My wife and I tried for about a year and a half until we scheduled a visit to her ob/gyn for a fertility consult. On the day of the appointment, my wife had been feeling weird, so she took a pregnancy test. It was positive. We changed the consult to a pregnancy confirmation, and our first daughter was born in May 2011. We have since had another daughter, born November of last year. My point is to not give up hope.

She's doing OK. At 24 weeks right now. We had a bit of a hiccup last week when she got a GI bug and she couldn't keep food or water down. Had to go to labor and delivery for an IV and some anti-nausea meds.The other thing is that she isn't putting on enough weight. She's only gained like 10 pounds so far (and lost 3 due to GI bug). She met with the nutritionist yesterday and it was pretty amazing what she told her. Basically, she should be eating full fat everything, lots of snacks, and basically indulge yourself on anything high calorie any time you can... Make your snacks easy, plentiful, and high calorie. So, just the opposite of anyone trying to lose weight.Other than that, the pregnancy has been good. Both twins are 1.1 lbs. right now and everything has checked out on the 2 ultrasounds we've had.

This problem of getting pregnant is literally ruining my life and marriage.This is all she's obsessed with.I'm spending thousands on endless tests, meds, and other bull####, and almost every day there are tears while she looks at baby pics on facebook.Every conversation ultimately ends up being about the lack of a baby.my life sucks right now

Big thanks to any that were thinking of us. It must of helped. Cause of a couple days ago we are pregnant.Transferred two embryos today.
It's very early and first ultrasound is not until next month. What a relief and we are so happy it worked this time. My wife is bloated and tired but she wouldn't change a thing. Keep us in your thoughts.

Ah dude been there. It consumes everything. Only advice I can give is do not put life on hold waiting to get pregnant. We found we were putting off every major decision cause we wanted to find if we would be pregnant anytime soon. Just be positive for her and look for other things that can be enjoyable and take your mind of having a baby.Good Luck it's a challenge.

i'm not putting life on hold.. but she is.i'm trying to be positive... but i'm sick of getting complained at for it... since there's no one to blame, i get blamed.I really don't think about it... ever. Conversely, this is all she thinks about always. It's the classic princess bull#### where everything she's wanted in life for the most part she's gotten... but with this particular issue it doesn't work that way... so it's defcon 3.Honestly at this point i'm not even enjoying the sex because it feels forced and with such high expectations as every month passes by that maybe this is the one.It's exhausting emotionally.

Yeah the planned sex is not as fun as you would think. No fun when it's all about the result and not about the journey. It's such a tough situation my wife is very low maintenance. Doesn't want everything by no means. But this is one thing she wants. So tough cause you can't just pay more money or do more work to get the results you want. So much is out of your hands. I just feel fortunate that we were able to afford the cost. Would be even tougher if you couldn't exhaust all chances. I knew we would eventuality have kids. We would of gone the adoption route if we did not get pregnant. This seemed to help us.How old are you two?
Sorry to hear. Everyone in this thread has been there before. If you haven't already, suggest you read through from the beginning. Any prognosis from the tests?

Well, good luck with everything, but this sounds like a bit of a problem. Do you want to have a kid? Because the whole idea of it sorta goes against your whole shtick. I guess if you had a baby you might get somebody to take a dump on you though.

To those struggling do not give up hope. It took us 8 years for our daughter who is 2 and a half. Specialists and tests and embarrassment but when we decided to adopt it happened. 8 years. After a year off we think there was a miscarriage in the fall but are at 8 weeks now. God is good and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Not to hijack things, do not give up hope.

Those of you that have been reading for a while remember that my wife and I went through this for years and years. After starting with the Clomid and then moving to IVF, we finally had a fertility doctor tell us we should probably give up on IVF and make a decision between egg donors or adoption. We went egg donor, and after multiple attempts we now have a healthy baby girl.
And here's the twist- a couple weeks ago we found out my wife is pregnant again, eight months after giving birth. No medical assistance whatsoever. All we did was #### at the right time apparently. Honestly it still doesn't seem possible after listening to multiple highly regarded specialists for all that time, but it's pretty amazing.

Thanks all.
I'm just happy our original problems were on her end, not mine. Otherwise the obvious explanation would be infidelity. That would have made for some interesting conversations.

After 3 failed rounds of Clomid/IUI our doc suggested we jump straight to IVF because he says we have infertility of unexplained origin since my swimmers are good and my wife is producing nice follicles. I was ready for it but my wife wanted to try a round of injectables because she felt it was "more natural." That was a no-go last month so on Tuesday we have our IVF consultation.
We've already read those "things you should ask your doc before IVF" lists available on all the infertility sites...but is there anything you guys who have been through it wish you asked your docs before the process started?

Julia and Andres were born yesterday afternoon at 4:30 via c-section. Both babies and mom are doing well. Both were over 5 lbs at birth, which is pretty good for twins.
Thanks to all in this thread for the support and good luck to those out there trying.

Congrats Z! Twins, while scary at first, really are amazing. Let me know if you have any questions or need advice. My twins are now almost 20 months old and I've been the stay-at-home dad.

Yeah, some people don't do fertility stuff because of the expense. Some people take out loans to pay for it.

So that twist really gets me.
I really wonder how much of a role stress plays in all of this.
it's like when you don't care if you have the baby or not, it just happens.. like when you hear people have a kid naturally after adopting.. or a case like yours.
But when you want it to happen more than anything you need drugs, chemicals, other BS... it'd endless.
I wonder what it would be like to be one of these fertility docs... i mean more often that not what you do fails, but there's no returns, discounts... it's just.. sorry.. 'dems the odds.
If I had a failure rate of my procedures as high as these guys, i'd have been out of business years ago.
i think stress has a lot to do with it. but also they say that having a baby "resets" the female repro system. it could be hogwash, but ive read that multiple times

Just what you said helped us keep it all in perspective during the difficult journey. I said many times as hard as this is I can't imagine if you didn't have the money to at least try. We feel very fourtanate we had the ability to try and eventually succeeded.

Where in Sacramento did you go for your procedure? Mrs. One and I had twins as well through IVF at the Nor Cal Fertility Clinic in Roseville. Again, congrats. It's an amazing experience to be a parent of multiples.
