Our son is now 2 and we are ready for another baby. I had Mirana put in after he was born in 2007, and just had it removed in May this year. So far, I haven't gotten pregnant. I didn't think I would have to wait so long... our son was conceived pretty darn fast! I'm starting to think the Mirana messed me all up... anyone else have problems conceiving after Mirana? Could it just be that I'll be 30 in a week and now it's harder to conceive? I'm getting frustrated and disappointed. :(

I have been trying to concieve for 2 years now - with one ectopic pregnancy last June. I now am the Host of a Resolve Peer Support Group for woman with primary infertility. This struggle has been a very difficult one - even being the host of a support group, I don't feel as if I've fully grasped my emotions with infertility and honestly I don't know if I ever will. Everyone around me including my 2 nieces are having babies - several of my Resolve sisters (as I call them) are now pregnant and I kind of feel like the "last one standing" in this battle - I'm losing hope fast and I'm very scared of possibly NEVER becoming a biological mother. I have 2 step children who live with me - and I love them very much - but they have a Mom and as much as she dislikes me, I would never rob her of her children (even though I feel as if they are like my own as well) ANYWAY...that's my story in a "nut shell" - and I'm happy to be a part of this community and learn from other ladies on how to deal with the sadness and disappointment I face month after month when AF shows her ugly face!

Reading all of your blogs has really made me realize how not-easy this is! I always thought it would be like "wham, bahm, thank-you ma'am!"

Question... I have a job right now that covers a big chunk of fertility treatments. It doesn't pay the most, (the job) but the benefits are AMAZING. Heaven forbid it's necessary, how much/long of a process is it usually?

One of my friend's at work had IVF done and they didn't have to come out of pocket much. Is the price of procedures sometimes a hindrance?

Also, are peas really bad for fertility? that's what I hear!

Future Mama, only you can decide when you are going to TTC and who cares if the whole planet knows, motherhood is what we all seek, well most of us anyway.... Life is made of successes and failures. I know I complain about people asking me if I am pregnant yet but the reward of pregnancy is a million times worth more than the constant question. Just don't do what we did, wait 19 years. I thought getting pregnant would be easier than a snap of the fingers. I was so wrong, but I am growing as a person through this whole experience & I am a better person for it.

Thank you, Meredith for the information I really needed the encouragement hopefully they aren't blocked I'll keep you posted.

Hi Melissa, I believe what your doctor wants to do is an HSG. I just had one. It's like a rotter rooter of your fallopian tubes. It's not so bad as far as procedures goes. It will be uncomfortable if you have a blockage, but if you don't it should be OK. It's a great test to find out if you have any reason for not getting pregnant. Also it is theraputic, as it clears out the tubes of debris and a lot of women get pregnant soon after. Good Luck!

Hello, Everyone I'm 22 I have been married for 4yrs and my husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 2yrs we both had exams done we both are pretty healthly and we also have done clomid with the Ovidrel Shot 3 times with no success.But my Dr. wants me to have an x-ray to check one more thing that might be wrong and might be stopping us from conceiving he thinks my fallopian tubes might be blocked and I would need surgery to get them unblocked so it's very stressful for us at this time.

I would caution you Future Mama from telling people you are trying. I have been trying for just about a year now and I told people at the very beginning I was trying. Now, every month people ask me if I am pregnant yet. It is hard enough getting a negative result, worse when you get asked all the time if you are pregnant. Good Luck! I would love to read your conception diary. Mine is on Momlogic at www.momlogic.com/conceptiondiaries/meredith

I've been back and forth with the deciding to get try to get pregnant situation. I'm not sure how hard it will be for us to conceive but I've been married for nearly 5 years and have been waiting already, I don't know if I'll be able to handle months and months of unsuccessful attempts. I'm scared to tell people when we're TTC for fears it won't work out like we plan. I may start my own "pre-conception and conception diary" here on MomLogic before I get the courage to post it on my own blog.

Do you know of things you can eat to make me/ my husband more fertile? I'm thinking we may start trying beginning of August. I've already been tracking my cycle for 2 months to get a head start. Man, I'm type-A!

Glad to be in this group!
