Anything else you'd like to add? My husband has a Glioblastoma brain tumor and has had treatment for it. He has a daughter from a previous marriage so I know it is possible. Just not sure if he still can. I realize I need to go see a doctor, just scared to hear the answer of, "it isn't possible". Everyone around me is having a baby, and so I am just sad now. Found myself crying nonstop for a while in my room on Thanksgiving. My cousin (who is pretty much my best friend/sister) told me she was pregnant with her third. And they just started to try in October..and she is already 5 weeks pregnant. I am happy for her, but I was sooooo depressed. Okay, well that is me in a very small nutshell!thanks for listening/reading.

I have recently started to chart in an effort to take more charge of my fertility. I have had the full spectrum of recurrent miscarriage tests and there were no major problems.

OB had be take Clomid this cycle days 4-8 and I go for a follicle ultrasound on December 10th.
I am new here
Hi,
I'd very much like to get help with some pregancy related questions.
I found this forum is a great support group.
My name is daniella.
I know this site by googling pregancy related key words.
I had abortion 11/08/07 while I was not ready. Now I am married with the same man and ready to have child. We have tried for 8 months. I am 39, my DH is 37. I have minimal menstrual flow now, which might be due to scar tissue from abortion. Do you know whether scar tissue in fallopian tube or the uterus can occude the chance of getting pregnant? I just had my first doctor visit, she said I have a lot of eggs.
I regret tremendously of having an abortion. and now scared of no chance to have babies with my DH.
Please help!
-Daniella

Anything else you'd like to add? I just started charting on my Aug cycle and I still have a lot to learn about the interpretation of it. Our bodies are very complex and confusing and I hope to learn a lot from you ladies.
DH has a low sperm count so we are dealing with that slowly. Naturally, he doesn't really want to discuss it but he is getting better as the months go by (we just found out in sept). I am 27 and DH is 31 and we are TTC #1.

How did you find out about APA? I was googleing Angus Castus to help with infertility....
Anything else you'd like to add? I CANNOT WAIT to get pregnant, I had my daughter when I was 17, she is now 8. I recently married and have the greatest husband and just graduated from nursing school!!! I feared that now that I am really ready to have more kids that it would prove to be much harder to concieve than it was when I unexpectedly concieved my daughter. I know that I have not been trying for long, I'm just so anxious to start to build my family =) I wish everyone luck!!
By the way has anyone used Angus Castus and been successful in concieving?
Desiree
Welcome, Desiree!
I haven't tried Angus Castus, but will look it up.
Good luck to you!
I like these forums!
