Never been pregnant

Anyone that has never been pregnant (no chemical/ectopic preg, no miscarriages; genuinely never been pregnant) and then got pregnant? What medical issues were diagnosed as the cause and what helped you finally conceive?

I am 40 never been pregnant, never used the pill and we have been trying to for 5months. I don't want to go to the doctor either. I'm scared too,I think I'd take it...badly if I ever found out I couldn't have babies...

I am actually now waiting for the dreaded period to come..today. Each hour I don't get them is so hard. I have cramps but that's it...I want this so bad. it's so heart breaking every damn month...

It's a scary process to go through, but if you don't start looking into these things now it could be a lot longer before you bring home your baby.  I would have your bf go to the dr. to get a SA (Sperm Analysis) because it's easier than what they'll have you do and go from there. Wishing you the best.

I am with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mn.  I don't know all what procedures or what all it covers as far as infertility.  I will have to look more into it the longer it takes me to concieve.

What insuarance carrier do you have that covered your treatments? Unfortunately, I have Tricare through the military and I do not believe that they cover anything past injections, ie. IUI or IVF. With us being overseas & a poor exchange rate things will be very expensive here.

Good luck to you

Thank you, it was hard for the day trying to understand but knowing that one of my babies had to go for the other to survive was enough knowing that one had!!

so far with our testing and with the IUI and the IVF were somewhere around 25 thousand but i am blessed with one of the few insurances that covers infertility so we have paid only about 1200 or so....this was our last shot though and we ended up with a positive so we are truly blessed all around!!!!

well after my miscarriage finally stops, then we'll wait for one AF to arrive then go back to injectables and IUI.. we were on our last IUI  and supposed to do IVF that next month but even though all the dr's said we wouldn t'get preg without IVF since insurance decided they would'nt pay for it after all and i was on cd2 the day of my IVF consult my RE wanted to give a "test run" for the injectables to see if i overstimulate/understimulate etc... thats when we got preg, i had given up all hope!    so we'll take a month off and try not to think about it much then back to the grind!! If we got preg then anything is possible!

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby. That has to be so hard after all you went through to get pregnant. I wish you nothing but good health to you & your little 9 week old. You give me hope.

I'm 32 (DH 42) and also have never been prego.  On BC for 12 years and went off 7/06.  Waited a few months to TTC (had to get Chicken Pox vac and couldn't try).  We have TTC for 2 years to no avail.  I have my first appt with an RE in October and am trying to get DH in for s/a before that.
