My wife and I tried to have a baby for over 2 years. The fertility clinics I went to in Europe and Canada said that we couldn’t have a child. There was apparently a problem with a low motility rate of my sperm. My wife studied the net for months and we tried a number of different products. Finally we tried something called “Fertile Male” from Lane Labs in DC. To make a long story short we have two healthy sons aged 4 and 5. Wife thinks it’s more because we spent a week relaxing in Greece both times.

After ttc for about 7 months, I started to think I may be having some infertility issues. I began taking prenatal vitamins nov.2010 to ensure I had all the vitamins I needed to produce a healthy baby, if I eventually did get pregnant. I began having pregnancy symptoms but i thought it may be premenstrual symptoms since they’re so similar. I took a pregnancy test and sure enough it was POSITIVE! I was so excited until about 4 weeks into the pregnancy I was diagnosed with a “molar pregnancy” with no sac visible on the ultrasound at about 3500 HCG, which wasnt a normal or viable pregnancy. I then agreed to have a D&C the next day (which was today). I was put to sleep and the procedure is painless. I’m still devastated but with much support from my husband, family, and friends I think I’ll be fine. I’m so afraid to try again
