Trying to Conceive 1 year, 5 months agoSo, I changed insurance’s with my new job…It wasn’t a huge adjustment becuase it was back to the clinic I had for 25 years before going on my husbands 4 years ago. I met with the Dr. for my “semi-new again” patient check up and my main goal was to go over this fertility stuff and to ask if they had any other suggestions for clinics in our…[Read more]

InfertileChickenSoup 1 year, 7 months agoA fit body, makes for a fit & more efficient & fertile uterus. – my quote
I’ve seen many women trying so hard for so long and with about 6-7 weeks of exercise and an improved nutritional intake helped them conceive.

I like this quote. I’ve really been stepping up on my diet in the hopes it will help me conceive. Junk food breeds..nothing! (my quote)

Brilliant.
Dr. James F Clapp III also said ”with exercise and nutrition you can mold the health of your baby”-
I like all of those quotes!

Trying to Conceive 1 year, 7 months agoQuestion for anyone….Will my ob/gyn suffice for a fertility checkup or should I make an appointment with another kind of doctor?
-
You can start with your ob/gyn for your basic blood tests. If you think will end up at a fertility specialist anyways it might be worth having them do all the tests.
-
Thanks Wendy!

-
I would make an appointment with a reproductive endocronologist for a consult. Sometimes talking about your cycle & your medical history helps and they can direct u better than an OB unless the Ob is a fertility specialist too. You can talk to your OB they can maybe do some blood testing but if you really want more answers see a specialist. …[Read more]

Thanks Fran. I will do some research in my area. I don’t want to 6 months to pass and still be no further along than I currently am

No problem, I wouldn’t wait make the appointment so u know now and time doesn’t pass. You can go to Resolve.org for more info & find Dr.’s in your area. Also, if you’re interested in reading more about my journey with infertility check out my webiste http://www.secretinfertility.vpweb.com Thanks!

I would definately go to a fertitility specialist. Turns out if my dr would have been honest with me and told me my husbands numbers were really low…we would have never gone through with the IUI’s. RE’a know what they are doing. RE told us that IUI’s work only 15% of the time. Its ultimately your decision but go with your gut.

Thanks. Seems the fertility specialist is the way to go.

Trying to Conceive 1 year, 7 months agoHi Everyone
I am new here and have been ttc since 2/2011. My question is:
At what point did you start looking into why you aren’t getting pregnant. I’ve read it can take up to a year, but it’s been almost […]
-
Hi Maddy!
it took me awhile to facd the fact that I wasn’t getting pregnant on my own. If your gut is telling you something is not right, I wouldn’t wait. A doctor can at least get started with some basic tests and it might take some stress of worrying off your shoulders.-
Thanks for your response Meghan. I am thinking it’s time to get active here and stop sitting here waiting.

Trying to Conceive: 1 year, 10 months agoAntoinette: If one does “embryo adoption” or open embryo donation, the fees can easily run $13,000 – $18,000. The vast majority of our donors and recipients prefer an anonymous approach which runs about $7,200. The process is not that complex and we do not require a home study or attorney input unless desired by the [...]

Hey Stephanie my husband and I are a month behind you! I have heard what to expect but everyone is different. I hope you can stay positive throughout this entire process…I agree with you about the financial aspect of it! Are you going to freeze some embryos? My husband and I are going to do that so we dont have to go through the entire…[Read more]
Hi Kat!
First, good luck on your journey, I sure hope it proves to be the greatest journey of your lives and that you are able to become parents! That is, why we’re going through all of this right?!
I have been waiting (impatiently!) for a week and a half for the nurse to call and schedule my follow up appointment regarding our bloodwork…[Read more]
Just recieve my blood results, FSH numbers were GREAT!! Off to the Dr. for the follow up next Tuesday to go through the ”game plan”! Getting closer!
Hey Stephanie….how are you doing? haven’t heard an update recently..
Hey Kat! IVF seems to be a hurry up and wait kind of thing! You prepare for it, then you have to do all this blood work, wait for your next cycle etc.! I am currently taking bc pills until next Wed. Next Friday I go in for the final consult, practice transfer and to pay the bill… ugh! That day I start the shot process and we’ll go from…[Read more]
yay…how exciting!! I am due to go in for my bloodwork sometime next week…can’t wait to get the ball rolling. Hoping your body takes the shots well! Keep me posted as your journey continues
Good luck Kat! I sure seems to take a while waiting for the bloodwork then your next cycle! My nerves haven’t been too bad actually until today! Tomorrow is the start (finally!). Wishing you all the best and I hope I can help you through any of my experiences!
Hi Kat! How are things going? Were you able to get in for your bloodwork this week?! I’m sure you’ll get the results soon and that will get your more and more excited! It’s the next 4 weeks waiting for your next cycle to begin that seem to take forever! After taking 16 days of birth control I finally started the follistim injection last…[Read more]

Hi! I’m sorry you had the flu!! Don’t you hate it when your periods late and you start to get your hopes up?! I’m glad you were finally able to get your bloodwork done, it’s one thing to cross of the list right?! It is a waiting game after that which stinks (I know!) but it starts the journey you’ve been waiting for!
