I just wanted to know if anyone in the guild has also experienced infertility? My hubby and I have been struggling with it for about a year and a half. We are set to start our first round of fertility drugs this next cycle and I am confident it will work! SO I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience! Thanks all!

Best of wishes to you with the fertility drugs! heart
I personally haven't had problems with infertility, but I know there are those in the guild that have. I also have a couple of dear friends in real life who've struggled with the issue.

I had problems getting pregnant with Bobbi. I was diagnosed with PCOS, Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Basically its hard to tell when I ovulate if I do at all, its not uncommon for me to miss periods. I got lucky though and found and AWESOME doctor who didnt waste anytime trying to get me pregnant so it only took me 8 months to get preggers with my daughter. I took Clomid (fertility drug) at 50mg which didnt make me ovulate so we bumped it up to 100mg and I got pregnant.
I wish you all the luck on the meds! I find they are great!
I also have a friend who has been on Clomid with all 3 of her kids so I know it works!! biggrin

Anyway, no I haven't even started trying to get pg yet, but from previous family history, i'm afraid it's gonna be the opposite problem... trying NOT to get pg at really bad times. Apparently the women in my family are really very fertile and get pg easily, quite often when they weren't intending to. so we just have to be careful. I can't imagine though, having troubles with it. I'd be heart broken cause I just love kids so much! I really hope your drugs work out for you!
heart Sticky Baby Dust for you! heart

Thanks all for your kind words! I've been doing alot of reading and research, finding out about different drugs and how they work and about different things! Its highly frustrating but there is nothing more in this world that we want! I am awaiting some blood tests, an ultra sound and another test called an HSG. (they inject dye into my uterus to make sure my tubes are open and the eggs can get where they need to go!!) I'm afraid of all the tests, but in the end I know the juice is worth the squeeze!

Pinkee amandapace7 Pinkee I got lucky though and found and AWESOME doctor who didnt waste anytime trying to get me pregnant... I'm much the same way!! Thats why I was super relieved to learn that our fetility specialist is a woman!! Then she referred me to a male gyno for other tests...lol...oh well, its for the future and I really want one with children in it!! smile

My best friend has been trying very hard to get pregnant for some time now. She's only been with her significant other for about a year, though, and even though I'm certain that she would make a great mother, I don't think that either of them are prepared for the massive life changes that they would have to make. She is also obese and has high blood pressure, so as much as I feel badly for her, I also think it might be for the best that the two of them wait so they would have time to make the necessary changes in their lives. However I don't see that happening any time soon. Jen is a meat and potatos kind of girl who shuns eating nearly all vegetables. The two of them are into smoking pot and drinking socially. As I said before, she's overweight and I don't see her really making an effort to change that.
When I became pregnant this last time, she and her boyfriend were actually very resentful towards me for it. To the point where her boyfriend was actually kind of mean to me for a while. She kept wondering why us and not her and she was very sad. While I felt badly for her (especially since my pregnancy was far from planned, I explained the many differences in our lifestyles that could attribute to her lack of fertility and my (and my boyfriend's) abundance in it. They still refuse to take my advice to heart, though....
But, who knows? I was a very different person before my Torri came along. It was the very fact that I became a parent that made me a better person. Otherwise, I probably never would have changed the way that I lived. confused

kasumi_ocada The two of them are into smoking pot and drinking socially.
But I do have to say something here, being overweight doesnt mean you cant or shouldnt have kids, I am and I didnt encounter any problems because of it. I know I should lose, but that will come after Im no longer working and have the time to do so.
Just my 2 cents..... redface

I'm really wondering lately if its my weight that keeps me from concieving! At first we thought it was my husband's sperm count (it was quite low but is almost at the norm!! YAY!!) I just filled my prescription for clomid today! I'm excited to take it but its mixed emotions right now!! When I get my period it will be a reminder that I am not pregnant again this month, however it gives me hope that we will finally start on the path to for sure becoming parents!! I hate the roller coaster then Infertility causes!!

Yeah, you already posted in my happy thread, Destiny05, so I figured I'd support you in yours. Trying for almost two friggin' years for baby #2 really was a roller coaster. Then again, I think the timing has turned out for the best (for everybody else - I'm 6 weeks along, due on Thanksgiving). My husband changed careers last fall, and is now starting to really settle in and enjoy what he's doing now. Having to wait so long means Laren had a chance to get settled before having to be a new-baby daddy, and I think he's a lot happier for it. So, you know, maybe there isn't any problem at all with you, maybe the universe is just waiting for the right time. Granted, a month ago I would have grumbled a fair bit about anybody saying that to me, so...take it with a grain of salt, okay? sweatdrop Even with all the frustration, I found it pretty helpful to be able to get out of the mindset of "there's something wrong with me" and think that maybe "it isn't the perfect time yet - and we want everything to be perfect, so it's all good".
My best friend had a lot of trouble getting any of her pregnancies to take - miscarriages were the rule, and it really tore her up emotionally, so she's been on a constant dose of hormones with all three (count 'em!) pregnancies to make sure those babies stay put. In cases where hope and/or time is running at low ebb, I think most fertility treatments are a godsend, if only because that way the parents know they're doing *something* to help. Good luck with the Clovid!

Good luck with the Clovid! Thank you for your kind words!! Its funny because last night my hubby and I had the same conversation! Maybe this isn't the right time or maybe if we did have a child we couldn't appreciate them as much as we will when we finally become Pregnant! (not saying anyone else does not appreciate their babies...just maybe this is the way its supposed to happen for us!) I do not take any offence to anything you said! Yesterday we found out someone who didn't even want kids for like four more years is now pregnant! She's much younger then us and now they are having a quick wedding to make things right. (she also did not want to get married right away!) It frustrates me because I know people who only get pregnant to trap their boyfriends into marrying them or staying with them!! How wrong is that?? and here we are married for almost nine months (together for two years) and we can't make it work!! Oh well, today the sun is shinning and I am happy! I know that we will get our baby when the cards fall into place in our destiny of life!! Thanks again! And Congrats!!!!!! smile
