Hi sofabed :)
Just wanted to say hi...know how you feel been trying for 19 months now for no 2...it isn't easy....hang in there!!! It's so hard I know xx
I just wanted to give you some words of comfort - having conceived both your children naturally, you're not infertile. Getting pregnant isn't guaranteed every month, even if you were to conceive every month, which again, isn't guaranteed. It really brings home how much of a miracle every baby is.
Being 40, even in a few years time, doesn't mean that you won't have children beyond that point either. I know a few people who had their first baby in their early 40s, having conceived completely naturally.
My one word of advice is to relax and enjoy the process. Getting stressed and upset - and especially getting your DH stressed - can hinder your efforts, rather than help them. Give yourselves a break... and maybe you'll get a surprise!
I don't know if anybody will be able to advise me on what to do but here I am, with this post.
We are blessed to have 2 beautiful children. Although it took a long time to conceive them (2 years for both of them), we did manage to conceive them naturally. I was taking Clomid before the 2nd child but I got pregnant on the month when I did not take any medication.
We have now been trying for a 3rd child for 3 years (not every month though). I see a Dr who specialises in infertility. After various tests, it appears that there are no problems on my side or my husband side. But still, we don't manage to conceive. Last month, we did an IUI and were so hopeful! And today, eveything collapsed as I started on my periods. I am not sure about what to do next. Do another IUI ? Give up ? I will be 40 in a few years so this is getting me worried as well.
I would be happy to hear from people who suffer(ed) the same problem. Thank you for any advice.
