Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

I married we both wanted children, so our plan was to stop using contraception and let nature take its course. three year later I still wasn´ t pregnant, so we visited our doctor. I was given blood tests to see if I was ovulating, but the results were inconclusive. Early investigations As I was menstruating normally, it was assumed that I probably was ovulating. But as the doctors were unsure, I was prescribedclomid. This is a drug used to stimulate ovulation. Clomid should only be taken for six months, because longer term use may be connected to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Six months later and there was still no progress, so more tests followed. We were under an excellent NHS consultant, who performed a laparoscopy, which is an investigation of the fallopian tubes to check for blockages. I also had an X-ray, which involved flushing liquid through the uterus (womb) and fallopian tubes to reveal any abnormalities (hysterosalpingograph). These procedures were quite painful, but there were still no explanations as to why Iwasn´ t conceiving. In some ways, I would have preferred to have had a specific problem which we could have had treated or at least understood. We then had three attempts at intrauterine insemination (IUI), where my husband´ s sperm was injected straight into my uterus. For this, I had to have hormone injections to boost my chances of conceiving and scans during each cycle. We wouldn´ t be offered stimulated IUI now, as what´ s recommended in the guidelines has changed since then. IVF treatment But these treatments brought us no closer to pregnancy. We were advised that in vitro fertilisation (IVF) was the only road left to travel. This really was the last resort in terms of fertility treatment. We realised that, if IVF failed, we may need to consideradoption. Having treatment for infertility makes your life an emotional rollercoaster, but it seems to have brought Andrew and I closer together. It is a pressure financially, though. Although IVF only has about a 20 per cent success rate for a woman , we would have kept trying, despite the expense. The first time we had IVF, I believed it couldn´ t fail. When it did, we felt more thandisappointed, we felt bereaved. It was as if we´ d lost our chance to have a baby. Between the second and third attempts, I became pregnant naturally, but I lost this baby at five weeks. While it was very hard, it gave me hope that I could get pregnant. For the last treatment, we had \" cycle buddies\" . These were three other couples who underwent treatment at the same time. They all became pregnant and I didn´ t, which was unbearable. But they all felt bad about it too, and continued to be very supportive. now me and my husband decided for adopting a baby please any one can help me in adoption please help me for God sake.
