I always thought that once DH and I decides to have a baby it would happen in no time. That hasn't happened yet and it's hard. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1298458 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 16:49:10 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1298458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: you're not a whiner, this is hard stuff.

Try to keep your head up, this journey just sucks sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295887 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 16:17:08 +0000 Trailmix 1295887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My FSH was a 20.3 and while I needed assistance (injections plus IUI) to get pregnant, I did not have to do IVF. Hang in there, it will happen for you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295863 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:53:11 +0000 Jenn23 1295863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: Could you possibly use Clomid? That doesn't cost much and could be an option? Your FSH isn't high (under 10 is good!) and the other things you mentioned are great. And 8 months is about the average, so don't give up hope at all! Do you have coverage for IUI's? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295832 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:28:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 1295832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry that you're feeling down :( But I agree-don't lose hope yet!</p> <p>And BTW, feel free to stop by the weekly IF check-ins. They're super helpful in staying positive, I've found!</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-check-in-1219</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295817 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 15:20:09 +0000 FaithFertility 1295817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with Shutterbug...tons of steps before IVF...hope you can find a road to take soon....best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295184 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:18:50 +0000 spaniellove 1295184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going through research from my clinic and found something that made me think of you. They found that in patients 37 and younger who did 5 or fewer cycles with them not involving IVF, roughly 1/3 of those with FSH greater than 15 had a live birth, whereas roughly 2/3 of those with FSH 8 or lower had pregnancy leading to a live birth in that time frame. </p> <p>8 was considered the normal group (it's not high!) and I think this shows that with minimal interventions at the most your chances are pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295183 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:18:29 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1295183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Thank you so much! A fellow photographer, I see! Are you a professional? I am, in Oregon. I shoot mostly weddings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295174 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:15:10 +0000 Shutterbug 1295174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't be discouraged! 8.58 is actually really great for 35, and it's normal for it to take up to a year even for totally normal healthy people. Plus, there are a bunch of steps in between TTC naturally and IVF :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-feeling-hopeless#post-1295164 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:10:51 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1295164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want to be a whiner, but I'm 35 and have trying for 8+ months. My FSH is 8.58, pretty high. My tubes are clear. Husband has great sperm. We can't afford IVF. I just feel like I'm losing all hope. Anyone else feel this way? </p>
