As if the emotional rollercoaster of IVF treatment isn't enough, there's finances to think about!! We had a couple of relatives who helped us out but I also got a part-time job working at a Dr's office! I did front desk reception and it was actually very helpful...once I got to know the Dr., I could ...

jenice -- that's wonderful!!

my DH and I are keeping you in our prayers...I hope this all works out for you! ::

Tiger --- I hope you are doing ok; my thoughts & prayers are with you!

I just spent the last 3 hrs reading thru this thread...it's very inspiring and I admit I cried a few times! I want all you over-40 ladies to know that this is indeed possible -- my mother had my sister at 44 years of age, and my sister is 42 and is currently 7 mo pregnant after years of ...

desperate,

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. :( This is really tough. You should really try to exhaustively explore all the medical options out there. Do you leave near a major medical center? It might even be worth traveling for a consult. I don't want to give you false hope, but people ...

wishfulthinking,

I just want you to know that I know exactly where you are coming from. My hubby and I were TTC for a long time before we had any success, and I'm still convinced it was a fluke! You have to remember to keep your head up. Every day the docs are finding new techniques to help women ...

Hey girl...I feel your pain..my DH and I have been TTC for a few months now and it's been really tough on both of us. We have a beautiful 4 year old boy (he was an IVF baby) but we want to conceive again and complete our family with another son or daughter. I have been trying this natural herbal ...

DH and I are TTC this cycle...just got my AF so let the games begin! :)

Our beautiful 4 year old son Eli was IVF...we couldn't be happier but we want a baby to complete our little family. We have really been struggling for the past few months. One of my girlfriends is 7 months along now after being ...
