About Me
I'm 30 living in beautiful NE Pennsylvania. I've been very blessed in life w/ a DH of 4 years, great family & friends & our 3 Labrador Retrievers. We've been ttc since November '05 & this is not something I even thought would happen. I wanted to reach out to people like us...I need to hear we aren't alone & there is hope. I'm trying to remain positive. I know that God has a plan for our lives & its not in our time but in his. I feel my faith has been helping me to remain sane during this crazy time.
Interests
Love the outdoors, our dogs, photography, reading, spending time w/ family & friends.

Thank you! I have looked this child over from head to toe, and the ONLY thing that remotely resembles me is her little nose! She is her father's female clone! Nothing like carrying a child for 9 months and birthing her into this world to have her look like someone else! But I obviously love my DH so I can't complain too much about how either of them look... Hope you're feeling well and doing well !!
Hug
Thanks for your support! Best of luck to you!

Close Infertility
My husband & I have been married for 4 years. We have been TTC for 2 1/2 years. It is very frustrating. I am seeing an RE & trying to remain positive. Taking things one day at a time is really helping me a lot on this journey. Infertility can be such an emotional roller coaster! My faith is what is getting me through this!
Treatments
- Adoption Considering
- We are both very open to adoption....
- Artificial Insemination Not Working
- IUI #1 (2/18) failed. IUI#2(3/12)also failed...focusing on staying positive!
- Clomid Somewhat Helpful
- I am ovulating when I'm taking clomid but still no BFP. Progesterone levels are higher. I completed my 6th cycle on Clomid. Taking this med is like being on an emotional roller coaster! The hot flashes are not too pleasant either! I do have to say though after the first few months it gets easier.
- Crying Working / Worked
- It's helping me deal w/ my emotions.
- Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
- ? I know I take this but I thought it was to help for when I do get pregnant.
- Follistim Working / Worked
- Follistim did its job but we just aren't pregnant YET!
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
- I was so scared of this injection with out a reason. I didn't find it to be painful at all. It worked just hasn't resulted in pregnancy YET!
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
- No blockages reported. I was fine right after the test thanks to Advil but as soon as that wore off I was in pain.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
- My results are consistenly the same...negative when I used the over the counter sticks. I recently purchased a First Response Fertility Monitor. I love it! It takes the guess work out of it!
