Hi, my name is Laura, I am 29 years old. I have been married for 3 years and we started trying for a family straight away. Nothing happened so went to doctors and had all the blood tests and other tests done, and found out I have polysystic ovaries. In Jan 06 I was put on a course of clomid, 1st course I took, much to our surprise, we found out I was pregnant. As much as I was so happy, also worried loads too. I started spotting at about 6 weeks but the doctors said this was nothing to worry about. At about 9-10 weeks, I had quite bad spotting so went to the hospital and they did a scan, everything was great, saw babys heartbeat, and felt so much better knowing that everything was ok. Two weeks later, i woke up with what felt like faint period pains. Didnt really think much as in the books that you get, it said that at this stage, 11-12 weeks, you could get feeling like this. It got to the evening and I the pains were getting worse and my spotting had got worse. I rang the hospital and they said to go in to be monitored. The pain was so bad, I knew what was happening, just couldnt really believe it was happening to us. You read about these things but you never think it is going to happen to you. I lost the baby at about 3 in the morning. The worse thing was having to have a scan the next morning for them to tell you that sadly there was nothing there anymore.....
Its now just over a year ago when it happened and even now, i still cry about it, just writing about it now brings tears to my eyes. I guess when you want something so much, you dont always get it. I have had more clomid tablets and injections, but nothing has happened. I am currently on a 6 months waiting list to have a laprocopsy. In my mind, i know that we are going to have to have IVF, I know you are meant to stay positive all the time, but its so hard to. Anyone who has read that and is still awake, I would love to hear your stories!! xx
another newbie! - my story
Hey there Laura I am so sorry to hear of your loss..My heart goes out to you! I know how that is...I also have had a few losses... we have been trying for almost 7 years now..First was m/c like your over night at home... 
and then after that we had two blighted ovums...sac but no baby... eggs just didnt want to mature...so I had two D&C's..thats when I was told I have PCOS also..... then we tried clomid and metformin..no luck and after that I ended up having surgery to remove a bad tube..Now RE says we should try without anyhelp just clomid and chances are good...other tube is great but I am just tired...so I am choosing to Do IVF just to get away from going through all the timed stuff and just not knowing......so this is my Option for us....I know how your feeling about all this ...it's hard...just hang in there .....Take care...

hiya
thank you for your support, I think I am doing ok then you hear that someone else is pregnant and you feel down again.
Sorry to hear about your losses too and your other sad news, you have certainly been through it. I feel tired of it all and we have only been trying 3 years so god knows what you feel like after 7. I think that we are going to go for IVF now, I am sick of just waiting around, and like you the whole timed stuff puts so much pressure on you both. Have you been for an appointment for IVF yet? Do you know how long the waiting lists are?
You hang on in there too hun, keep your chin up xxx

Hi
Hi Laura,
I have just joined, I am so sorry for your loss, that would have been a very hard time for you both.
My name is Marie and I am 30 years old. I have been married for two years and have been trying the whole time and nothing happened. I to have psos and as it turns out with all the test my husband count is low and this is why they have recommended us to IVF our chances on our own are minimal, but you never know what can happen in the mean time (positive thinking here). .I am scared and excited at the same time .I am a bit like you my husband keeps on correcting me being the over positive one. I am the worrier and as he says I am the negative. I can’t help thinking what if etc. I am the type of person that likes to know what I am in for and before even taking that first step I want to know the next one incase.
We should be able to start in three weeks.
I hope that someone cancels on your waiting list and you get to get there sooner. Any thing is possible.
Hope to hear from you xoxoxooxoxox
