My husband just did his first set of tests after 4 months of injections 3 times a week. His testosterone level is normal but sperm count is zero. He has an appointment tomorrow with the doctor, but so far we don’t know what our options are from here. Disappointing, but it’s still the first setback, hopefully we have some other options.

How I did it: I consider myself fortunate, at 38, to have gotten pregnant this easily. When we weren't pregnant after 3 months of trying, we set up a few tests with our doctor to find out if anything specific was preventing pregnancy. (Turns out I was already pregnant at that visit.) In fact, I had an ultrasound test scheduled for yesterday, the day I discovered I was pregnant, just to make sure everything was all right down there. Needless to say, I c… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Um, I just did it lolWe have always been uber-religious about using condoms. Basically we planned a date for us to stop using condoms and BAM, pregnant! Now I can see how easily it is for people to get knocked up if they are being careless with birth control. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After my IUD was removed, I expected to get pregnant right away. I joined Fertility Friend began researching everything and charting cycles, cervical fluid, waking temperature, and taking ovulation tests.1 mo., 2 mos. passed. By the 3rd month I was beginning to worry. I had yet to get a single + O- test. By the 4th month, I was starting to get upset and burned out. Sex was becoming more and more like a chore, with my husband acting … Read how I did it…

How I did it: We made love as much as possible, with no birth control. We were very determined, and working towards the goal of conceiving a child brought us closer together. The first couple of pregnancy tests came back with negative results, which was naturally discouraging, but when we took another, a couple of weeks later, and it came back positive, it was just AWESOME. It's hard to describe how we both felt. We were laughing and hugging each other… Read how I did it…

She got me on the BBT chart thing. :-P Follow up in 3 months. Wish me luck over the next 3 months! (that will have equalled almost a YEAR of trying!) Also: I wish the best for everyone else! Your posts keep the frustration at bay!
Gisneys_Alice trying to be impressive lmao =)
So before yall start jumping down my throat i just wanna say i know im way to young. And im not looking to be pregnant right now,, im just saying that its a very appealing thing to me. I dont even know if i want children…Iv always wanted a son,, but im not sure id be the best mommy,, and im not bringing a child into the word that im not 100% sure im ready to give me life to. But truthfully i really really want to be pregnant,, cant help it,, just do =D
So we decided about 4 weeks ago to start trying for a baby. We really wern’t not trying. He was pulling out, but it always seemed to work for us. But it was really disapointed to find out it’s a negative this month. I really hope we get pregnant soon. I don’t want to be one of those people who pee on a stick month after month and just have their heart drop into their stomach. We bought ovulaton sticks. So I will try those as soon mother nature goes away.. lol
My husband and I are going to start trying this month. Just got off b/c. I’m so very excited! I am hopeful… I have endometriosis so it’s a bit of a gamble. Still, my mom had it too and she had 3 kids. :)

Another month has gone by, no luck. I’m sneaking peaks at the baby section when we walk into a store and subconsciously planning a nursery. I’m shopping for other things to re-focus: a waterproof camera, new tack for my horse, sofas, planning trips that may not happen… all stuff that can wait and isn’t needed and doesn’t jive with my savings plan. I have auburn hair and I swear I have seen more redheaded children under the age of 4 in the last few months than I have ever noticed in my LIFE!! LOL! Plus stress relieving activities (like reading and tai chi) are seeming more dull, so the stress/ anxiousness is building. Not healthy in itself. My husband’s brother now has 2 children, 3 and 1 years. Cute as all get out and really well behaved. His brother is younger than ME!! I’m not complaining, but I’m kinda jealous that it happens so easy for some other people. Plus my husband LOVES them and he gets them laughing and playing games so easily. He is so kind-hearted and would make an incredible father, though I think it makes him nervous. It’s cute. The ‘get more frisky’ part of the steps has been difficult with travel and family issues lately. I hope that will be less of an issue now. I just catch myself daydreaming about teaching a child of our own while I re-shelve my books. Oh, frustrating!! Ok, now the wait begins again. But so does the fun. I guess I’ll have to utilize that imagination of mine:-)
I did it at 4am this morning. And it was positive! I am excited and tired and my mind is buzzing; I can’t get back to sleep.
Of course I’m glad to be able to cross this goal off my list, but really it’s just the first milestone in the ultimate goal: have a healthy baby. So everyone please cross your fingers, light a candle, or say a prayer that this little bugger makes it to the finish line.
