Hi - I just wanted to share my story with you all as having been on these forums gave me hope when nothing seemed to be working. \r\nAfter a diagnosis of PID when I was 21 an ill informed doctor told me I would probably never get pregnant. I was devastated but decided to start trying when I was 28 and married. For 6 months nothing worked and I had various losses. I was then referred to a speacialist at my local hospital who booked me in for a laparoscopy. During this procedure they found that one of my tubes was ruined and that I was not ovulating. \r\nThey prescribed Clomid - I didn't respond on the lower dose (50 mg) so they raised the dose to 100 for my next cycle. Still nothing seemed to be happening - no eggs and my HCG and other levels were - as the nurse said 'all over the place'. They decided to perform ovulation drilling when my day 28 bloods came back and said I had ovulated (my levels were 56). However I was having an unusual reaction to the drugs - 14 - 17 day bleeds. The hospital told me that I had to stop taking the Clomid whilst they took me in for a hysteroscopy to determine the cause of the abnormal bleeding. At this point everything looked absolutely hopeless. \r\nOn my third and last (because of the scheduled op) cycle of clomid I bled on day 29 - it was heavy and lasted for 2 days. I took this to be my period - so you can imagine my absolute amazement when I went for my pre-op and they did a routine pregnancy test that came back positive! \r\nI am currently 11 weeks into a vert scary pregnancy and even though we have seen baby 3 times and everything seems fine it seems a miracle to me that I am actually pregnant. \r\nIf it helps any of you I lost weight, had weekly accupuncture whilst on the clomid and re-discoverd a book by Louise L Hay called 'You Can Heal Your Life'. The book is all about positive affirmations and believing that anything is possible. It was great for me after all the years of being told I COULDNT get pregnant because thats what I had begun to believe myself - that I would never get pregnant. This helped me to see my destructive thought patterns and how I made them reality by telling myself 'this wont work'. It may not work for you but I firmly believe this helped me concieve. May be coincidence but I also ate a punnet of cherries a day the month I fell pregnant! Every little helps. \r\nGood luck to all of you - I hope you have the angels you deserve.
