Am I ever going to have a baby?

Question

My hubby and I have been trying to have a baby for the past two years now. I have been seeing a fertility specialist since February of this year. So far I have been on clomid three times and tried artificial insemenation twice. the first try did not work. I have to wait two weeks to see if the second try will work. I am losing all sense of hope. I have been trying to be patient. But it is killing me inside. I would just like to speak to someone who has had similar problems.

My hubby's sperm count is very good. And my menstral cycle is very consisent and I ovulate every month around the same time. it's easy to say "don't think about it, just have sex". But it has gotten so difficult to have sex without thinking about it.

Answer 1

Oh, my, sounds like my story- yours just hasn't had an ending yet.... I took Clomid for 2 months the first time, only to end up with my husband in the hospital for 2 weeks with a complicated surgery. It was hard enough because the first month they did a progesterone level and it came back the same as a post-menopausal woman and I was TRYING to get pregnant....
When my husband recovered, I took three more courses of Clomid. By the third course, I had had enough. I was having terrible mood swings and wasn't getting pregnant. I had decided in my own mind that if I didn't get pregnant this one last time, I was going to give up the whole idea.
I spoke with my doctor just before starting the third course of Clomid and he put me on Provera (to start my period on purpose), then I took the last course of the Clomid. Later that month I found out I was pregnant.
Easy? Not on your life- I was informed a few days after that of the fact I had a tubal pregnancy, had surgery the next day during which the surgeon had to go to the waiting room to tell my husband they couldn't find the tubal pregnancy, and a week or two later they found (on ultrasound) the tubal pregnancy AND my son, tucked carefully away in the uterus where he belonged. The tubal dissolved on its own which was a rare occurance and I have a beautiful 10 year old boy today!!!!
I tell everyone I know that if you think it won't happen, there is always a way. Never say never. Have patience and talk to your doc. Hang in there!!!!

Answer 2

I went through the hell of infertility, too. I was on clomid with no result. I went on a diet and lost 25 pounds......and boom.....got pregnant on my own. Im now a mom of 4, so dont lose hope. I went through it for 5 years. Youll have a baby when God is ready. Please believe that. Im not preaching to you or anything, but he sure doesn't make mistakes. My friend tried to have a baby for 6 years, went through a divorce, and got pregnant by her boyfriend about 4 months after that...lol...things just happen like that. Dont give up. It will happen.

Answer 3

When our daughter was 2 we decided we wanted another baby but year after year went by with no luck. (I did not take fertility drugs) It wasn't until i stopped actively trying to get pregnant that it finally happened for me. I think it was all the stress that I was putting myself through that was keeping me from getting pregnant. We now have 2 children, a girl 12 and a boy 3. Time and patience honey, time and patience.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, that you're having a hard time..........

This hasn't happened to me, but a friend said that these tips are helpful for making the quality of your eggs better:

Eat whole foods
Avoid processed foods
Avoid sugar
Exercise at least three times per week (walk, jog, bicycle, swim with regular stretching and weight resistance)
Eliminate toxins (environmental, stress, excess alcohol, smoking etc.)
Sleep 7-8 hours every night, uninterrupted
Avoid eating meat and dairy products treated with hormones

Answer 6

I think one of the major factors seems to be all of the pressure of trying to have a baby. When you are stressed out about it, it seems like it's harder to concieve. Also, don't use anything from plastic (for eating.. drinking.. food storage. Many plastics have estrogen in it that are released into your food and can be somewhat of a birth control.

Just relax!! Also, make sure your hubby is wearing boxers instead of briefs. Eat well (both of you) and stay away from junk food and pop. Eat organic if you can =)

Answer 7

Well you can only get pregnant about 1 day out of the month. This is while you are in ovalation and right before your menstral period. You should get him checked as to wether or not he is steril too. I don't know if women can be steril but you should ask your doctor about that. All I know is that about 1 day out of the month you can get pregnant. Try finding that day and just keep trying.

*don't ask me how I know these things... and if you must know... I just know alot of stuff*

Answer 8

I know its hard when you're trying to get pregnant and have continuous disappointments. Keep ya head up sweetie. But all I can say is it could be stress. Stop trying so hard. Do it for the fun of it. I have 2 kids and it just happened. Havin fun. Stress might just be preventing you from getting pregnant

No. You're not going to ever have a baby. Instead, concentrate on perfecting your recipe for potato salad.
