Still waiting for baby No 1.All the beat to you ladies.

I'm trying for my first baby with DH. We are only on our 2nd cycle ttc but so far nothing. I know I have a LPD so I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get a gyno consult and hopefully take care of this. I hope that is all that is wrong. I too long to be pregnant. I want so much to feel a baby grow inside me. :(

The hubby and I have been trying for about 6 or 7 months now and still no luck :-( I don't ovulate and am on my second cycle of clomid to assist (50mg again) hopefully I'll have some success this go round, I get so sad and frustrated about this...I long for a happy healthy baby...wish me luck!

Hi everyone!  Ttc.  The Dr. put me on prometrium for the last half of my cycle to regulate and lighten my painful and very very heavy periods.  I am not sure how Prometrium is supposed to help when ttc, since the warnings on it say not to take if pregnant! I thought progesterone was a good thing while in early stages of pregnancy.  :P  so confused.

I have also started taking Chasteberry/Vitex to help as well.  Any info or personal testimonies would be great!  :)

[Lubov]

8th Cycle of TTC  unfortunately, I just got my period 2days ago....I will take my 2nd CD3-7 clomid tonight,  though my MC is driving me nuts..I was 30 then 32 now 36. hopefully this will be the best time for us.

I wish everyone here will get what they wished for.......may this 2008 be the lucky year for all of us.

Good Luch and God Speed!

[Liz02]

I am trying for my second.  This is my sixth cycle of trying.  I had no problem with number one, which makes this so frustrating!  My doctor has me taking Robitussin for my cervical mucus....I just ovulated, later than I thought, we are going to see if/when my period comes.  I may have Luteal Phase Defect...anyone here have it and go on to conceive through Clomid?  I think that is my next step....Good Luck to All....

My husband and I have been trying for 10 months. My doc just put me on Glucophage or Metformin(generic) to treat me for PCOS. (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) I dont have regular cycles. I have had one natural period in 10 months. I have heard that this Glucophage will help you lose weight by controlling the insulin in your body, which is a nice side effect. I have heard great things about the medicine, and I am going to start tomorrow. I am struggling with the incertainty that I will never become a mom... its frusturating but I have to remember that God opens and closes the womb in this time... but in the mean time I am going to be on Metformin! :)  
Good Luck ladies! Please keep writing its nice to read about other women going through the same thing as me!

[worriedandscarednow]

I am trying for my first, however I haven't had a period in 2 1/2 years, went to the doctor, and he was unable to help, so he sent me to a gynecologist, who then diagnosed me with PCOS. Turns out I've had it ever since I've been having periods...my cycles were never regular...I started having periods at age 11, so yeah. my gyn prescribed me two months ago with 200mgs of prometrium, and it did not work at all, so this month he gave me 400mgs of prometrium, and I'm on day 4 of the meds, and I'm supposed to take it for twelve days. I hope it works this round, last time I didn't ovulate...I hope I do this time. Once I have a period he's switching me to Clomid, that is, if I ovulate... I wish you the best

[anonymous007]

I have been trying for more than 2 years, took chlomid and got pregnant, but had a miscarraige. I am thinking of trying again, this month. I told my husband, lets not get each other anything. Just pray for a baby and see if we get what we want for Christmas. I really hope so. May God Bless us and all of you with a healthy baby!

[Lexima]

Trying for 2 years.  Gone through Clomid, now I'm on ijections.  This month has been really stressful for me.  Next month I'm taking off and will restart for jan/feb cycle.

I long for the day when I don't have to think about the meds, re appts or suffer through a 2ww.  This is just unbearable.

[summer0728]

We have ben trying for 5 months now.  I have had multiple issue and am going ito the dr. in about 15 days for a pelvic ultrasound to check for a reoccurance of polyps in my uterus and the check my overies.

[bree2008]

My DH and I have been ttc for about 2 years, We just found out why were not getting pregnant! My husband has a low sperm count, mobility and shape. For the past 2 years I thought it was because of me that we could not conceive. At the beginning of the year my DH and I are going to start IUI. I'm hopeful right now and a little scared. Good luck to all of you

[Helen72]

You should be monitored by your obgyn if you are taking clomid.  One of the potential side-effects is ovarian cysts.  So, at the end of each cycle you should be checked out.  Also, you should not take clomid for more than 3 cycles since it can thin your lining and prevent implantation.
Good luck!
