Pregnancy Info HOME

Nancy, dh had sperm test run Tueday, really good results, high count and good motility. We did a post-coital exam yesterday and not so good results. I have antibodies against dh sperm. Dr. said plenty of sperm in me but that they were all dead. Dr. turned around this morning and did an IUI. We are asking for prayers that this takes. The reason I got preg in March because that was the first time we were together after being married and I hadn't built up antibodies at that time. I do hope this will be the month. Are you feeling any better?

Kim that is absolutely wonderful! You have answers! You have my prayers that all will go well. I just cannot believe it, now you know what's going on. That is half the battle. I am really floored - wow!! I am doing much better since my last breakdown! OH, my black eyes are better, my nose is healing nicely and I have not run into my bike rack again. A good friend of mine said "it's amazing what lengths you go to in order to give yourself permission to cry". As funny as it sounds, that was very true. Now I am in the mind set that I must lose this weight that I've gained from overeating my pain away. I packed on 15 lbs since I found out that I was pregnant and then had my m/c. Perhaps I should strap my bike to that bike rack and do some riding?! - I am trying to be gentle with myself and allow healing to take place and also be open to whatever is going to be the best for my family - of course my hope is that it will include a beautiful little baby! Again, you of course have my prayers and I look forward to hearing the good news very soon. How does this process work?

Nancy, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. The IUI is a very simple process. (hope that is what you were referring to) Dh had to produce a sperm specimen (at home) and we took it directly to Dr. office. She then checked under microscope first to a__sure sperm count and motility were good then used a large syringe with a fine tube-like end on it and inserted the sperm directly into my cervix. Some Dr. have a piece of lab equipment that spins the sperm or washes the sperm before injecting into the cervix, this makes the sperm much more concentrated. Then they raised my hips and had to relax for about 45 minutes. I then got dressed and went back to work. Thanks for the prayers. I'm glad to hear that your bike rack injuries are healing. I hope that heart is healing also.

Hey Kim - Anything yet?!! I am so praying and hoping for you! Please let me know when you hear anything ;o]

I am 42 and will be 43 when I deliver. I am due April 20, 2006. I have two boys from a previous marriage, ages 12 & 15. They will be 13 and 16 when this baby arrives. I am having a girl. I, too, worry constantly about whether the baby is healthy. I pray every day for the best. I try to eat right and get exercise. I try to avoid stress but that is not easy. I work full time and am a full time mother of two. I have my good days and I have my bad days but I am happy that God has blessed me with this precious gift. I pray that I will have a happy and healthy baby. I cannot worry about things I cannot control. All I can do is try my best to do the right things and hopefully all will be well. Take care. :-)

Congratulations Stacey_E. I wish you the best with your new little one. Thank you for sharing with us, it gives us hope.

Nancy, I tested yesterday and BFP. It was way too early (dpo8) but I'm getting too excited. I will wait until Wed. morning to test again. I'll keep you posted. Are you doing okay? Back to ttc yet? I pray that everything is good.

Nancy, sorry - I said BFP in previous post. I meant BFN. Is that a fraudian slip or what.

HA! Oh Kim, I think you are just getting use to saying & writing BFP! You are so use to saying and writing BFN that maybe your baby is helping you out - or maybe your body knows something you don't know yet! I will pray like I've never prayed before and when Wednesday comes....you will be use to saying and writing BFP - BFP - BFP!! I'm doing well, no af yet. It will be 6 weeks post d&c on Monday. Dr wanted us to wait one cycle before trying - he actually said to wait 6 weeks, but I'm sure he meant to wait until af arrives and leaves. I wish it would already have come, I was rather hoping that it would come at 4 weeks - which then would be like a regular cycle, so now that it hasn't of course my head is saying "oh, you must be going through the change of life, or your now too old and your cycles are going to be so irregular...blah, blah, blah!" - My heart knows that the truth is if it trully is meant to be it will. If I do what I am supose to do, which is the action - bd with hubby, take my vits, eat right, take care of myself, etc., and leave the outcome up to God - then if we are supose to have another baby, we will. I even started to think "oh, what if I am pregnant now?" - but we only bd 2x's without protection since the d&c - so I think it's just that wishful thinking and hoping. We'll see! Thanks for keeping me posted I really am keeping you in my prayers and hope that this is the one - I really do mean that Kim. Again - practice - BFP, BFP, BFP ;o]

Hi everyone, I am 39 an just now trying to get pregnant with my third child. I do require help by taking clomid which is how I got pregnant the first time. I too am nervous becasue of my age but I am not ready to move into the 2nd stage of life yet. Congrats to all and prayers for healthy babies.

Welcome Emilie. 39 was when I had my first. A great age. He is 6 yrs old and and a very healthy and smart child. Keep trying. Nancy, I tested this a.m. and a BFN. I still think it is a bit early. I am still noticing some symptoms, so continue to pray for us. Hope you are doing well.

KimK, Nancy, Stacey_E and Emilie - Have any of you had high FSH levels? My OB said mine is 23.8 which categorizes me as perimenopausal. I'm still hopeful but want to be realistic.

The waiting game is the hardest, Kim and I will continue to keep you in my prayers, BFP, BFP!! I remember taking three and getting BFN then after another week - BFP with my son! (((wannabeamom))) Yes, I had high FSH levels - they were around 19 I think, but I was able to get pregnant. When my dr told me that mine were high, he then recommended I see a fertility specialist. We did not because of insurance reasons. I have heard that it can be high one month and regular the next. My personal belief is that if the baby is welcomed and meant to come to you, then he/she will - high fsh or not. That same dr told me of a women who had chemo and at 47 became preg and had a healthy baby. Keep us posted and don't let the numbers scare you - it only takes ONE healthy egg!

Nancy, I noticed some slight brown cm this morning. Have you heard of implantation at 14 dpo? I tested again this a.m. and BFN. I can't believe that I am starting to spot this early for af. AF is not expected until Sunday. Saturday would be cd24 and that is the smallest cd I have ever had. I just know it is baby(s) implanting. I want to believe that. I had a dream last night of a tiny face with a tail and two limbs that disappeared into something that looked like tissue or carpet. (like an embryo implanting) I know - weird, but I just wonder if it isn't God's way of trying to keep our mind on the positive side. I'll keep you posted. Please pray for us!!

I wish you luck. I am 42, newly maried (6 months) and were trying to get pregnant.

Kim - I was reading your last post and I swear the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stood up! I am sitting here writting this and getting all these goose-bumps. I hope and pray that this is the one for you and hubby. I don't think dpo is too long - it takes a while for the implantation blood to expel from your body after the whole process meeting up with the egg, entering the egg and the journey up the tube - and if it's brownish (not red) then that means it is old blood. So....don't get caught up in the numbers - trust your intuition, trust your heart, your dream is wonderful I had a dream too, my husband was holding three babies and I told him that we could only keep one and we would know which one it was by the way it felt. Then I touched them and picked out one of them. I had two losses then came Joshua! So I would say to you.. wash your baby blankets, get the diapers ready and know that you are being prayed for. Honestly, you are being prayed for!!
