Hi everyone :)

Hi all,

My name is Julia, my husband and I have been TTC for 1 year and 8 months. We have unexplained infertility. Thus far we have done 4 IUIs. First two without meds, second two I have been on letrozole (tried clomid and it made me hallucinate). Our last IUI was this past Wednesday so we are in the TWW period. My RE is having me take progesterone this time as well from now until wheb i test. If this IUI fails we will move on to IVF. We went to an educational class on IVF a few weeks ago, which our dr requires before setting up a consult with them for IVF. It's overwhelming and terrifying but we are willing to do anything!

This journey is so hard but I am thankful for a hubby who is so understanding and patient, an insurance that covers fertility treatment, a flexible job where I can leave here and there for appointments and a faithful God who loves me. It's hard sometimes to not be angry with God going through something like this and it's hard to not question why we can't get pregnant and why so many others do. The truth though is that God does have a plan for each and every one of us and his promise in Romans 8:28 reminds me that he is for us not against us "and we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose"

Blessings to all of you who are going through this horrible rollercoaster that none of us want to be on, I would love to get to know some of you and pray for you

Hello! I'm a newbie as well. I also have struggled not to be angry with God, why do so many people have babies who don't want them? Why do so many couples have surprises or conceive from a one night stand when others can't even when they are totally ready and want a child more than anything?
I'm trying to have faith, you are a good example to me off keeping the faith! God has a plan.

So glad to hear you have infertility coverage on your insurance. That's a huge blessing.

Sending baby vibes your way!

Hi I'm also a newbie my husband and I have been trying for 14 months. I have PCOS and have been on clomid along with metformin. This month is our first round of IUI with femara. Praying this works for us but trying to not get my hopes too high because I don't want to be crushed if it doesn't work the first time. I know, easier said than done lol. I too have struggled with feelings of anger and resentment towards others who get pregnant without even trying. Especially those who can't take care of themselves let alone a child. But we have to stay positive and know that there is a purpose for this. And I do honestly believe that going through all of this is only going to make me a much better mother. I will not take one single day for granted and will cherish that little one once they are here. I try to be thankful for all the blessings I do have- a wonderful, loving husband, a job I love, a beautiful home and 3 fur babies I love with all my heart Good luck to both of you ladies ! Praying we all get the bundle of joy we are desperately waiting for

I too have infertility coverage. The only thing not covered is IVF. I'm a dental hygienist and one of my patients has PCOS as well. They have been trying for 8 years naturally with no luck. They don't have good insurance and no fertility treatments are covered. They can't afford them either so she is trying naturally and adjusting diet and exercise. My heart breaks for her bc she desperately wants a child. It made me so thankful to have insurance that covers for us to be able to see an RE and meds and IUIs. I can't imagine how awful this process would be to not be able to afford to get help from doctors. Once again, something to be thankful for

@jclaire2 Good luck to you! We're on similar schedules 2ww-wise. I triggered last Sunday, so I should have O'd Tuesday and am expecting to know by HPT on 9/22. I believe God has a plan for us all, and my infertility journey has happened for a reason. I just wish he would let me in on that reasoning ! I hope you get your BFP this month!!

@ashleyrush87 Welcome! I also hope your stay here is short and sweet and you get your BFP with your first IUI. Have you had your IUI yet? If so, when is AF due/when is your scheduled beta (my doc only has me come in for beta if HPT is positive)? If not, do you have an anticipated date for your IUI?

Edited: my phone jumping to the end of the post confused me, and I thought it was ashelyrush's intro. I also wanted to add something for the OP!!!

Thanks everyone for replying! It's so great to have a little community to share with! I hope that some day I will know the reason why this is happening to us, but for now I can say that I know God is making me stronger through this and drawing me closer to Him through it as well. I'm now 1 week away from testing (not like I'm counting or anything) and trying so hard to keep a peaceful heart!! You all are in my prayers and on my heart, so much baby dust and love to you all ❤️❤️❤️

@jclaire2 you sound really optimistic and hopeful which is awesome! I have unexplained infertility too and I hate this diagnosis.
Our second IUI is soon, this weekend or early next week. I'm nervous because we've been trying over 3 years, but with RE since December 2014.
