I don’t know about that. I’m not sure I agree with your ideas. I’ll just agree to disagree. Thanks…for the post.

Hello ladies,
I had to laugh and then cry…
If you think you are alone ….think again….
I have no fertility issues and neither does my DH, but we have a genetic mutation that we needed to test for prior to transfer… so my crazy self was thinking hey… 21K and I should be pregnant with twins and set for life…
24 eggs, were retrieved, and two days later down to 2 and on day 5 …opps your 21K went down the sink…you have nothing to transfer….
You think I cried… I sure did, I nearly lost my mind….and to top it off to hear my best friend whom I have been pregnant with 3 times and she managed to have hers say…its ok you can try again right????
I wanted to break that phone…yah…right.
Ladies welcome to the world of hope…

It’s great to see that other women can relate to this because it can be all-consuming and devastating, but at least we can share it with others which is sort of healing in its own right. Good luck with IUI and the Follistim pen–I had some funny episodes with that thing but it’s not a waste of time–in fact, it’s a good place to start and much cheaper than IVF!

I hear you. Infertility sucks big time. I had three couples pregnant with twins in my friendship circle, one of them my colleague who did IVF after she saw us do it and thought it wasn’t so bad after all. She is now the proud mom to one-year-olds.
Fortunately after three failed IVF cycles we decided to follow the adoption route and have been blessed with a beautiful daughter last year. But man, I can tell you, there is still this longing to be pregnant inside me. To just wonder one day why I didn’t have my period for such a long time, take a pee-stick and be excited about a surprise pregnancy. Unfortunately if we ever get pregnant, it will most likely involve needles and surgeries and won’t be a fun night of passion, but hard work…

What a great idea to start this blog!!! I feel like there are so many things that I want to say but that the people around me that have never been thru infertility will think I am crazy!! This whole process consumes me and everytime I sit down at the computer I am constantly looking search for hope on the web!! We are starting our first round of Follistim with an IUI and my biggest fear is that it is going to be a waste of time, that we should just go to IVF! Hopefully someday we will all look back on this time in our life and laugh at how crazy we were!

OMG-thank you so much for sharing that story-I can relate, I can relate, I can relate! My best friend and I went through IVF at the exact same time, we were so excited and shared every detail together but the most unimaginable thing happened, she got pregnant right away and I didn’t!! I was dying with jealousy! I’m ashamed to say that for 6 months I could not look her in the face-it was the most horrible time of my life. And, her shower was the icing on the cake! It slowly gets better and I do feel hopeful and thank you for creating this forum for all of us who wish to be mommies!
