Pregnancy Info HOME

For you ladies who have lost little ones, check out the song "Glory Baby" by Watermark. Music can be so comforting.

Well today was the day that the ovulation calendar shows I could test and get a BFP if I did get pregnant this month so of course I woke up at 3am then 4am then 6am and finally 8am and I tested at 8am using the early detect and got a BFN. It's still 2 or 3 more days before AF is supposed to arrive so I'm hoping that it's just still too early for the test but it's so heartbreaking. I told myself not to stress out about it and if it didn't happen this month that I would be ok because it might take a while and I really thought that I would be ok. But I just climbed back in bed and cried and felt crushed. I did everything that I could possibly do. I started the prenatal vitamins a month ago and cut back on caffeine and charted my ovulation and used the ovulation kits to ensure that I was actually ovulating which I did on the 18th. We ttc'd the week of ovulation and the day after ovulation just for good luck. I know that I can get pregnant because it's happened twice before but I'm worried now that my one and only working fallopian tube might have been damaged during the surgery. I know that there was plenty of sperm in there when I ovulated... poor DH went the extra mile to make sure. I'm sorry for the pitty party but what is wrong with us? It seems like any and everyone around us can drink a cup of water and get pregnant but we can't. It's just such a difficult thing to deal with. I had started to feel more comfortable around pregnant women and their babies and hearing people brag about their babies because I knew that I would be joining their club soon but when I saw that BFN this morning I don't know how to explain it but I really do think that I'll end up a bitter person if I'm not able to have a child. I really can not imagine ever being happy if this doesn't happen for me. How much do we have to go through and how much more broken and beaten down do we have to be before something positive happens? I feel like I'm always the negative one so I do apologize. I'm just having a hard time understanding this. Thanks for reading... KB

Hello everyone. KB I know exactly how you feel that is how I felt the last 2 times I got a BFN after my surgery. Keep your head up. I try to sound positive but when the test came back negative the last time I freaked out. I was eating healthier, taking prenantal vitamins, ttc the times the ovulation calendar said and still nothing. I have a friend who has a daughter and is going to ttc this month and without a doubt I know she will be pregnant by the 1st or 2nd try. It's just so frustrating to see people with children who don't even want them and here we are just hoping for one in our lifetime. The only thing I can tell myself to keep sain is God has sdomething big in store for me/us. We don't know everything maybe my body is not strong enough to hold a pregnancy who knows. KB, I know it is hard, especially when things don't come out like how we want. However, until you get your period there is always a chance you are pregnant. Like I posted earlier, I have decided to stop trying.... no more calendars, no ovulation strips nothing. I got pregnant the last time when I gave up and put it in God's hands and this time will be no different. God Blessings to all those pregnant and thos eof us who are ttc.

I know exactly how you feel! I had SIX follicles that all ovulated, SIX...and am not pregnant. I dont understand how just one didnt make it? We were praying so hard that we wouldnt have 6, but we dont even have 1. It's even worse that the trigger shot and progerserone that I am on makes me feel pregnant (cravings, peeing every 2 hours, nausiated...), A girl I work with was trying to wait to have s_x until she got married but messed up one night-but he didnt even finish...he pulled out because they felt guilty. They didnt do it before that and they didnt do it after that...but she was 4 months pregnant on her wedding day. WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!?!? We had so much s_x last month it was insane! My Dr wanted to keep doing this same thing for 3 months, but my hubby and I decided to go on with an IUI this month instead of wasting $$ for 2 more months and then doing the IUI anyway. Plus, I dont want to be on hormones for too many more months with my history of a blood clot and fibroids-it just makes me nervous! I should be getting new insurance in Jan, so hopefully infertility will be covered-but really I hope to not need it by then!!!

I requested that an HSG be performed just to make sure that my one and only tube was not damaged during the myomectomy in June. My dr initially said just wait til June 09 (a full year) and if no pregnancy by then we could do the HSG but I just don't want to wait that long so he agreed to request one now. Some days I don't know if I should be so persistent and maybe just wait and keep trying before requesting additional test but on other days I feel like this is my body and I know it better than anyone else and if I have an inclination that somethings not right then I have to speak up and go with that thought. I didn't speak up before but I'm determined to do my part this time. Ultimately I can't force a pregnancy to occur but I'm going to take a proactive approach just because I can't handle sitting around waiting and not doing anything. Stupid AF showed up yesterday so the HSG will be scheduled in about 11 days. At least then I will know for sure that my tube is still open. Did anyone else have an HSG 4 months after myomectomy?

KKMS I am shocked to have read what I did. I know exactly how you feel. I can't believe they didn't even finish and she is pregnant. I just have to laugh. LOL. Not only do we try on those days but I lay in bed anywhere from 20 minutes to trying to fall asleep just so I can keep the s____n inside. Sorry if it's to much infomation. Like I said my husband and I didn't follow the schedule (baby making schedule). I didn't buy the ovulation tests, I didn't follow the calendars we just made love when we felt the time was right. I've noticed... again sorry if it's to much information. However, I noticed if you take the trying out of s_x... s_x is more enjoyable. I let nature take it's course. I read that during ovulation your s_x drive will become more intense. Sure enough that is what happened so hopefully I will become pregnant. If I don't then I don't. I noticed I was living my life to get pregnant not living my life to it's fulliest potential. Like they say it always happens when you least expect. KKMs sorry to hear your not pregnant but your time will come soon. KB, I was considering asking for an HSG I am going to wait. However, let us know how is goes. God bless to all trying and all pregnant.

KB, I had an HSG exam about 4 months after my myo. My myo was a year ago, 10/4, and my HSG was in Feb. Not only did I not have any scarring, but we got pregnant the next month. I'm sure you've heard about the HSG clearing up some blockages and increasing fertility for a few months afterwards. Good luck! Healing.

Hi every one - KB I totaly understand how you feel. I am so about to give up myself. I never thought I would say this but it is so frustating to be waiting month after month only to have unwanted AF show up. I am on my second month of clomad and it is not helping because AF showeed up again today so I have to call my Dr and see what she says. I dont think i wanna go for the third round of clomaid without knowing more about whats going on so I think I am going to ask for HSG. I had an utrasound yesterday so we will see what it say in a couple of days. I am so disheartened. Am I ever gonna be a mother ?--Sasha where are you? I hope you are okay

hello everyone. i'm new. first of all, i'm glad such a forum exists. i've read many peoples' stories and i have a feeling i have a long road ahead of me. i'm 36 years old, live in columbus ohio, just diagnosed with fibroids 3 weeks ago, don't have any children, but will definitely try after my surgery. life's been a whirlwind the last 3 weeks. ever since the diagnosis, i had daily pity parties and cried for an entire week, but i'm ready to fight. i question everything (that's my nature) so i went thru 5 opinions before deciding on a doctor. i'm glad i did. 1st GYN suggested hysterectomy! (that was the first opinion i received, and that made me cry in despair for 1 week straight). 2nd GYN said "do nothing... it's no big deal". 3rd GYN suggested Lupron for starters (upon research, i realize any doctor that suggests this is not a skilled doctor -- i'll write more on this later), 4th GYN said two separate surgeries (hysteroscopic resection, and then a myo), and FINALLY, my 5th GYN said what i wanted to hear. i will post more later, but one thing i wanted to suggest to those on this forum is (especially if you haven't had your surgery yet), please question EVERYTHING your doctor says... if something doesn't make sense or just doens't "sit right", challange what they are saying. i'm glad i found this site... i'll be back later with questions... thanks for reading!

Welcome aboard JuJuBe. I am looking forward to reading your extended post. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I have. I am glad you already know to check and double check what the doctors say. One of the doctors I met with before my surgery did an external exam and said he would do my surgery. I asked if he was going to do an ultrasound and he said no. I thought that was strange. Even though I had fibroids that didn't come up during my ultrasound I just felt that he should've taken the extra step. I am 27 (Just turned 27 on October 1st) and I want to have children in the future so I needed someone who understood that. Jasp I was thinking about you this morning. I realized God wouldn't give us more than we could handle. There is a reason why I lost my child. There is a reason why we had the surgery and there is a reason why some of us haven't gotten pregnant yet. We have to be patient. After lasts month of disappointment and heartache after AF arrived I realized when my body is ready to carry a child it will. I am not saying not to be determined. But I am saying to LET GO and LET GOD. Never Give up and always keep the faith. God Bless.

I had my HSG this morning and it showed that now both tubes are blocked. I am devastated. I don't know what my options are as the test was performed at the hospital by a specialist. I have an appointment to discuss the results with my dr. on Monday. He once told me that operating on the tubes was always his absolute last resort because that drastically reduces the chances so I just feel hopeless right now.

KB I am so sorry. Don't give up the battle is not yours it's the Lords. I can't imagine what you are going through right now but keep the faith. Your child is waiting. The child that you are destined to have is waiting. Continue to pray and keep the face. See what the doctor says on Monday. It could be something that surgery can repair (God willing). Just know that we all are praying for you. God Bless.

I'm just wondering if anyone here is currently ttc through IVF? I was basically given 2 options today after meeting with my dr. to discuss the HSG results. He has referred me to a specialist who will insert some type of ballon to attempt to open the one tube and if that doesn't work then he said that IVF is the only other option. I already know that my insurance doesn't pay for this so I'm wondering what options are out there in regards to payment for IVF. I'm kind of in shock... I've had 2 pregnancies both resulting in a loss and now I'm being told that I'm infertile due to my tubes? I really don't get it?

Hello all. AF came on time this month. I am sad that it came but happy that I didn't have the extra days to hope I was pregnant. I guess back to the drawing board for me LOL. God Bless.

We are doing an IUI today. I have 1 BIG egg and 3 or 4 that are almost the right size. So, we are hopeful and are praying hard right now!!!

Hi Im new here in July 2007 I had my 3rd mc. I found out in Janurary that my fibroids had got bigger and were in the uterus. So I had them removed in April. The doctor said I had to wait 6 months. I went to the fertility doctor at the beginng of this month and he reminded that there could be uterus complications from the surgery. Which is concerning my DH. Has anyone who has gotten pregnant had any complications after having a myomectomy. I am going to be starting clomid on Saturday.
