are you taking any supplement?
No. Just pre-natal vitamins
DH is taking GNC Mega Men Sport (he has low motility) as well as 500mg L-carnitine
why are you ttc naturally?
I want to finish my Masters degree. Right now IVF is not financially an option for us. Seeing it is something we can only afford one I really want that to be a last option. I want to trust in God for this
how long are ttc naturally?
For at least another few years

04/08- Will begin using digital fertility monitor

5/5 First visit with RE. Ordered SA for hubby and some lab work for me
5/20 2nd transvaginal untra sound. Very good. Beautiful uterus and ovaries . Even got a picture of my ovary getting ready to release egg
5/28 hubby got his sa. Will not get results until 6/4 at our plan of action appointment. Started taking Multi Vitamin and L-Carnitine

5/29 going to get progestrone levels checked
6/4 RE visit told DH sperm low motility and poor morphology
7/8 DH's blood test normal~ Thank God!! Although frustrating to not know what is causing low motility

Decided to TTC naturally (with God, vitamins, and suplements) until January then will proceed with IUI.



Looking forward to cruise in December
For a miracle

No. Was thinking about Fertilityblend but haven't heard anything (good or bad) about it.

why are you ttc naturally?
Because hubby wants to wait until we have been TTC a full year before seeking help. We did finally concieve Tristan naturally (after 2 yrs and several m/cs) so he thinks it will happen again.

how long are ttc naturally?
Since December so....8 months

are you going back to stimming? if yes when?
Not sure if that will be part of our protocol when we do seek help but if we have to you bet we will.

are you taking any supplement?
Royal jelly to improve egg quality and bee propolis to help with implantation along with prenatal, baby aspirin, and preseed during ovulation
why are you ttc naturally?
Have tried several Clomid/Injectable cycles with no luck and taking a break emotionally and financially and hoping for a miracle.
how long are ttc naturally?
I am on my fifth natural cycle since stopping injections and plan on giving this at least a few more months.
are you going back to stimming? if yes when?
Possibly sometime this fall. May do 1-2 more injection w/IUI to see if my recent weight loss (around 30 pounds in 7 months) would have any positive effect or may go straight to IVF.

I wish all of us who are TTC naturally the best of luck. Jessica I did not realize that you had several miscarriages. I am sorry to hear that . Was there anything they found that help you get pregnant with Tristan?

Nope, nothing at all

why are you ttc naturally?
Saving money for adoption. After doing several IUI's I decided I could not physically or financially do any more fertility treatments--at least for the moment

how long are ttc naturally?
Well, tough question. Until we either become pregnant or decide that we are ready to do IVF-after we have adopted for sure.

are you going back to stimming? if yes when?
Not for awhile. Not for years probably.

Thank you Mia! I had 2 m/c's later on (around 15 weeks) so they realized I had an incompetent cervix so now a cerclage is needed for every pregnancy. My early on ones (around the 8-9 weeks) are unexplained. No abnormalities could be found so we chalk it up to it just wasn't meant to be at the time. While it was painful to go thru at the time now I realize all of this had to happen for us to have been blessed with Tristan.

Hopin4baby- I wish you the best of luck and sending lots of your way. This thread is a great idea. BTW what is your first name or would you prefer I just use hopin4baby?

Jessica- I am so sorry about your losses I did not know you were RPL. And you are completly right everything had to happen to bring you Tristan. I just know that there is some reason I have not gotten pregnant yet but when I am holding my little baby I am sure I will know in that instant.

Steph- Hello old buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How have you been? I miss you .
