Hello I am new to this forum. I am seeking to both acquire advice from those in my situation and vent my frustrations. My husband I have been TTC for over 3 1/2 years now. I am 32 years old and have one child, an 8 year old. I have been to the OB who diagnosed me with 1.) Uterine Polyps 2.) Endometreosis 3.) Hormone imbalance 4.) Scar tissue from my previous c-section as well as my tubes being twisted from not healing properly-the tubes were twisted and scar tissue attatched them to the inside walls.
That being said, I opted for surgery to correct these issues. The surgery was to untwist my tubes and remove any polyps/endometriosis which would then correct the hormone imbalance and help me get pregnant within a few months. However, It has been almost a year since my surgery and still, I am not pregnant. We ttc every ovulation, like clockwork, yet nothing. I have tried natural suplements, such as chasteberry for almost 8 months now...What am I doing wrong, what is wrong with me?
I am nearly ready to give up. I am so saddened, frustrated and tired of the disapointment each month when my mestrual cycle starts again. When will it happen for me? I have tried "not trying" in the first two years or so, we just stopped using protection and I thought "if it happens it happens". But now it has just made me feel that it is not meant to happen. If anyone can relate to this, has advice or needs to vent their own frustrations, feel free to reply. Thank you in advance for both listening and any advice you may have.

why don't you try and take a deep breath, and stop trying for a month or so, then see what happens... that's just my opionion,,,,,,,

I know from experience it is hard to just forget about it and see what happens. I've been ttc for about 2 years now and finally made the jump for fertility help. I consulted a doctor with Shady Grove Fertility Center recommended by a few of my friends and so far very happy with them. They are very friendly and helpful with everything. I should be good to go for a round of IUI in April. Approaching your mid 30's you really should seek fertility help soon. If you are near the Md, Va, DC area check out Shady Grove.

Hi I have been TTC for baby #1 for 3 1/2 years now as well. I have seen everydoctor in the world and have been told that I just have unexplained infertility. I have tried clomid for a year and have pee'd on every stick created by man to check for ovulation. I know exactly how you feel. I was later told that I had huge cyst and fibroids on my ovaries from the clomid. Talk about luck! I know how you feel. The feeling of not being able to concieve is awful but I think if you try to settle down a bit and not think so much about having a baby it might happen.

I just started using the OVwatch. I have heard wonderful things about it. One of my problems was that I was not ovulating on the 14th day. My ovulation was a different day. Maybe you should try this watch. Every blog that I have read says it works wonders.

Hello,
My husband and I have been ttc for 4 years now and we have had no luck. We went to see RE in 2006 and started clomid and had 2 iui. They did not take. I found out I have pcos and was put on metforman 2000mg. But, the RE never checked out my husband. We gave up until Dec. 2008. We went to a new RE and he ran every test known to man on my husband and I. The test came back I was fine but my husband has a very low sperm count. The RE treated my husband with clomid 25mg daily. The Re wanted us to do another iui. So I started clomid 100mg days 5-9 and took a ovadril shot. Then, today we went in for iui and the RE told me we would have to have IVF because of my husbands low sperm count. Went ahead and had iui done but they told me it was a very slim chance of it taking. I am so upset and I don't know what to do. Does any one have some advice?

hello everyone, there are no words to describe the feeling of not being able to conceive, this has been my situation for close to 5yrs and i am trusting God that the situation will change soon. i write from West Africa.
Where i come from, not having children is not an option, u are expected to announce your pregnancy a few weeks after marriage, millions of homes have been broken by in-laws due to this(here we run an extended family system) they would immediately force another woman on the man if there is no sign of pregnancy from the wife, i have been to the lowest of the low, mostly not because of what people do or say to me but out of my own frustration, i have lost my confidence, my social life, i avoid family gatherings and have no friend at all. Nevertheless i trust God.
i bring to everyone today a message of HOPE, my answer to ur situation is 'JESUS CHRIST' just say to him right now, Jesus Christ, i have faith and i trust in you,come into my life and change my situation in the Mighty and Victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen! ITS THAT SIMPLE!

Go get a Bible, read Genesis 48:4, Leviticus 26:8; Joel 2:25-26.

God bless u.

Thanks, sorry to hear. It seems the one thing our body is to do is not working. But God is in control.

Hi,
I am 29 years old and I have a 9 year old son from a previous relationship. My husband and I have been TTC for nearly 6 years. We recently started seeing a fertility specialist @ the Jones Institute. We have been through clomid and progesterone and IUI...it is so frustrating...my husband has never conceived but there is nothing they can do for him apparently. so I have been pumped full of hormones and still no pregnancy...I read and hear in the news about these people that have a million kids and can't help but feel they are selfish...I only want one more...why is it that girls, young girls, and ladies not able to care for themselves let alone a child can conceive and ppl who have stable environments have a hard time...I was only 19 when I conceived my son and his father has never been around...My husband has been his dad for the past 6.5 years...he's a good dad I just want to give him a child of his own...I have suffered from sever depression surrounding this issue...It is so hard for me to believe in such abstract things as justice and God...I feel like I have no faith left.
