Infertility Support Group

Hey all,
My name is Lauren, I am 23 years old and have been married for 15 months. My husband and I were both married before so when we started dating and getting serious I knew we would start trying as soon as we were engaged. We were engaged in December of 2010 and Married in February. On December 22 I removed my IUD and we started the process expecting it to happen in just a few months little did I know the road we were starting on. After no results in 6 months I sought the advice of my gynecologist who ran test with nothing but positive results. A few month later we tested my husband. The results were different then we had anticipated. His sperm count was very low, they didn't swim, and were all mis-shapen. We then started a course of treatment after finding that he had an infection in his prostate and testicles. After 2 months of strong antibiotics we were told that he needed to rerun a sperm test. By this time it had been over a year of trying and my husband was starting to get discouraged. We are at a stand still. I am fighting to continue treatment and my husband is slowly starting to loose faith. We are currently living in an area with no fertility clinics nor any specialist.

I came to this blog for support. I am tired of talking to my friends who do not have fertility issues as they tell me that I should just give it time. I am tired of people I am too young to be worried about it. My heart sinks every time I get on Facebook because it seems like every time someone else shows up pregnant. I am at the point that I want to give up trying but know if I do it will not solve any problems. I am at a stand still of what to do next.
