Hi Ladies,
I was a silent reader in this thread last year when I was trying very hard for a baby. Below were some posts which I posted under the Support Group-Infertilty thread. I hope it can inspire you ladies not to give up and continue trying! All the best

Hi Everyone,
I hv been a silent reader in this thread for a while.
I got married in 2005 but only started trying end 2006. After 1 yr+ without good news, we decided to to go for check-up. My hubby's semen test results turned out bad. Low count, low motility and only 1% morphology. The gynae whom I was seeing advised that we shld not waste time and shld consult a fertility doctor asap.
I am now seeing Dr S C Ng at Gleneagles. He is a very nice, patient and fatherly doctor. Due to my hubby's condition, we were told that I will only hv 1% chance to conceive naturally, 4% with IUI and 40% for IVF-ICSI. Though IVF-ICSI seems to be the best option for us, he still suggested that we shld give IUI a try for at least twice becoz it is a simpler process and also cheaper. If failed, then we shld proceed to IVF-ICSI.

Sorry....my message is too long..can't seem to put up in 1 post.
My hubby is given vitamins and supplements and we are planning to do IUI in June.
I cried a few times that day after our doctor visit. I can't accept the fact that we need to go thru IVF at our age (we are 31). I always thought that IVF is for those 40+. WHY must I bear such pains to have a baby? WHY having a baby is so difficult? WHY does it happen to me? I love kids and we want kids but WHY we can’t have them? WHY other people who dun want them can have them by accidents?
Yes, the feelings is worse when u see friends and colleagues (who are older than u) getting pregnant so easily. In fact I was jealous and miserable. I know I shouldn't but I just can't help it....
We have decided not to tell our parents yet. Will go for the IUI 1st and see how......

Thanks, gals.
Guess unless one is in our situation, otherwise they will never know how we feel.
Went to get my medication on Sat for my IUI in June. Hope I can be successful this mth so that I dun need to go thru IUI or IVF.....haiz.

to my pleasant surpise, just 2wks before our IUI appt, I manage to conceive naturally!!! I was elated and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the +ve sign on the pregnancy test kit! And I even tested a few times till the fact sinks in!!!
I just delivered a 3.7 kg baby boy last month and am enjoying motherhood now despite the tiring & sleepless nites
So gals, pls DO NOT give up trying & miracles could happen to u just like me..... I was v v v lucky to hit the 1% chance to conceive
ALL THE BEST!
