  So, I will be the first to post. Reply Contact Hello.  I guess I am the first to post on this board.  My name is Sami and I have a wonderful husband Jason and 2 wonderful kids.  We battled infertiltiy before our first for 4.5 years.  We did all kinds of testing and meds but finally concieved our DD the month after we were told IVF was our only option.  She was a miracle baby.  Our DS was much easier to concieve though we had 2 chemical pg's right before his conception.  Since giving birth to him in March 2005 we have tried for another.  We have had 1 full m/c at 7.5 weeks and several chemical pgs during this time.  I am currently going to start to see an RE about our recurrant losses and infertiltiy.  God bless.

  Re: So, I will be the first to post. Reply Contact Hey girl!! I am here too! So glad the boards are back up...but lord I don't know how long it's gonna take me to get used to them...  Ok...I guess we can make this post the intro post??? Well, here's mine! I'm Jessica, 21, been married almost 3 years. In February 2005 I got pregnant with my DD after only 5 months of TTC and had her on Oct. 21, 05. When she was about 5 weeks old we starting having unprotected relations....but didn't start officially say we were trying for a few more weeks past that. Our journey began on December 1, 2005 and hasn't stopped since. I am now on my 8th round of 100 mg Clomid and hoping this is my month, because if not, we have to take the next step with more invasive procedures.  GL to everyone!!!

Reply Contact Well, welcome to the both of you.  Seems that PW isn't to kind to me yet.  Keeps thinking for long periods of time and I finally give up and close down.  So I haven't been able to get back to some boards much.  I am going to see my RE for the first time on the 27th.  Looking forward to that.

  Re: So, I will be the first to post. Reply Contact So I guess it's my turn... I'm Delia and my husband Kevin and we've been married for a little over a year.  When we were just six months away from our wedding we found out that we were preggers.  Total surprise to say the least!!!  I had a normal healthy pregnancy all the while my little girl had developed a heart defect.  She was born just one day pased my due date with a congenital heart defect called TGA (Transposition of the Great Artieris) .  She died just three hours after being born.  We started trying as soon as the dr said it was o.k.  He asked us to wait a year (emotionally), but physically he would only ask me to wait for six months.  That was still too long for me to wait, so he said that he wanted to see me in three months and we'd re-evaluate our situation.  I think he wanted to make sure that we were ready.  And we were...so in Jan we officially started ttc.  I'm now on my third round of Clomid, my first on 100 mg.  I've had only one semi-normal cycle which was my very fist one which I think was actually anovulatory.  I had an lp defect...on the cycles that I did ovulate!  We desperately want a child.  I feel like I worked so hard for something then didn't get to reap the benefits.  I feel incomplete...I carried a baby to full-term, was in labor for close to three days and delivered my baby.  In every essence of the word I am a mother, but yet I don't have a baby to show for it.  I'm a babyless mother!!!  Sorry to vent like this...I just got into my story and let loose!!!  Thanks for listening, if you're still here!!!

  Re: So, I will be the first to post. Reply Contact Delia-I am sorry such a devestating thing happened to you all. You are so strong to be able to go on, as I don't know how I would deal with that pain. Your story tugs at my heart....I wish things like this never happened. A girl that had went to school with me had a similar situation happen...as she had a normal pregnancy the whole nine months. At one of her appts a few weeks before her due date they found the baby's heart just stopped beating, yet she had to endure vaginal labor so they could get a better understanding of what happened. It didn't help, as they never found out what went wrong. They did go on to have another, a little boy this time who is full of life. Good luck to you. I pray it won't take you all long. My prayers are being sent your way. Huge hugs!! GOD, HAVEN'T I WAITED LONG ENOUGH? I WANT TO BE PREGNANT!!!! 20 months and counting... [url=http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/11996e] [/url

  Re: So, I will be the first to post. Reply Contact Hi everyone, My name is Christy.  I'm 27 years old and have been married for 4 years to Scott.  We've been using Natural Family Planning model since we got married.  We have a 2 year old DD named Mykayla.  We had Mykayla very easily--she was a complete surprise!!  In fact, we still aren't sure how she happened if you look at my chart...oh well.  Anyways, we jumped into TTC in May and figured we'd have no problem TTC.  Well, here we are, 4 cycles later!  I know it's not THAT long to be TTCing, but we've been ready for #2 for over a year...just had to wait some family/job stuff out before TTC.  It's nice to meet all of you!!  I recognize some of you from the TTC board...I lurk but don't post often.    Right now I am on CD5, currently having AF.  I usually have cycles of 32 days, but they've been pretty random lately (31-35). Delia--I'm so sorry for what you are going through/went through.  I hope that this is your month!  My best friend's sister had a similar experience with her first baby, a little girl, although they found out about the heart problem around 30 weeks.  They went on to have 2 healthy, adorable babies!!!!  I wish you LOTS of luck, and we're hear to listen if you need us! Hope you all have a great weekend and that this is our month!!! Baby dust to all--Christy
