Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

A co worker of Kevin's just got his gf pregnant. Personally I think she is just trapping him. He got divorced about a year ago and this is the first gf since the divorce. Belle everything happens for a reson and that is a good reason. How many of the people on this thread have infertility problems and how many are just trying to conceive with no problems? Also what is the age of everyone

No infertility problems with # 1 (Diana) and I'm 38

I'm going to be 30 tomorrow. DH is 38. I'm fine - at least, I think I'm fine. If this IVF fails, I'm demanding certain tests for myself before I endure this again. DH has low testosterone, which causes a low count and low motility. His urologist put him on Clomid, which worked wonders, but we didn't know how long he'd be on it and how long it would take after that, so we just bit the bullet and moved on to IVF. My RE says if I was 23, she'd have held off on the IVF, but it was time to get the ball rolling since we didn't know how many times it would take and we didn't want this dragging on for 2 more years.

I was of the opinion that my best friend's miscarriage was God giving her a way out of this terrible marriage. She didn't take it and now she's trapped and miserable. I try and be there to listen, but I honestly have no stomach to be on the phone with her while she's telling me "motherhood is overrated".

Hi all......

I really need to vent so bear with me here. My DH is driving me CRAZY!! I made the mistake of showing him the success rates of IVF and he's fretting over the possibility of this taking more than once or twice and how we don't have insurance to cover it after two times...blah blah blah. I'm trying to be sympathetic b/c I know he feels bad that it's his azoospermia causing us to go through this. I understand that...but I should be the one stressing right now. It's MY body that is going to have needles going in and out of it...NOT this. Him stressing out is stressing me out and that's not good for my body or for baby production. I'm trying to be calm and relaxed and just go with the flow. If it happens...it happens. If doesn't...we'll try again. Trust me...I'm an impatient person and normally when I want something I want it right then. That attitude isn't going to get me anywhere right now. I have to trust in God and I really want him to do the same. He's a really religious guy so I don't see why it's so hard for him to trust that it will happen if it's meant to be.

If you're still with me at this point...THANK YOU!!

I just needed to get that off my chest and I knew that you all would understand. I'm headed to my scrapbooking retreat this evening and I think I'm going to enjoy three days away from him. That's sad I know...but right now...it's true.

I'm TTC #2 (well, sort of) and I'm 21. I guess I wouldn't say I have infertility problems, but if it makes any difference, we were TTC #1 for 1.5 years and I have a m/c history, so I don't know how things will be this time around, or what category that puts me in.

I'm 29 and DH is 40. DH has azoospermia (sperm won't come out the normal way) and I have PCOS. His sperm are frozen and we're starting IVF next week.

I hear you! I think men think about the numbers, statistics, etc... where women think about the emotional part of it. Not gender-bashing, just trying to understand our beloveds and their different needs.

Too bad we can't drown ourselves in a bottle of wine to de-stress!

Carla, I know she is your best friend and all...but she sounds terribly insensitive under the circumstances

I am 38 too.

I don't have infertility problems per se...I can get pregnant whenever I want to. I just can't stay pregnant (I have had three miscarriages.) I do have one perfect little girl, and I had a great pregnancy with her with no problems at all.

Hi Everyone

Firstly, I have posted on here a twice, earlier on ... I am really just having a bad week and instead of keeping my feelings inside of me I decided to post for once. I will be 30 in two weeks and my dh turns 38 in later this year. For medical reasons we had to wait before conceiving. I had a couple surgeries. We have always wanted children.
Firstly, I dont know if anyone has any problems with their in-laws but after being married almost six years, I just cant take their comments any longer. Secondly, the stress the last few months has caused my periods to become very weird - I mean no actual pain but I have had my period for 10 days once, then spotted for almost 2 weeks and now I have had my period going on the second week but its very light. I did go to the doctor - had tests done and he said it seems like its just stress

Sorry to go on but I just feel like crying.

I wish everyone much love and more pixie dust.

Thanks for reading

 

[LisaB]

hi princess welcome back. I know what you mean about the inlaws. Kevin's parents are clueless. When did everyone get their first symtoms when they were pregnant. I have felt nureous over certain food ie beef which I was that way over Diana but I feel crampy

 

[beckmrk04]

Princess4Eeeyore- feel free to come and vent. We'll keep extra s on hand! TTC is very stressful. I'm feeling those effects right now, in addition to having started a new job and being broke. So, we all know that we all need some venting space. It WILL get better.

DMickey28- Thank you SO much for your response. It really, really meant a lot to me.

Carla- how're the Bunlets? Cozy and comfy, I hope!

Well- still no AF. No spotting, even. I think I have cramps tonight- but if cramps could be "vague" then these definitely are.

Anyway- the sky is turning a weird green/black color- which in the Midwest means there's a helluva storm heading in- turn off your computer!! I'll check in later

We don't have any *known* fertility issues. I am 27 almost 28 and DH is 31. We have been trying for 5 months, just off BCP in December. Had a BFP in early-Mid May but had a very early M/C. We are now taking the summer off due to a VERY VERY stressful move... At least know we now we are fertile together, now we just need a sticky bun. I think it really took until May for my cycle to get normal b/c that was the first month I had *ALL* the O signs.

Carla ~ I can't tell you how excited I am for you... Prayers are being sent for you. I hope the (why can't I remember the word you were using?? Bunlets??) are sticky!

HI Everyone.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Okay--sticky buns is a new one for me. LOL!


And yes Carla--we are praying for the bunlets!

 

[beckmrk04]

I'm 25, DH almost 27. Off BCP since March (this was our 3rd cycle ttc). No known problems.


QOTD for 6/23 is in OP.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

QOTD 6/23--the only thing I can think of right now--pedicures and massages!!! And CUTE maternity clothes!
