Thank you both for your replies it means so much to me that I'm not the only one trying. Congratulations on your pregnancy wish you all the best. I'm still worried about my hormones and facial hair and feel that no one is out there to help me. I don't want to wait for so long. I don't know what to do

Thanks so much for sharing your story, it gives me hope.  I'm 38 and we have been TTC for nearly 5 years.  We got pregnant on our own in 2009 and had a miscarraige at 7wks, and I was told exactly the same thing as you.  Don't worry about it, it means you CAN get pregnant.  Wait a few months and then start trying again and you'll get pregnant in no time. Well after another year and half with and without Chlomid, we still weren't pregnant again.  So I asked my OB to refer us to a RE.  We started seeing him in November and had one failed IUI attempt and are now going through our first IVF cycle.  

I'm scared to death at this point, but trying desperately not to be.  We had a 3dt on 3/23 of the only two embryos that made it through the ER and fertilization process.  The embryologist said they were grade B 8 cell embryos and considered them "good" quality.  I had very sharp cramping and breast tenderness for the past several days, but noticed today it has gone away.  I'm so hoping that is not a bad thing.  I have me Beta test on 4/4, and the waiting is killing me.  

Any advice for dealing with it?  

A big congratualtions to you on your pregnancy!!  I'll be praying for you to a have healthy pregnancy and baby:)

I'm not sure if I have advice.  But I DO want to write and empathize with you and tell you that you're not alone in your frustration.  After a year of trying to conceive, I got pregnant.  It ended in miscarriage six weeks later.  This was back in 2005.  Everyone told me "Don't worry.  This just means you CAN get pregnant and you'll be pregnant again in just a few months."  Well, those few months turned into a few years and eventually, after six more years of trying after the miscarriage, we realized we weren't going to get pregnant again unless we had help.  (We did try many fertility treatments in between that time - pretty much everything short of IVF.)  I KNEW that my miscarriage had messed with my hormones (kind of like you described here - with your facial hair growth).  I was frustrated that no doctor seemed to ackowledge that and everyone told me to "just relax" and "stop worrying."  Finally, six years after the miscarriage, we started seeing a RE who started us in the process of IVF right away.  Our first fresh cycle was not successful, but our frozen embryo transfer, which was on 2/23/11 was and now I am seven weeks pregnant and just had an ultrasound and heard the heartbeat!!  It's a miracle after so many years of heartache and trying!!

I guess I didn't really answer your question or give any "help" or "advice."  But I wanted to share my story too and let you know that I TRULY empathize with you.  You will find a lot of love and support here in these forums.

Best of luck to you!!
