Dorothy, I read your story with interest. I to was infertile, but it was 1970, was a new nursing school graduate and new bride. After 5 years of us trying, still no baby. I worked as a Labor & Delivery nurse, and helping women to have their babies was getting harder and harder for me. Finally one of the obstetricians I worked with noticed and offered to help us adopt a baby. He told me t could take months or even years, but we didn’t care, we wanted a baby! Three weeks later I phoned him about a patient of his, and he concluded the conversation by saying, “oh, by the way, I have a baby for you and Bill (my husband).” I was ABSOLUTELY USELESS for the rest of the workday! She was due in 5 weeks, but 3 weeks later made her appearance (in the OB department where I worked!). She became the joy of our lives! And 5-6 weeks after her birth, I started to have nausea, vomitng, fatigue, etc. I was sure I had a fatal illness. NOPE, was six weeks pregnant! The girls are now grown and mothers on their own. The eldest (our adopted daughter) has two teenage boys, she and husband adopted a newborn baby 2 years ago! It is her 2nd marriage and they wanted a baby together. They went through all the IUI and IVF stuff without success. She turned 50 last month, and now her baby is 2 1/2. I’m happy for her, but don’t envy her. A 2 year old is a LOT of work! I went on to have 2 more children, We had the two girls and then 2 boys. My children are ages 50, 49, 48, and 47! Congratulations on. your daughter! Children are such a Blessing from God! Regards…… Kathy

Hi Dorothy, It was so lovely to read your story and that everything worked out for you. My partner and I have tried for years to get pregnant but now I’m 51 and it’s too late. We met only 10 years ago, so started trying for a baby rather late, for someone my age. My partner had tests and it turned out he has an amazing amount of sperm but theyre super super slow, so our chances were extremely low of anything happening. He’s 11 years younger than me and all of his friends are married now and having children. My younger friends all have babies and young children and got pregnant so easily they didnt even have to try. We find it very hard being around our friends with their families, as we still crave a child. I see the way my partner looks at babies and young children and I cry inside. The sad thing is I cant talk about it to anyone. My best friend and sister who have grown up children of their own both told me I should think myself lucky that I don’t have children or a baby and that we only have the two of us to worry about…basically, they think I’m better off without! I can’t talk to my younger friends with babies, as I dont want to make them feel guilty that it was easy for them to get pregnant and all they talk about is their own babies, nothing else. It’s actually just really good to write this down and share it with someone who knows how I’m feeling. Thank you 🙂

I just wanted to send a note to thank marvelspelltemple @gmail. com for the little girl we got to cuddle today. My first interaction with Doctor Muna about Infertility Spell process, I was scared and had a lot of questions. However Doctor Muna was always there for me throughout the whole process and became a part of the family. The most precious moments were spent looking at the first ultrasounds of our little miracle and watching her heartbeat for the first time. Moments I will not forget for the rest of my life. I am so thankful that I went to marvelspelltemple @gmail. com as he knew exactly what type of protocol to put me on that was right for me. This was our first and only attempt and thankfully it worked. Again, thank you all for your expertise and compassionate Miracle. Because of it I will have a lifetime of memories of our little girl!

Thank you for reading Amanda. My heart goes out to you! Getting that failure…it’s the worst feeling in the world. I can’t believe people still say those things. When you have infertility issues age doesn’t matter!! Sending you hugs!

Your story really hit home with me, I was tearing up by the last paragraph. My husband and I have been trying for 7 years, we’ve had the doctors help for the past year. We found out he has issues with low count, poor motility and morpgology (pretty much everything). I had a blocked tube and a uterine septum. I had surgery last summer to get that corrected.since then we’ve done two failed IUI’s. The first one I took really hard.I made the mistake of getting my hopes up. The second one was like hitting a brick wall; where do we go now? Neither of us want to do IVF. I don’t think I could handle the emotional stress if that didn’t work. And honestly the price tag scares us. now we’re seriously considering adoption. (We always talked about having one of our own and adopting one. You’re not the only naive one.) I’m 28 and my husband will be 30 in a couple months. People always tell us we’re young and it’ll “just happen”. I really wish they would stop treating infertility like it’s no big deal, like it’s not important. Thank you for sharing your story, sorry I went on a rant at the end there.

Thank you for sharing your story. IVF is the only way I will ever have a child also, but we aren’t financially there yet. I think the hardest part for me is knowing how much my husband wanted lots of kids and knowing that I’m the problem. I have one tube gone thanks to two ectopic pregnancies and the other tube is “completely useless” according to doctors. I suppose I’m fertile enough that we may be very lucky with ivf, but we might not, and it’s a very daunting thought. It helps hearing from other women who have struggled with similar situations.

It is such a hard thing to go through….my daughter is also 7. We were blessed with her after doing a HSG, 3 months of clomid, and a laparoscopy…all tests were negative, my husband and I were healthy and young, 27. It had been over a year and after doing the IUI I knew I didn’t want to do it again. It felt so cold and just not what I had always imagined ;). Thankfully, after the laparoscopy we conceived right away. The next seven years were a roller coaster of emotions…I had severe postpartum depression (more likely to happen with infertility.). I worked as a nurse in maternity, so I always had people asking me if I was going to have another baby…After a few years of not preventing pregnancy and nothing happening, I went to see a reproductive endocrinologist again…this time was different, it had been longer and now insurance wouldn’t cover any expenses! After more testing and everything coming back “normal” I just couldn’t bring myself to try IUI again but did do a few months of clomid. I tried to find an obgyn to do a laparoscopy because that had worked before but couldn’t find one to work with me. It took a few more years to find the right Dr to do the laparoscopy and then I finally sucked it up and did the IUI as well. The second time was so much better with the right atmosphere and now we are finally expecting again, triplets! It’s been a long and crazy ride, especially after being told everything is “normal” but I guess now is the time God had planned. The crazy thing is, I told my husband I just wanted to try it once, then I would be done 😉
Infertility always stays with you, no matter what. Even now I get asked if they were conceived “naturally.” While I know people are just curious, of course they were conceived “naturally”…a sperm and an egg got together, isn’t that what happens? 😉
It’s a hard road and while some people have similar stories, everyone’s is unique, thanks for sharing yours.
