She came back up the stairs to the kitchen and clicked back onto the site.
Dear Ava2WW, My first and second IUI didn’t work either, but hang in there. My third gave me little Jon, I’ve attached his picture. He’s three now. It can happen! Don’t give up. Some of us need a little help. Hang in there! Baby Luv Jon

Hello Ava2WW. I’ve been where you are. My angels came close together, four of them. I know what you feel, even if I can’t put it in words. Sucky club, right? You didn’t say how old you are. I’m 43 and have been TTC (that’s trying to conceive) for about eleven years give or take. If you have to stay with us, you will learn the lingo, that’s for sure. I’ve been TTC for a good part of my adult life. SUUUUUCCCCKKKKSSSSS! I’ve tried it all: injectables, Clomid, progesterone, IVF (five times!—they won’t do it anymore for me) IUI too many times to count. You name it, I know it. Sorry, I don’t mean to be a wet blanket. Maybe God will give you your bundle of love. He’s stingy with them though. Just kidding. Don’t mean to rain on your parade. MOM 2 B

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I know how you feel MOM 2 B, believe me. I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING PEOPLE’S SUCCESS STORIES! LOL. They don’t help me. I’m a terrible person. I feel like one. Somebody at work actually said to me that I should be glad I can at least get pregnant. Can you believe that? Like getting pregnant is the goal. She has two kids and thinks infertility is all in your head. I am trying hard not to hate those people. If somebody else tells me to relax I’m going to start screaming. That will prove I’m relaxed, right! Has it ever helped anybody in any situation to hear that! Enough ranting. LOL! My ears won’t pop. Is that crazy? I’ve been to the bathroom a hundred times today. The gas. Impressive, but EMBARRASSING. Is this in my head? ? Hormones? I made the appointment for a blood test. If I can wait that long. I have a whole bathroom vanity full of pregnancy tests. I cannot even tell you how many freakin pregnancy tests I’ve bought! Gotta laugh so I won’t cry ? I do have a practical question. I was on Gonal-f with the trigger shot and progesterone after. I hate it! I am thick-headed and stupid and so fat. Thank god I’m usually trim or I’d be completely round. My face is even fat. I stopped counting the chins! Does anyone have any good experience with this combo? AVA2WW

My third pregnancy was on GF and the works. I got pregnant but my little one wasn’t in me long enough to feel her move. I always thought she was a girl, though it was all over too early to really know. Your fate might be better than mine, Ava! Look at what you ate Ava2WW. That’s what’s causing the gas. YOU CANNOT HAVE SYMPTOMS THIS EARLY. I don’t mean to be mean, but any weird thing you are feeling is just because you are in tune with your body and noticing everything. Please don’t go off the deep end. We are all enabling each other in our crazy. I want this as much as anyone, but it is not good to fool ourselves, is it? Can anyone hear me? Am I talking to myself? MOM 2 B

Dear MOM 2 B, Please try to be positive. This site is for us to encourage each other. We are all hurting. Can you understand that? I’m trying to conceive another bundle. Any tips would be appreciated. BellasMOM

After 8 months of drugs I now have one, count them one mature follicle and a late one at that, that doesn’t get around to producing until day 19 of my cycle. My husband is tired. “We are enough” he says, but I see the way he looks at me. I can read his face. I’ve known him fifteen years. Worse than that I see the way he looks at other families, a sick little turn on his mouth like he just learned he got a raw deal. He’s probably the problem. I’ve wondered a hundred times if my body just doesn’t like his body. You know? What if we had different partners? He said the last time he had to go to the clinic, “I’m bringing my own porn next time. No more German dominatrix.” Maybe I’ll get him Jugs for Christmas. HA HA. My estrogen is good. I should be thankful for small things. But everyone, including BellasMOM, just because I’m for real doesn’t mean I’m not positive. MOM 2 B

Ava2WW, Good luck. I don’t have experience on Gonal-f, but I did other drugs. It took me over five years to get pregnant. I lost the first one, but I did get pregnant a year later. It can work. I know how you feel. I just kept thinking that the whole thing was kind of a combination lock and I just had to have the right numbers. That sweet baby you wish for might just be nine months away. This might be just the combination you need. Baby dust to you. Baby Luv Jon

Everyone, When did we all just become somebody’s mom? I’m as guilty as anyone. I might be the worst, but this is a legitimate question. When did we just become mommy? Didn’t we fight a revolution to have names? Baby dust!! Are you people for real? MOM 2 B

Everyone, PLEASE IGNORE MOM 2 B!!!!!!! They should do a better job of getting people like her off this site. BellasMOM

I was just frustrated. I forgot to say good luck. I forgot to wish baby dust. I forgot to tell you all that God loves you and is making your baby right now. Face it, kids, you are your Barrenesses. This is your kingdom. All those symptoms are a joke, Ava 2WW. Did you eat Mexican last night? Bingo, you have your answer. You are not having any symptoms yet. Your maybe-baby is the size of a pin dot. You can’t have symptoms for God’s sake. You want to hug a sweet baby with warm milky breath on your neck? Get a cocker spaniel, they’re a sure thing. MOM 2 B

MOM 2 B, GET OFF THIS SITE. PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE EVERYTHING HARDER. BellasMOM

MOM 2 B, SEE A SHRINK, LADY. YOU NEED HELP! Baby Luv Jon

I’m sorry, sorry, sorry. Everyone, I’ve been in a state lately. I need your forgiveness. I need to belong to this community. Twelve-year-old girls with no future, or forty-six-year-old menopause women wind up with babies in their arms. They don’t even try. They win and they don’t even try. I can’t stand it. Will someone explain that to me? MOM 2 B

Dear Ava2WW, Try to stay positive. You have a big day coming. BellasMOM

Ava2WW, Here’s hoping for that BFP. Fingers and toes crossed. Baby Luv Jon

Is anyone listening? Can anyone hear me? Don’t drive yourself crazy. You will go insane looking at every little thing, wishing for a sign. Please listen. MOM 2 B
