i've been trying for 3 years now for a baby, and i've had 3 miscarriages. my doctor says anyone trying for a year without success is considered infertile. i have friends who have been told they were infertile, but had children anyway. i carried each pregnancy for more than two months. does anyone have any advice for me? there is nothing i want more in this world than to have a child. if i have to adopt, i will, but i really want to have my own!!

Did your doctor refer you to a specialist? He should have because you need to see one.

I am not a professional in how the reproductive system works, but I'll tell you my opinion Smile First of all, if you have been pregnant and not been able to carry the pregnancy to 9 months, you are obviously not infertile, or you wouldn't have been pregnant at all. Has your doctor done any fertility testing? If your doctor doesn't know what else to do, I would find someone else. Atleast explain your situation to them and get a second opinion.

You Can Get Help
Hello,
I just read your post and I know that it is so stressful with the words infertility coming out of a doctors mouth! First of all, I would suggest to make sure you get a second opinion. Sometimes doctors can overlook diagnosis and there are many women who have had children after recurrent miscarriages. They should have done tests also to see if you have any type of immune disorder that makes you miscarry.

Secondly, as an Acupuncturist I would recommend going to an Acupuncturist who specializes in women's health. From another medical perspective, there are other modalities that can help diagnose and treat you if you are getting pregnant but miscarrying. Don't give up there is help out there and good luck!

have you had hormone testing done? you may need progesterone therapy. if your body isn't making enough progesterone, you won't be able to sustain a pregnancy.
