Forum: Step Parenting with infertility issues

Hi I am new but i think I have found the perfect safe haven for me. I have been with my husband for ten years-dated for three and married for seven. At first it didnt bother me that he has a little girl. My step daughter is now 13 and I now that we are ttc...i cant stand to look at her. She...

Hello Everyone, I usually post on the High FSH/DOR boared but stumbled upon this boared and wanted to say hi. It doesn't look like there is too much activity over here. I have a wonderful almost 6 year old Step Son who I love and adore like my own. I have been with his dad since he was 3 and we...

i'm 39 years old, fragile x pre-mutation carrier of 120 repeats. Having difficulty with getting stimulation to do pgd and ivf. Anyone with similar circumstances that have had success? would love to know your protocol. thanks!

Hello Ladies, I have not checked in a long while. However, I am always thinking about how wonderful this forum was for me during my infertility treatments and my visits from my step daughter. I moved from San Diego, CA to Atlanta, GA in 2004. It was sad to hear about Raz. It was good to see...

Any one else out there want to hold hands through the holidays with skids, IF, and/or pg? I desperately need some sort of support club to cheer each other on & to have shoulders to cry on & ears to bemoan to. Anyone else wanna join?

I just wanted to see if I could still log in as "davesgirl" and I can, as you can see, but the last time I logged in as "davesgirl" was July 8TH,2006... almost a year to the day! LOL weird! (today is the 9th!) Hope everyone has a great week! :)

Raz (a.k.a. Jessie Peterson) died at the age of 40 last month in a horrible car crash. I had no idea, we're such a scattered group now, most of us probably check in a couple of times a year. This is just so incredibly sad. I'll post the links to a newspaper article on what happened as well as...

Having posted on here often almost 10 years ago, and checked in many times though out the years.... I thought it might be neat to have a place to summarize our thought on our Step Parenting and IF Journey. Maybe some of the other long timers will pop in and add their thoughts too... Brief...

I am a step parent to 3 boys and am now undergoing IUI treatments. This has been a 3 year sturuggle for my husband and I. It is starting to cause serious strain on our marriage. Is anyone else having these issues? I need advise....

So...I met my soon to be fiance about a 1.5 years ago, she gave me the full run down; early 20's, pregnant by mistake from a man she didnt want to be with but married said dead beat because she didnt want to raise the youngster alone and abortion was out of the question, divorce occurred within 5...

So, who's around? How are the skids? how's the eo, still an eo? At the advice of her mom my sd (18) dropped out of college after 4 weeks, no refund on the $1k that was paid. She moved out of the house, got kicked out of her place with her roomates, moved in with her boyfriend, went from...

I want to know how you're doing!! Come on everyone, update. Trainerlady, Sym are you even still around? We all know who we are. update update update! Nothing new for me. Sd graduated in June, no more contact with her mom. Sd is on a downward spiral, living at home, partying until 3am ...

Hi all! I am 34 years old and I have an 11 year old stepson who attends the school where I teach. I look after him...usually do homework with him and take him home and he comes to our house often. I have endometriosis and PCOS. We are TTC our first and just began the IVF process...just wanted to...

Hi, I'm new to this board and have been feeling a bit alone because I've been ttc for almost 2 years but my husband is ambivalent about it because he already has a 15 yr old daughter with his ex wife who turned out to be horrible (the daughter). She told him to "F*** Off" almost 2 yrs ago, went to...

I have my info, NL's info, HeatherKnight, and HollyJoyous. If you want to have us have your email, and or any other info, to be able to reach you aside from FT, please email me asap. It has obviously been a long time since I have been here, and likely longer till I am back, unless to check on...

I'm wishing I could go to Hawaii or Grenada or someplace warm - I'm so sick of the cold weather & snow... Anyway, just a quick hello... It looks as if this board is very very slow lately... That is sad, it used to be so much more active... I know there are still a lot of people dealing...

Hey yall. HJ and I talk every now and then on myspce, so, she knows a little of what’s been going on w/ me. I post blogs and such about all the drama in my life, so, I’m pretty sure she gets a kick out of it and has a pretty good idea of what I’ve been going through. I’ve decided to give...

Sharing E-mail addresses & contact info.... I was thinking of gathering emails from the oldies and distributing them amongst us in case a) some people move on from FT (as I might soon), and b) some things you'd like to share with FT friends, but not necessarily the www. I know most...

:D 1.) AF 2.) E-mails 1.) Well AF? decided to arrive, although 23 days late. Needless to say, she brought some massive pain with her. I guess 7 weeks of uterine tissue build up HURTS LIKE HELL! Ugh! But at least she is here. I wonder if that means that 1.6cm follicle? is now an egg and has...

I had the outer and inner US's today. The outer showed a speck. The inner showed a follicle/cyst measuring 1.6cm. The good news is, they don't rupture at 1.6cm...as all IFers know, but the bad news is, the amount of pain is disproportionate to the size of the cyst. Which means...something...

same as posted underneath..."Another Dx. please" thread. _________________________________________________________________ Walk In Clinic Update......... It's funny that I wrote.......................Thanks for the kick in the butt and the well (pg) wishes....but we all know it is just...

2w ago I wrote here I am PG!! as a title...just for fun...to liven up the board a bit. Well, lo and behold I take an HPT yesterday....not pg, but funny as heck when you think of it :tongue: When I wrote the original tilte 2w ago (and then deleted it for sensitivity reasons) I was due for AF....

I hope everything goes well with your appt. You are right in going to a DR to check it out. The crappiest thing about IF is that every symptom that we analyze truly is a symptom of pregnancy, AND a possible symptom of something wrong. Symptoms should be either PG or IF, NOT both. I was always...

I'm always afraid to post anything related to children or pregnancy over here because I know that not everyone knows me as well as the "oldies" on here. I certainly would not want to turn a newbie away by talking about such matters. I know you all know, though, that when I do post about such...

After swearing I would ndver let him near any vehicle of mine, I let him (and his new attitude) drive my Avalanche. I even let him drive ME in my Avalanche! Poor curbs! And poor bugger that made him miss the advanced green light at the corner too! - lol Overall he was safe and carefull. He...
