Help-I'm Just Sooo Frustrated and Feel Helpless

I went thru the same as you. My dr had me up to 200 mg of clomid and still nothing, then he sent me to the high risk drs at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn. They put me up to 250 mg of the clomid which started giving me awful headaches and I couldnt even work. I was taken off that and given two choices of what to do next. We chose follistim which was an injection I gave myself. I did one cycle of that and had 6 eggs that were mature (you are watched VERY CLOSELY). Then they did a test and found that my cervical fluid was acidy. Given two choices again and we chose artificial insemination (this is about 2 yrs of trying now) and I got pregnant, with triplets. They are now 5 yrs old. The fertility specialists and high risk drs at Oakwood are wonderful. I know it gets really frustraiting with people telling you to relax and it will happen. You just want to choke them. The triplets are very trying daily but I would much rather have the 3 of them then nothing which is what I would have if I didn't have the fertility treatments. I wish you all the luck in the world. I would talk to your dr about sending you to the fertility specailists at Oakwood. Good Luck!

I wish you fertility!!!!

Hi A.,
I can really relate to you. My husband and I have also been trying to have another baby too. My son is 2 years old, and he is such a joy to have, But we tried for 6 years before I got pregnant with my Marshall. I had and did everything you done, I was on the clomid, I also something else that I had to insert): not fun but nothing worked. Then out of the blue (after we stopped tring) here comes Mr. Man. We have been trying since my son was about 6 months and no luck yet. My husband wants me to go back to the doctors but it's really hard on me and every month gets harder when I have my period. I can't talk to my friends because they all have 2 or 3 kids or are pregnant now so I'm just hoping something happens like last time. I plan on going back to the doctors but I was poked, pulled and looked at so many times, I just don't know what to do. The only thing I can tell you is to hold on and keep trying. It will get very frustrating at times and you feel like you are the only person that this happens too, but you aren't. There are people out here that knows how frustrated you are, I am one of them.
P.S.
Got any tips???

I can totally understand what you are feeling. It took my husband and I five years to conceive our first child. It is not easy and it is very hard to see people around you getting pregnant with no problem at all. My sister in law is going through something similar to you but is trying for number 1. She did not have regular periods on her own either so she is now trying acupuncture. She said there is material out on the web about it. She has gotten her period on her own doing this so she is hoping this will help. I wish I could help you and say one thing will work and I know that when people say relax that just isn't going to happen!! :) :) Hang in there!!! Hope you find something that does work

I know exactly what you are going through, it took us 2 years to get pregnant with my son and I am terrified of how long it will take for our next child. All your feelings are completly valid! Have you seen a Fertility Specialist yet? I ended up going to him after the clomid didn't work for a while. He suggested laproscopic surgery to check everything more closely than the hysterosalpingogram which we did, then put me on a drug called "femera" which is actually for breast cancer but has been effective in treating infertility. About 3 months after I started going to him I finally got pregnant. The strange thing about it is that the doctor told me that for some "unknown" reason, after the laproscopic surgery many women become pregnant within the first four to five months...so we are not really sure if it was the femera that helped, but it may be worth a try. And....I know how hard this is, but you do need to relax, but I hated when people told me that too! If you need to chat, or want the doctors info, let me know....and hang in there!
