This time...

I'm not planning on going to do injectables. At least for now. If I'm not pregnant a year from now I think I might just give up. I'll be 36 next year and my chances are dimming to get preggers. I took my break...a well needed break. I can't believe I have tried since 2001. I'm going to apologize in advance in case I really get crazy (you know...happy, scared, aggravated and angry all at once - a.k.a. moody!) during my continuing ttc process. I think we'll just try the clomid (again) at first. Then I'll re-check my thinking and see if I truly want to do injectables or not. Steve and I have been there before and it really is stressful because you have to really be monitored on that. If we do injectables I think maybe this time we won't do IUI. I feel really bad when Steve had to get a sample.

Now that I'm getting AF on my own without any help it makes me want to try one more time for a baby. Adoption is so expensive I don't think we'll be able to afford doing that.

I guess we'll see what happens.

I can't imagine what your situation is like Cheryl. I just keep thinking in my heart that you are such a wonderful person and that God will bless you two. I know at times it is hard and you have such a great outlook on everything. Keep strong and do what you feel is right for you and your body

Best wishes Cheryl. Don't worry about being moody. I went through clomid, iui, and progesterone and hcg injections to get pregnant with Zachariah. I totally understand how you might feel. I agree with Roxanna--you are wonderful and I'm praying for God to bless you.

I didn't know you had tried injections, what did you take?

I know that my doctor wouldn't prescribe FSH's (except Clomid) without being monitored every day. Even with Clomid, he monitored closely. It's too risky...

I'm new here and everything, so I do not know your whole story. It sounds like you have it pretty rough. It's never worth giving up on having a baby. My sister just gave birth to a son on June 16 of 2005. Her chances were slim to none to get pg, she has PCOS and only one ovary, but somehow fate touched her life, and now she has a beautiful son. (She is also handicapped and in a wheelchair) I also know a couple who tried for 8 years, and they have twins that are just a few months old. It will happen for you, just hang in there. I've been ttc for about a year and a half, the main goal is to never give up hope. Good luck to you.

Cheryl, I think you are smart to approach this one step at a time. Try Clomid. Hopefully that will work! If it doesn't, then at that time, evaluate what you want and are willing to do. There is no need to say for sure one way or another about injections or IUI right now. Cross those bridges when you get to them, IF you get to them. You may not even have to worry about it.
I have been where you are and I know how all-consuming this process is. It's a tough, stressful, and sometimes agonizing situation to be in. I feel for you.
I'll pray for you and Steve.
