We have gone through months of fertility drugs and 2 IUI's and still no . I really not sure how much long of this heartache I can truly take. We do have a great 4 year old DD, so maybe we just should count our blessings for her and call it good.

I'm not really certain what your issues are that you are dealing with (sperm count, etc.), but I will say that sometimes it does take a bit. I do not have fertility issues to speak of...my husband does not have sperm and we used a donor. We have stuck it out through the iui process...see my signature for the details. I think it is worth it, but it is heartbreaking month after month getting BFN's. You have to do what your heart and head say...because it is an emotional rollercoaster.

We are here for you!

Hi. I am sorry you have lots of emotions regarind IF. We all understand where you are coming from. My question would be what kind of drugs were you using for your IUI? If you were only on clomid, will you consider injectibles? (obviously, $$ dependent). What is your IF factor?
Sometimes we all give up on our dreams due to high emotions, but try to stay strong and fight for what you want. However, if the emotions are too strong, you might want to focus on your DD. It is a choice that you and your DH will have to make. We are just here to give you support with whatever you decide.
Good luck dear.
Hugs,

I have been on Clomid since November and Metiformen since January. I do get the Trigger injections a day and half before my IUI.

When the world falls down around you
and a prayer will see you through
Say an extra prayer for someone
Who may need it more than you.
For who knows whose hearts are breaking
In the silence of the night
Just that extra prayer you whisper
May help someone to see the light.
Every time you help a stranger
With an extra prayer or two
You are building extra blessings
That will always come back to you.


I wanted to let you know that
I was thinking of you today!
Pass on the Love...

My husband and I have no trouble gettind pregnant but always lose it at 6 weeks. I am ready to consider adoption. My blessing and prayers are with you and your family. I think any child is lucky to be adopted into a loving home.

Hi there! My husband and I are in the same spot. We are blessed with a beautiful 19 month old son (conceived with IVF) and desperately want another child. I guess we're greedy.

We had a failed IVF cycle in September. I had a hard time dealing with it and decided I couldn't handle another IVF. We tried femera and IUI upon our RE's suggestion and found out today that didn't work.

I'm trying to figure out when to call it quits. I cringe when I think of the obscene amount of money we've spent on infertility, but it makes me sad to accept I'll only have one child.

Some days I think I'm going to loose my mind. The clinic recommended I see a therapist, but I cringe at making YET another appointment and spending even more money.

I'm curious -- what did you decide? Was there anything that helped you with the decision? Maybe just more time?

I hope things worked out for you and your family.

Well,my DH has azoospermia but we got sperm from TESA.We did 3 IVF this year.Each time we put back 2 eight cell embryos and got BFN. I'm going for LAP on the 10th and I think we'll try IVF one more time in january(if we have the $$)How many IVF can I have?My FSH went up to 8.6 from 5.2 in 2006 so I guess I'm geting old.I'm 35.
How do you make a decision?I know I want kids.
