Always take care if health.

I just wanted to share that despite being diagnosed with POF and Diminished Ovarian Reserve only FOUR months ago, I got the official BFP!!!!
6 preg tests and several blood tests from the Dr. I can't believe it!

I want to share my blog with those of you who haven't read it, as it goes through all the alternative supplements and treatments I did that completely turned my diagnosis around. In January my FSH was 133, was told I was POST menopausal and was given the Donor Egg speech ...

I know I have not posted for a while, however things have been still sort of progressing, albeit slowly. As the three unsuccessful attempts on clomid with TI did not work for us, we managed to see an RE in mid-November to see what else is out there. He made me do all sorts of tests! Starting with SIS in December, which was ok, and full blood test. Hypothyroidism was uncovered and I have been on Levothyroxine ever since (and retested, dose increased). All other hormones appeared ok, had prolactin ...

Back in January a specialist told me the only way I could have a child was through In-vitro. Soon after he sent me to the office of his financial advisor for my counseling of the costs included with the procedure. I sat there completely stunned not hearing one word of the thousands of dollars I would need for the entire process. I just couldn’t grasp the idea I couldn’t have my own child. All I could think about was the lifetime I’ve had of dreaming of one day holding my little baby in my arms. ...

But everytime I see a new baby I get depressed. I looked into IVF but I'm on disability so it's out of my reach. I just don't know what to do.

Hi,
I recently just underwent my first IVF treatment which was unsuccessful. It did, however, leave me 6 frozen embryos. I plan on doing an FET next month. Has anyone had success with that? How long did you wait to do one after a fresh cycle? My doctor said I can start as soon as I get AF after the failed IVF cycle. I am just so disappointed with my failed IVF cycle and am hoping a frozen cycle will work. I have borderline diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and am 33 years old.

For my peeps who are also stuck on the infertility treatment ladder/rollercoaster:

I am proud to say that I am already a mother. I just haven't met my child yet. I have already been a mother to five beautiful embryos, celebrated their blessed creation and each intricate cell division, and mourned the losses when each decided that he or she was unable to stay on this Earth. I am a nurturer, a caregiver, and a role model for the many children in my life (none of whom happen to be ...

Aloha all - Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful group. I'm currently going through the FET. Scheduled for May 22, 2013 and I'm looking for tips and suggestions to help this work. I know I'm supposed to be relaxed and stress free but it's very difficult with work and dealing with this whole procedure. Any suggestions on how to relax when your mind is always on baby and hoping that everything will be okay.

Here's my story... We did the IVF last March and on the ...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. Im Ashley, Im 27 and about a week ago my Doctor told me she believes I have POF, after my FSH came back at 107 mU/mil. I want nothing more than to have a biological child with my new husband and I am completely devestated. My OBGYN referred me to a RE however my insurance doesnt cover the cost AT ALL! Im not sure I can even afford the $210 consultation fee much less all the testing they are gonna want to do! Im thinking about trying Ancient ...

*Warning may be TMI*

Well, I tried Pre-seed for the first time this week. For those of you who are not aware of what it is, it is a fertility friendly lubricant that can be used during BDing. It is reported that KY and other lubs can kill sperm and should not be used while TTC.

It comes it a tube with several applicators and is found at Walgreens, CVS, Target, and online (Amazon). It will run you a little over $20 at each location.

So the ...
