Welcome, ICLWers!

A brief intro: wifey, 31 year old, married to hubby, also 31, for 6 years. Started trying to get knocked up about four years ago. Can get pregnant pretty easily but cannot for the love of god stay pregnant. Diagnosed with antiphospholipid antibodies, prescribed folic acid/aspirin daily, plus lovenox when pregnant. Had surgey for an ectopic pregnancy in December 2008. Lost my sixth pregnancy June 2009. Started clomid this summer in the hopes of maybe getting a sticky one. Were going to start the adoption process this summer but realized we needed more time to save. Realizing also that the biological clock is ticking and maybe we should do IVF when we get our money together. Indecisive.

In limbo.

  2. It's so tough to decide what course to take through the land of IF. Good luck and I hope you are blessed with a sticky pregnancy soon.

  4. I don't know if I ever contacted your with our story, but if you're interested, please e-mail me at hillaryayoung at gmail dot com. We had our son, then 7 m/c's before getting (and staying!!) pregnant with our current pregnancy.

  5. We're starting the adoption process this summer too. I'm both excited and terrified beyond belief.
    I'm also on Clomid too right now, so here's hoping for both of us!

  6. I hate the limbo stage and the indecisive feelings. I feel for you. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Glad to know that there are other lazy, sloppy, homebodies out there. I knew I wasn't alone ;-)

  8. Happy ICLW. Limbo land is awful. I hope you find your way through this to a sticky BFP soon.

  9. Thanks for stopping by my blog! You're totally right, having a car can really suck sometimes. I often say that I wish I lived closer to the city and could hop on the train.

    I'm so sorry that you're having such a rough time with semi-fertility over the past few years. I'll be praying that you'll get to take a very near exit off Crap Highway. Somethings got to give, right?

  10. I, unfortunately, have no advice for you. Nothing good, anyway. I hope you find some great support this week. I am sending my prayers your way.

  11. Have you ever tried IVIG therapy? And apparently, there is some newer version of IVIG out now that is better. Supposed to be good for elevated NK cells (and APA, I think) and recurrent miscarriage.
