A Bad Day

[traync]

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to MedHelp, I got the news that none of us wants to hear in March of this year "chance of infertility" Just to tell you a little about my situation I just turned 37 & just went in to see a RE as a precaution, never even thought I would have a problem (I had just really started TTC). So when I went in for the results and he gave me the speech about my chances being slim, using donor eggs, IVF, etc....I was shocked & heartbroken. Basically I have one partially blocked tube, a FSH of 12.5 and reoccurring fibroids.

Since then I have tried to stay positive and this site has helped me so much. I have only told a few people, I am a very personal person & really don't want everyone in my business. So having this site has been a godsend. Since March I have tried to keep my head up and stay positive. But as many of you know some days are hard, and today I am having a hard one. What is so funny, even though I am so happy for them, hearing that another 40+ celebrity is pregnant every other day is not helping.  It seems like it is just another thing to remind me of my situation.

I know I am really new to this & I have been reading how some women have been trying for years. I really want to thank many of you for your strength....it give me hope :)

I am really trying to stay positive, I should hear something soon.

Thanks,

Hope you are feeling better!! Just a 'chance' of infertility doesn't sound like they know very much yet. I would be very surprised if you didn't find some more positive results with the next round of tests. And if you don't, there are a million things that can be done to get you pregnant. Stay positive and keep in touch.
Hugs,
Chelsea

I just had my follow-up blood work done today to test my FSH, Estrogen level (e2) & AMH so I am being positive that these test results will be better than the test I had done in March. Thanx for all the postive feedback.

i just found out a friend of mine who was told he and his partner couldn't have kids is now a father to a 3 month old son, his partner had IVF and things with her previous partner and failed everytime so they were shocked when they found out she was pregnant as he was told he would never be able to father a child he's 38 years old and she is the same.

I have been told i have blocked tubes, twisted right tube and mild endometriosis on the right tube i was devastated but their is still a slim chance i will conceive on my own otherwise i'm going to need IVF i'm only 24 years old so it was a bit of a shock.

Doctors aren't always 100% correct in a lot of things they say, don't give up hope and enjoy ttc and hopefully one day you'll have your little miracle in your arms

Hang in there. I know its hard. My DH and I tried for 1 year and went to an RE of course I had a slew of testing completed to find out I am fine. he had 3 SA's completed, and we found out his little soldier's have motility and morph problems. We are now in 2.5 yrs and still not sucess. We have 2 failed IUI's, I have 5 days post IVF transfer, and am sitting in this painful 2ww. I have friends that are currently PG and others that have just had their baby. It is completely discouraging watching your dreams be carried out by others, but knowing my friends deserve that miracle is what keeps me going. I can talk to them about infertility, but they dont full  understand it, and I have found the support that I need right here in these forums. Try not to be so hard on yourself. This journey may have a ton of options for you. A little peice of advice for you though, try to stay positive, I know it is easier said than done, but in the end, all you have is your happiness :)

Thank you ....the day passed and I felt so much better. I know it is a little early to be so frustrated, but some days are harder than others. I know we can't look as celebrities....many of them have fantasy lives; nothing like us. Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm sorry you are having a bad day and that you have received such bad news! But the main word is "CHANCE". Definitely keep positive and motivated and hopefully you will be successful in ttc!
Don't worry about celebrities....they are not real life! They have soo much money that they don't know what to do with and can make many things happen quicker than it would normally happen for a regular person!

I wish you tons of luck and SSBD!
