Secondary IF

newbie

We have been doing Clomid,ovadel,then IUI since March 2013. We have a son who will be 3 in July there was no problems conceiving him I got pregnant the first month after I went off of  BC and I had a healthy pregnancy but had to have a c section because the dr. couldn't monitor baby's heart rate. Nov 2012 I had a small bump removed from my abdomen that came back as a piece of endometriosis, then in Jan 2013 I had a laproscopy to make sure endometriosis was not causing our IF problems. Lap showed that there was a small amount of endometriosis but the Dr. said there was not enough to cause problems and that my tubes we clear,free from obstruction.

I am looking for support with how do you handle the friends and sometimes my husband who tell you that you should take a break from TTC for a couple months. To me that is a waste of time, it's a month farther from where I want to be. Its really hard to explain this to people who aren't going though it. My hubby seems to think that if we are taking a break maybe a "miracle" will happen but I feel that we were TTC on our own without any help for at least a year and nothing happened so why would it be any different now?  I am feeling like I know my body and I am not ready to stop  yet. Does anyone have a positive to   taking a month or two  off?

  • Sorry.  I do not have a good story to share about taking time off, I guess that depends from what part of IF.  This time around I have had 3 cycles cancelled just because the RE needed another test.  The first time I went through IF there were times I had to take a break just because of my schedule and things didn't work.  I was doing the injectables and on a Fri afternoon they called me and wanted to do the IUI.  I didn't get the message until 6-7 p.m.  I had practice Sat. morning when they told me I could drive over 1 1/2 hours.  The other option was just to DTD on our own.  That is the time we conceived our DS.  I think others on this board would have good stories about taking time off, but I just wanted to share that I understand that why you do not want to take a break.  Good Luck!
