!View Thread


During this break I've actually been thinking a little more about adoption. When is it time to just move on? I feel so guilty for thinking that too. I'm just so tired of all the meds and all the treatments. I just want it to be over with, but I want a baby, my baby, more than anything in the world right now. I've even thought maybe we should start the adoption process while still trying to conceive our own. I asked my husband one day, how do we know when its time to move on? He told me we will move on when I say its time to move one. He knows how hard this is on me and doesn't want me to do anything I don't want to anymore. I guess deep down I don't feel like now is the time to give up on treatments and I'm hoping that when the time comes I will just KNOW and it will feel right.
I just want a baby so badly. Seems like every one I know is pregnant or has children. Every time we go out with friends who have children I have to listen to them talk about their kids the entire time. Or hear about another friend who is pregnant and I'm just so sick of it. And I'm tired of feeling the way I do about it too.
Hopefully after Thursday we'll have some answers and will know the best way to proceed.
Also, sorry for the rambling.View Thread


I have been on both the clomid and the metformin. A lot of women have success on the clomid. The good thing about clomid that if it doesn't develop follicles they can keep increasing the dosage up to 150 - 200mg. You just have to be careful because the higher the dosage the more it can actually reduce your lining. I did not respond to the clomid but I also seem to have a lot of other issues.
Are you on metformin because of insulin resistance, or trying to lose weight? I took it after my miscarriage to help with preventing future miscarriage. They've done studies where it helps with that. While I'm not insulin resistant I still took it. I also didn't really need to lose weight but it still helped me lose a few pounds and keep it off without even trying.
Are you seeing an OB/GYN or an RE? I've been seeing an RE for about a year and a half but like I mentioned previously I seem to have more issues than what first met the eye. I know it can be extremely frustrating, I've been there, trust me. Its one of those things you just have to keep pushing forward and eventually you WILL get you miracle.
Good luck to you and please do not hesitate to ask any questions.View Thread
