Hey ladies, I am so sorry so many of us are in limbo. I just had my 2nd uterine septum surgery and we are trying to decide what the next treatment will be. It appears that my DH's morph, may have gotten better, the latest test says he is finally 30% WHO criteria. So, I think we may do an IUI. It would be absolutely amazing if it worked, but I am so worried that we will end up doing IVF anyway and will spend the money for IUI and IVF and the time too! I so wish we had insurance coverage for this.

Best of luck to everyone.

[sarah16]

Good luck to you too!!

[mrsrodgers]

Good Luck Anastasia....I am going to everything that this will be your month....it is so hard to decide what course of action you want to take....it really seems like we are all going to become big gamblers. I feel like the whole IF thing is one big gamble....

Hi fellow limbo friends. So it looks like DH and I have just suffered our THIRD miscarriage!! Talk about a bad start to the year. We weren't expecting to get pregnant on another natural cycle and we were all geared up for IUI when....yep....BFP. And then the yucky slow rising HCG levels started about a day later and so here I am...once again stuck in limbo!! My RE has even suggested an ectopic pregnancy which is even worse than the m/c, so all in all its a pretty crappy year so far.

Ugh. My RE has now put me down as officially suffering from Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and has given us strict instructions to use condoms until they can get to the bottom of this. Which I'm thinking will never happen as so far they have come up with nothing. But I guess at least they are trying to figure this out...not like my last clinic who didn't care at all that this kept happening.

So thats me in a nutshell. Very much still stuck in limbo with no sign of getting out anytime soon.

How are you girls? lol

[mrsrodgers]

I'm so sorry Alana.....that really sucks....I thought they had run all the tests...there must be some more out there to find out how they can treat this....how are you feeling?????

Me...I'm waiting on AF...I'm on CD44 but since I was so stressed about the party and now I am voiceless (I have a cough and no voice - I don't feel that bad but my DH will probably enjoy my lack of voice) I think that is why I'm late.... I'm sure I'm not pregnant so just waiting for the evil witch to show up....just waiting in limbo.....

Hi Everyone... This sounds like the right thread for me...

I joined the Forum in September 2007 while I was on the 2ww from my FET. Fortunately, I got pregnant; unfortunately, I miscarried at 8 weeks with no indication of a problem. I lurked around in November and December to check on people that I had talked to, then decided to start posting again a few weeks ago.

DH and I have been fortunate that IVF/ICSI has worked for us. Our DD just turned 2 this month! We are now gearing up for a fresh cycle in April. Right now, I am on BCP, and DH is on testosterone and antioxidants. With my March pill pack, I start on Metformin. Until then, I am trying to:

1) Keep my sanity
2) Lose the 8 lbs. that I gained last year
3) Prepare mentally and physically for another fresh cycle

I can be impatient, so the wait to even begin my cycle seems sooooooooo long (who would've thought that waiting 3 months for a 50-50 chance to get pregnant would be so difficult?). I am hoping that April 2008 works out for us as well as April 2005 did. Guess I am now staring the "advanced maternal age" thing straight down the barrel... Can I say that I am a "young 36?" Ha!

Alana--I am very sorry to read about your news. I had a rough time dealing with one m/c... Sending you positive thoughts...

Anyway, I am happy to see lots of good news on the Forum, too, and I am hopeful that 2008 will be a great year for everyone!

[sarah16]

Oh Alana that sucks! I hope it's not an ectopic pregnancy. Be careful. I am still doing acupunture but more for stress and headaches than really IF. I just talked to my agency today and we are third on the waiting list!! So once we get to first we can do our home study. I decided I will call her again next month to see how everything is going.

[mrsrodgers]

Congrats Sarah...it sounds like you are moving up the list quickly....now is the accupuncture working for your stress and headaches??

So my "friend" (and I use that term loosely now) called to update me on her pregnancy and to remind me that she is registered for her shower which lands on a day that my DH and I are going to be out of town (thank goodness)...I asked her who is going to watch the baby when she goes back to work and she said she hasn't thought about it...she also hasn't thought about things the baby needs....(she also said that she is going to have to learn how to change a diaper) I can't believe how clueless she and her DH are....her registry is ridiculous..I think they found the most expensive items and registered for them (I'm not kidding)....no research on what is the safest....(are the IF girls the only ones that worry about this stuff?)

Sorry...I just needed to vent. She knows about our IF struggles but continues to remind me that she is pregnant and didn't really want a baby but it convinced her dad to buy them a house...(this is why she is having a baby) I really hate IF!!!!

[sarah16]

Actually I was having headaches again last week but they stopped after I went to acupunture. I don't go again for three more weeks though. I hope I don't have any headaches in those weeks.

Hi. First post on this thread. Usually on Jan. Team. Sandi - I know how you feel! Saw some friends last night and had to listen to baby talk for hours. Yes, sometimes I think it will never happen. Yes, everyone else in the world seems either preg. or with kids. And yes, I do drink wine!
Alana - I am so sorry. Things are just not fair, are they.
My limbo is actually only a 2WW - so maybe I can't really complain. But the other think I hate about Limbo is that ticking biological clock that keeps on going.... I'm heading for 36 birthday...

Sending love and hope to all of you, Ziggy

[sarah16]

Welcome to the Limbo called IF Ziggy. It seems like we are always waiting for something. Good luck with your 2WW.

Hi ladies, I am eggeting ready for retreival #2 on Wednesday 2/6... and then I am on a month limbo I guess. Our RE suggested freezing 2 cycles of fertilized eggs, and doing FET in March. The say it makes for better Prep of the uterus because it tends to get ignored during the stims cycle, and then they have a chance to really support it's growth. I'm praying that we will be successful, but at times get really depressed when my thoughts start rolling.

Alana I am soo sorry about your news, I can only imagine how it feels, and it's not a good feeling. ((HUG)))

I'm grateful to have found this group of women that are experiencing the same thing things that I am.. no one can understand but those of us that are in the same situation.

baby blessings to all of you!

Hugs

Hi ladies.

Yep, another person in limbo! I am stuck at the moment because we have to wait until the end of the year for our health cover to be effective to pay for IVF. Hubby and I have been TTC naturally since 2002, we knew hubby had low count with bad morphology and motility, but we havent had the money to do anything about it. It has been a long six years of limbo for me. Watching so many arouind me fall pregnant and have children, some of them having more after that too, has been really painful. I hate crying to hubby because he feels incredibly guilty and I dont want to make him feel worse.
Anyway, nice to meet you all and thanks for listening.

Hi everyone, we're also in limbo after 3 IUI's. DH and I met with RE last week and the game plan is an IVF in May. I am trying to enjoy the break from IF treatments. I really hope that something happens in the next two months because I SO don't want to have an IVF- those needles freak me out!

[mdbrum16]

I too am in limbo. I had a consult with a new RE and he thinks that I should never have had IVF done in the first place. He said he would like for me to lose a few pounds before another IUI and he really thinks we will be sucessful. So I have an appt. March 11 to discuss our next plan of action. I have lost 16 lbs since mid December so hopefully he is right.
