Hi everyone, this is my first time using this site. My husband and i have been trying for a baby for almost 2 years. im on my 8 course of clomid - 3 a day and still nothing. Im attending Dr. Corr in the Cork Clinic, have had laporoscopys, historoscopys and D&C and still nothing and no reason for it. My husband has also been tested and everything is fine there. Im on my last course of clomid, next is injections. I have booked some accupuncture for next week, i'll try anything at this stage. My problem is i dont ovulate and according to Dr. corr never have. Can anyone give some tips or advice? Between ovulation charts, ovulation tests and pregnancy tests im just totally fed up. I can feel myself getting very depressed lately - especially when everyone you meet is asking about "the patter of tiny feet", if only they knew. i mean lets face it, theres only so many times you can say "all in good time". I have a very supportive husband who loves me to bits but i feel our lives are at a stand still. We've been together for 11 years, another addition is something we've wanted for a long time. any advice is more than welcome. Keep Praying. XXXXXXX
Hi Jojo
There is lots of advise on the site and lots of stories too. I know how hard it is to cope with people asking "questions" and remarking too. They really DON'T understand and never will no matter what. I had shares in pregnancy tests & ovulate tests. I spent a fourtune.
After nearly 4 years my story has a happy ending, we had twins in Feb after going to Spain for treatment. Our second cycle.
I'm happy to share and help other people. We got so much support from family & friends when having are treatment.
It would be people who didn't know made me feel like sreaming, crying and shouting at them all at once...... Ahhhh.
I didn't do accupuncture but some people I know say it really helped them relax. And we all need that when going through this journey. I use to go for reflexology, I love it and would fall asleep within mintues
Not sure were you based but try to go to a NISIG meeting in Cork or ring the helpline. If your really feeling down in the dumps ask the clinic or GP for advise see what they suggest. We went for counselling when we were told I had early menopause. It helped short term. I found going to the Nisig meetings the best support for us. It was like listening to people who were saying what i was thinking. Made me feel like I was not alone. And your are not either.
Take one day at a time and some how you will get through it. (we did and there was times that I thought I wouldn't )
Take care

HI Cats, Thanks for that, i find this website very useful, i dunno how i didn't find it sooner. Its good to share stories with people in the same situation. I mean you can talk all you want to your family and close friends about it but they dont actually know how im feeling. i mean all i can think about all day everyday is babies babies babies....and of course it doesn't help every second person you know is pregnant - including family members. im actually gone to a stage that i cant visit my relations cause i know what there going to be asking, and lets face it theres only so many times a person can say "all in good time"...feeling down in the dumps today
Hope your feeling a bit better by the time your read this.
I use to think like that. I put myself through it all. I still get annoyed. Think because I know so many people in same position as we were.
I use to stop going to my local main shooping centre as there was too many "baby shops". We were down recently on Sat and my hubbie notice how busy it was. I said it was always like this, it was that I couldn't cope going there. As for family gatherings they were very hard. I found that I couldn't excuse my attendance but i would go through HELL.No matter how nice people were trying to be, there was always one or two who would say something STUPID....
The thing is, now that they stopped asking me and moved onto the next couple in the family. You think that after the last few years with us that they would have learnt and understood just alittle. But NO !!!! There awalys 1. I have said it to them they should never ask after what we went through. I felt like punching them.
At the end of the day you have to do what is right for you. So if it's not visiting family for awhile that's it. And they should try & understand.
If you join NISIG you get a newsletter, with more stories and advise. I still look foward to getting it in post.
Hope you have a nice weekend

Hi Cats, feeling more or less the same today, due my period shortly so theres only one thing on my mind. Like you said its hard some days, other days im fine, i could be in great humour but then all of a sudden something happens or i hear of someone else thats pregnant and that just does it for me. i dunno how my hubbie lives with me to be honest. I can see hes feeling it aswell but you know men - they dont really say alot. im heading out to a friend of mine in a while, she has a 5 month old little boy, i dont mind calling to her, shes a close friend and knows my situation. My brother and his wife are expecting their first child, they announced it last week. Of course im happy for them but im just full of jealousy, wondering why do they deserve it and we dont. My parents are thrilled for them but i know their feeling it for me aswell. Ok better get my act together and get sorted for the day.. Have a good weekend cats and i look forward to that news letter.
