Hello everyone

Just wondering if there is anyone from Canada on this board? I am from BC, Canada.

I am 30 year old female from Delta, British Columbia. I love reading, playing on the puter, hanging with friends and family and playing with my four dogs. Currently trying to have a baby with spouse of 7 years. Drop me a line if you would like to chat some time. Cheers.

Hello, how are you doing?
My husband and I are also trying to conceive our first child. I am 32 years old. Do you have any special condition?

Would love to hear from you.
Take care,

Marcelle

Hello fellow Canadian
Glad to hear from someone else in BC. Where about's in BC are you? I am in Delta.

I just went through my 2nd IUI and according to my hpt today it looks like I will be headed for a third. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad I was hoping it would happen this month but no such luck. I am really bummed out.

As for conditions as far as I know I don't have any. I was having a problem with my cycles going longer than they should but they put me on clomid and that took care of it. Other than that everything looks good.

What about you do you have any conditions? I am so worried that this won't happen for me and I will go without a child. I can afford to buy three more donor sperm units but after that I will have to figure out how to come up with another $1100. Embarassed Embarassed

How long have you been trying? Are you using donor sperm?

Hello..
I live in Quesnel, near Prince George (a small town in Northern BC), but I am originally from Brazil. My husband (who is a Canadian) had a vasectomy reversal last March in Vancouver and we would consider donor as our last option, but for now we will keep trying to conceive our own baby. Most doctors say that is still early for us to expect great results as sperm takes time to learn how to 'swim' again after a reversal. Hopefully we won't need the help of a donor because I am not really ready for that. Are you married? Where did you have the IUI done? I know about Genegis Fertility Clinic. It seems to be a great clinic.

I had a lot of fertility tests done prior to the reversal, just to make sure everything was ok with me and as far as I know I don't have any problems. I had some blood tests done in order to check my levels of: LH, FSH & Progesterone and I also had another painful test done, called hysterosalpingogram or simply HSG, to see if my falopian tubes were open. Have you heard of it? Did you have it done prior to your IUI?

Anyway, I wish you luck. I know how expensive these treatments can be. We spent almost $6,000 for the vas. reversal, so I can't imagine spending more for fertility treatments. Hopefully we will be blessed with a child some day.


Bye for now and take good care of yourself.
Marcelle Very Happy
