ill tell you the story and then see if anyone can tell me where to go from here.
for 6 years we tried for a baby with no luck we got free help from a specialist who gave me a pill called clomid 2 months later i was expecting our first baby.8 months after out first baby was born i found out i was preggie again with no help needed.it just happened :)
all is great we have 2 healthy children but for the last 7 years we have wanted one more baby.
we have been back to the hospital had 6 more tries with clomid and still we cant get preggie.they cant give me any more clomid as it can couse cancer so they refered me to a infertility centre we had to end up canceling the appointment a year ago as we just cant afford those prices
ive been told i would only need very basic treament as theres no medical reason i cant get preggie.im in uk so the nhs is free but as i have 2 children i cant get it dont on the nhs.
no matter how many children we have the want for a baby is just as great as when i didnt have any i am depressed to say the least as now i feel theres no more help left for us and i dont know which way to turn or what to try next im 33 so i also feel time is against me big time

Many women now a days experience "unexplained infertility" and are perfectly healthy. The reason is unknown, some doctors feel the desire of another baby can put stress on the body which makes it difficult. My Aunt went through three years of unable to concieve, she had every test and Medication, the doctor finnally told her to give up(it was a physcological ploy)he told her for some reason it is just not going to happen and just forget about it. She was sad and accepted that was that, Three months later she was preganant with the first of four babies. The doctor laughed and said it worked,it was the stress and deep desire to have a child that put her system in shock. Another option to help increase the odds of concieving is a Folic Acid supplement in your viamin section(inexpensive),women who take a Folic Acid supplement greatly increase their odds of concieveing,I would try this as well. I wish you luck and the Best advice I can say is relax and let it happen, if it's meant to be then it will be, usually when you least expect it.Best wishes to you!

I don't mean to seem harsh.....but just be thankful for the two you have.There are a lot of woman out there....including myself....that never had the chance to even have one child.....how do you think we feel?
So why be depressed about it.....you have been blessed with more than some of us could hope for.

well if you think that money wise, time wise, there's nothing more to do, id say just be thankful that you have 2 healthy children so far compared to those who were really not given any... but before losing hope, try to exhaust your available resources (and spare some to your established family's future)... and again, if there is really no other way... pray.. if He does not grant that longing of yours, there must be some good reason...
so again, good luck and have a happy life!!
