Baby photos

We need encouragement on this fertility board. (At least I do.) I have been thinking about all of the women who have gone before me here, and who now have babies to show for their frustrating stay on the fertility board. So I have a proposal: Would all of the women who have graduated from this board please consider posting a picture of your baby? It can be anonymous or whatever, but I think it would help me to see all of the success in a tangible way. I guess it could bother some women, but they could just not look at the thread.
I think it could be a sort of living, tangible form of encouragement, that reminds us that although we are feeling stuck and hopeless, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even better: there is a baby there!
What do y'all think?

I sneak over to the pregnancy boards to see the pregnant bellies and the babies that are born!!! So, I would like that ray of hope ....

I also sneak over to the pregnancy boards and looks at the belly pics. It use to be hard for me but since I have pasted what would have been my due date and I know I "shouldn't" be pregnant anymore it just gives me something to look forward too. I think it sounds like a neat idea. I always look at the pics in my dr. office and dream of my baby pic being up there.

I had another idea...:idea:
Moms: could you also please tell us in your post what you think it was that helped you to get your BFP??
If you aren't comfortable with the photo idea, you could just tell us about your success.
Thank you so much!!!

I do more than sneak over the pregnancy board. I'm a full-fledged poster over there too. lol I don't care, seeing those pg bellies and hearing their birth stories is inspiring. Baby dust ladies! We'll be posting over there together!

Hi girls! I will start with a picture of my little man and maybe a few other mamas will join me

Here he is when he was first born...

And here he is now...

I got preggo with him after 3 years of TTC on our own, then 3 rounds of Clomid, then 1 round of Clomid + IUI, then our final attempt with Femara + IUI.

He is truly our miracle. HANG IN THERE GIRLS!!! You WILL get your BFP's soon!!!! Just know that we have all been there and some longer than others, but we all know what it is like going through the ups and downs.

Thank you so much Carleigh! Your son is amazing!

The day she was born

Here's Lily now

Sorry photobucket isn't letting me resize right now.

We tried on our own for 11 months before I was dx with PCOS. I got pregnant my 2nd round of Clomid 50mg and Metformin 1700mg.

Good luck to each one of you!!

Thanks for giving me some hope as I start my first clomid pill tomorrow! To me, it is not hurtful at all to see baby pics. It is inspiring! I hear and read all of the negative and I need to see that women with PCOS have babies all the time!

Thank you ladies for sharing. Your babies are beautiful. What sweeties! Jessica, you'll be joining us again on the fertility boards then? Looking forward to talking with you more. God Bless your beauties!
