Claire, I tried for 9 years to get pregnant because I wasted my time with OBGYN. I finally went to a reproductive endocrinologist and now have a 3 year old son and 18 month old son. I did injections of metrodin and the second child I did injections of fertinex to ovulate. It was expensive, but worth it. I was pregnant with twins the second pregnancy, but lost one at 11 weeks. They called it a vanishing twin. At any rate, I have two precious boys that I never thought I would have. I went through a lot of depression and doubt. Have faith, and change doctors if you don't feel you getting the proper care. It is very hard to watch everyone but you have babies. I hated pregnant people for a long time. I worked in ICU with 7 pregnant nurses. I was so depressed that I didn't even know I was depressed! My best friend who had three children finally suggested that I seek treatment for the depression. It helped, but the best help was finding someone who understood my disease and treating me appropriately. An added benefit, I didn't gain weight during the pregnancies and lost over 20 pounds that stayed off the year that I nursed. Unfortunately, it's back now, but that's another story. Good luck and try to cheer up. I find that spring cleaning my entire house helped me feel better. I also felt better when I went to the tanning bed, something to do with the lights. My hair didn't look as thin when my head wasn't so white. Angie
