My first infertility APT sucked! (Long)



Recommended Posts

Dear Rica,

I totally agree with Afterglow, clerks like the one you met need to be removed from their positions. On a brighter note I wanted to introduce myself and let you know that 3 of my 4 miracles were AI babies and true miracles. Your babies are just waiting to make an entrance. I'll send up a prayer for you and yours. Hugs,

Rica,

I am so sorry. My DH and I have been through this for 23 years now. We are now in the process of adopting a 9 year old little boy named Josh. Don't ever give up hope. God has a way of working even when we don't think He is.

Sending prayers and hugs your way.

Rica -

I've run through the infertility gauntlet myself. I was fine, but my husband, much like yours, was essentially sterile.

We tried artificial insemination with donor sperm, and when that didn't work, we went the adoption route. Adoption was not without it's trials and tribulations (we had a birth mother back out after we had supported her financially for 4 months) but in the end, we got the baby who was meant for us. That 'baby' is 17 years old now and a spoiled rotten terror :) who I love with all my heart and soul. I wouldn't have missed one minute of my life with him.

Adoption is great way to build a family, if you have some time, patience and financial backing to see the process through.

Good Luck - you're going to be a great mom.

men always feel compelled to "fix things" and when they can't it hurts them terribly and me do not deal well with that.

I went through alot of infertility stuff and it is not worth it.

I will pray for you and hope that you find peace.

take care - nancy

Wow for that long... I am so sorry for you. I am glas now that you have a son... that may be the answer for us also...maybe embryo adotion so that I can still experience pregnancy... I have been looking into it.

Nancy,

You are right my hubbie is a fix it kind of guy... SO I know he will do everything in his power to make me happy. I just wish it were me. I would do a doner egg in a hot second. But I realize that I would still feel conected through the pregnancy... I am still hopeful that he will change his mind. ...Oh and as far as adoption... We will begin our home study as soon as I can get through the beging of the news.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
