I think I will start with an intoduction

I'm Brenda 26 yrs. old I'm married to Michael 27 yrs. old, we have been together fo about 9 years married for 2 1/2, when we got married I wanted to have children right away buy DH did not feel ready, after a while he wanted to have kids and I did not feel ready, about 1yr and 2 months ago we finally realized we were both ready to have children, we started trying and it just did not happen, Honestly I always thought I was going to get pg right away, but nothing, I started having really long cycles up to 69 days, I went to see the Dr. about that and he told me it could be stress related because I suffer from depression, I had a U/S and I had some cysts I was prescribed bcp and the cysts were gone, but long cycles remained I went to the Dr. again and according to b/w everything is fine, he prescribed bcp again for 3 months and finally last cycle we were able to try again w/no luck this cycle we will try again and if I don't get my BFP we are going to see the dr. for an S/A for DH and I will get clomid.

We really want to have children of our own and we have been talking about saving money for IVF.

Sometimes I feel so discouraged DH really wants to be a Daddy and I can see it everytime he looks at a baby or he sees a pg women. I'm afraid of never being able to get pg, I know that it will destroy my marriage, DH is a wonderful loving person but I just think he will never be able to live w/out children.

We are frustrated but still hopefull, I still have a long road of medical procedures ahead, and hopfully one of them will bring us what we most want.

I actually understand what you are going through!

Me Jen (30) and DH Dave (28) have been together for 5 yrs and married 4 in Sept. We were waiting on getting our house built and get things together before having kids. We finally started seriously ttc May 2007. I bought a Clear Blue Fert Mon and after 6 months of use I got the print out from them and took that to OBYGN (NP). She requested the HSG and S/A. HSG was a left block tube but was cleared and S/A was fine. Then she said we could start clomid x 3 months 50 mg and if I wasn't preggo by then I needed to come see her. DH wants kids just as bad as I do. We have now started the South Beach Diet and are hoping that might help. This cycle was hard becuz it was our yr and the diagnosis of "Unexplained Infertility".

Not to mention;
g/f due in May #2
Aunt due in July w #4
Niece due in Aug w #1
g/f due in Aug #2
god daughter due in Sept w #1
2 g/f's due in Oct
g/f due in Nov!

So I get a little depressed that I haven't joined any of them yet! I try not to allow myself to get jealous becuz thats a horrible emotion! The werid thing is that when one of the girls here gets a BFP I am excited not 1 bit of jealousy isn't that weird!

Neways I want you to keep your head up and stay positive, we will be graduates soon!

What do you and DH do for fun? We love spending time with family (eatng of course) We enjoy Saltwater fishing, diving, hunting, riding 4-wheelers anything outside

Do you work? Yes, I am a scribe tech for an eye surgeon. Basically what I do is I go into every room with my doctor and I write down everything he says and assist in procedures and surgery. I really love my job!

How many kids do you want? As many as the Lord will allow or I can afford

Do you want a boy or girl first? I really don't care (I just want a healthy one)

What kind of birth are you planning? Natural w epidural in hosp (my mom has been as Labor & Delivery/Neonatal nurse for over 25 yrs) My DH said he still wants me in hosp with her being there.


Now it's your turn.........

Thank You for asking
It's going good, kind of boring because it's 1 month of training but I like the hours and the pay is pretty good.

[Awesome! It's nice to have a little something that identifies you and your wallet!

Do you like to travel, where have you been and where do you want to go?

No, with all of the babies I have to buy for this yr I don't have the $$ too!

Sorry I haven't been on a lot lately, I have been working late and so tired when I get home I haven't been on much! I don't want you to think I don't want to talk becuz I do. Where are you in your cycle? AF should arrive next Wed. I hope she stays away but I don't feel preggo so we will see.
