About Me
My husband and have been married for two years now and have been trying to conceive for the last 18 months. We tried on our own for the one year of our marriage but when that didn't happen, we sought out professional help. We have done the initial testing and found that he is normal but it's me with the issues. As a result of testing, we were told that my ovulation reserve is low and my follicle count is also low. The first doctor we saw said that if I get pregnant, I had a high chance of miscarrying which totally took the wind out of my sails. We went to another doctor for a second opinion and his bedside manners were so much better so we decided to make the switch. Although the test results didn't change, it was the way he had presented them that made the difference. He gave us our hope back so we decided to remain with him. He suggested that the initial step was to have my fibroids removed and after the healing was completed, we could begin the ovulation inducing drugs leading to either IUI/IVF. I still have hope that one day I'll be pregnant but some days are definitely a struggle. I'm glad that I found this site because no one knows the struggles of infertility if you haven't experienced them yourself. Thank you for sharing your stories and helping me to cope. Good luck to all of you. :)

Sometimes I get moved to say things and my last journal just flowed from my heart. I'm glad that you got a chance to read it and I'm glad I have a place like DS to share my thoughts.

How are you doing? Things aren't looking so good for me. Looks like the egg donor route for us, but will get all the results in a week or two.

Support Groups
Close Infertility
Type: Other Uterine IssuesTreatments
- HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
- I was scared at first of what to expect but the doctors and staff made me feel comfortable and before i knew it, it was over.
- Hysteroscopy Considering
- Doctor suggested that this was needed before I started the drugs.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Somewhat Helpful
- I did the kits for a couple of months and then made an appt with an infertility doctor when I noticed I wasn't ovulating.
Close Trying To Conceive
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over a year now with no luck. When I wasn't ovulating using the kit, I knew something was wrong. Went to the doctor, took some tests, and now we're beginning the whole Infertility journey. It's been very emotional for me and everywhere I turn, everyone is having babies except me. I'm very depressed and have joined a few support groups including this one to help me cope.
