I'm 30 years old my husband and I been ttc for 5 years no success at all. I was diagnosed with pcos when I was about 18,I ignored it and continued depo. Not having no knowledge on pcos or wanting children, I thought nothing of Pcos Bout 3 years later, I met the love of my life and all of the feelings of not wanting children, went out the window. December 2011 we decided and was referred by obgyn to infertile specialist. First appointment January 2012, we started clomid 100mg and hcg injection we did that faburary, march, and April 2012. With the clomid having my moods all over the place, we took a break may and June 2012.. Trying naturally.... July we started back, moving on to IUI july 13, 2012. ( unsuccessful) we are scheduled for IUI this week...fingers crossed.... P.s good luck to you

Hi Tracy,

It is a very tough situation. You don't want your husband to feel bad, but you also should not cause yourself suffering by keeping infertility a secret. I'm glad you found us! There are many women (and men) on Fertile Thoughts who will support and encourage you. I wish you the best of luck and really hope things work out for you this cycle!

Best,
Kim

Waitn4Blessing,

It is so difficult and so frustrating when you learn that you can't just decide what month you want to TTC. I have seven friends that are pregnant right now and I am going to ANOTHER baby shower this weekend. They make comments like how they tried and got pregnant on the month that the Chinese Birth Calendar said they'd have a boy or girl. I wish it was that easy for me! I am so happy for them, but at the same time...I want to be sharing the same experiences.

I can't imagine trying for five years...I am going crazy at the two year mark. A very hard part of this journey is past you now...you have met with your fertility specialist and you are on track with a solution...for now. It was difficult just finding a good fertility doctor, working out the kinks with insurance, filling out all the paperwork and getting ALL the testing done, etc. I know I feel better now just knowing that I am finally at the point where we can start "trying" and I'm sure you are too.

Please keep me posted about your IUI...I would love to even hear about how you feel after and during the two week waiting period. I go in for my blood test on the 28th to see if I am pregnant or not...so I have some time still. Good luck to you too! Stay positive. :-)

Thanks Kim...I do have a close girlfriend of mine that I have confided with...this whole process is just so stressful! It's nice to have this website to reach out to others and hear about their experiences as well.

Thanks for reaching out. :-)
