Thankx for your advice.
Hi everyone,
thank you for you replies. im hopeful for a fresh start this month, weve been told that with me having two children already we wont get any help with fertility treatment but we will beable to be tested to see whats the problem after a full year of trying.
for us, any IVF will be about 5000 pounds. i think id rather adopt and give another child the life and love mine have.

Okay- so not sure if that made sense. Let me clarify - we got married in the summer of 2004 and started trying RIGHT away to get pregnant. We tried for a year with no luck and then did the candida/yeast control thing and got pregnant, but I miscarried at 6 weeks - in August 2005. We kept seeing doctors and trying to get pregnant with no luck after that. In 2009 we adopted our little boy. In February 2011 I was finally able to get pregnant thanks to IVF with ICSI. So ... a long seven years. But worth every agonizing heartbreaking wait!!
Yes. Okay - well here's our story. We had been ttc for a year when I got pregnant, but it ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks. Everyone told me "this is great news. It means you'll be able to get pregnant on your own and you'll be pregnant again before you know it." BUT ... that wasn't the case. We actually DID see doctors for the entire seven years of ttc. Just not the RIGHT doctor. (We had some pretty awful experiences with some doctors until we found our current RE, who is amazing.)
About three years ago, after a LOT of frustration with doctors and my health issues, we decided to give the fertility stuff a break and go the adoption route. We are SO grateful we did!! We were able to adopt our infant son two years ago and he will be two in September. He is the BIGGEST blessing and hugest joy in our lives!!
When he was almost a year and a half old, both my husband and I started to get a strong feeling like we should try, yet AGAIN, to get pregnant. Luckily, this time, we were referred to our current RE who is one of the top fertility doctors in the country. Our first round of IVF didn't work, but our second - our frozen cycle - DID work and now I am miraculously 24 weeks pregnant!
So ... BOTH of our kids are miracles (I know that every baby is, but really, both of ours REALLY feel like it to us!!).
To answer your question: this last time we did IVF with ICSI. I highly recommend doing ICSI for any couple who's partner has low sperm counts. But I know that it's really expensive. Our clinic here has the Attain IVF program, which we did and we're grateful for that. REALLY helped out with the costs and stress of it all!
But also, the time we DID get pregnant on our own (six years ago - when I miscarried), both my husband and I had gone on a strict eating plan to control candida/yeast. Which meant no sugar, white flour, etc. And that had a HUGE affect on our health and we think it's why we were able to get pregnant on our own.
Anyway - long story. But I figured I should tell it all to you!
Best of luck to everyone here! And lots of love and hugs! :)

ok, so what your hubby did to boost his counts? no we didnt see any fertility dr, yet. also its very xpensive to go through.he is now taking fertility blend for men, somebody sugg on this site for me, we got that from GNC $40. however, we hav some prob relationship so we wait for a whole new restart. so you are ttc for your 1st? for 7 years? well, i would really go to see a dr. if i was ttc for our 1st one.
AHHH... baby dancing! Got it! I always thought it meant "boogie down!" Ha! But ... same thing, right? ;)
Yes - I agree that you should have your partner tested too. My husband also had low counts. Which means we both had fertility issues.
And doctors dont' consider you technically "infertile" until you have been trying for at least a year. Although I know that, when you want to get pregnant so badly, that year can be excruciating. We had seven of "those years." I completely empathize!

LOL ok ladies BD means "Baby Dancing" ( sex). ya just keep trying for atleast 7 months then go to see dr. most fertility drz wont see clients till 1 year, also if no luck, then you need to have a sperm analysis on your partner. we did on our 7th month n found out that my hubby hav low counts. now skipping few months to get rid off some stress/prob then wen we get fresh we will start again. also, the dr said hving sex every day/ every time (more than once a day) might cause low production of sperms. so ya do it every other day. :) Good Luck:)
I'd say that if you keep trying for a few more months and still don't have results, then go see a doctor. And have both you and your partner tested. We tried for seven years to conceive before finally seeing the RIGHT doctor (our wonderful RE who got us pregnant via IVF) and I wish we would have met him sooner. GOOD LUCK to you!! (PS - Im' always wondering what BD means too!)
Weve been having BD (im not sure what BD means but im guessing its something to do with making love) the days leading up to ovulation and also the following days afterwards.
we are going to try making love every two days, and on the day of ovulation and then back to every two days this month, and for me to keep laid down, hips raised this time.
thanks for your advice :)

are you missing the window of opportunity? have BD within 24 hrs after you get your + OPK, dont get up right after BD just relax n clam lay down for atlest 30 mts, you can elevate your bottom by a pillow, most couple choose "missionary position".also you could have BD every other day. Hope it hellps :) Good Luck:) n hey, 4 months r just nothing, usually it takes an average couple to get preg for a year, so no need to worry, keep trying n have fun :)
