Feeling like giving up
August 21, 2007
Hello! I need some advice and this site seems to be very helpful. I was married for almost 10 years and during that time I found out my ex was cheating and we were suppose to trying for a baby. I had a abortion back in 1999 and had an miscarrage back in 2006 it was an empty sack. Now I have been blessed to find a wonderful person and we are trying for a baby and it has been 6 mths nows we are both over 35 and nothing has happen. I'm not sure what to do. I just started my period yesterday. I am overweight and do drink coffee and I have read and read so many things and just need some help. I feel like I never will have a family. I feel like giving up. My new husband is wonderful. Could the abortion damaged something in there? Please help!!!!
Hi Feeling Lost,
I am a member on this site, and I too am experiencing difficulty in becoming pregnant.
My husband and i have been trying for 2years, we are now seeing an RE. He has us on Clomid and we will do an iui next month.
This is the hardest time of life, coping with infertility. Last night i broke down and confessed to my husband exactly how hard this. I work from home and have a small business, i have hardly been able to work and may loose my business over this, this is affecting every part of my life.
But we have to stay positive don't we. I am not going to give up and i hope you don't either. I personally believe that fertility is all about hormones and when we get them in synch we will be able to concieve. I believe with the right help from doctors and us doing everything that we can, it will happen. Don't loose faith. I know it's hard, but in the end it will be worth it, right?
Take Care,
sheri

Hi Sheri,
It's hard to explain but finding this site has given me a better outlook with this problem. Now knowing how big infertility is has made me look into my health and the past stuff I have done to my poor old body:-). I don't want to put my body thru chemicals because I don't react to meds very well. I'm now looking into herbal treatments and Chinese meds. As you stated hormones is the key and I agree with you 100%.
I understand about not being able to focus on anything and I did the same thing yesterday. I broke down yesterday when noone was home and then again last night with the hubby. I keep on thinking I did something or my terrible ex-husband gave me something because of his cheating ways but the dr's have not found anything. Finding this site and the wonderful people in it is keeping me positive and the support that I have here. Please let me know what happens with you? Keeping you in my thoughts-feeling lost

Feeling... I am 39 (40 in 2 weeks)...be patient! I am overweight & had been trying for 4 mo, I finally gave in & saw an RE. After you have been trying 6 mo & are over 35, any RE will see you. I just explained to my RE in the initial consult, I want to be preg b4 I turn 40. That WAS 10/08 & I am now Pregnant. We got our BFP on our first IUI. We just needed a boost! **BABYDUST*** DONT GIVE UP!

Let me first reassure you that abortions medically speaking rarely provoke infertility...infertility just happens to about anyone.
We're here to help, and at this time, would highly recommend you visit specifically an RE (you can find one near you through this site) who can help you by running various tests on you and your husband. If there's a problem, it'll be addressed and you'll be helped to start a family. Hang in there, and we as a community are here to help and let you know you are not alone in this journey. Please keep us posted.
