Feeling Hopeless - SAIFW

The title of this post pretty much says it all.  I feel like I'm spinning my wheels with this IF stuff with no end in sight.  The doctor is so confident, but sometimes I just don't buy it and wonder if we should start infertility treatments sooner than later.  AF came last Tuesday and I had initially had a really good feeling about this cycle.  Let down, as usual. 

Thanks for listening.

    There are definitely times when I feel hopeless....I'm so sorry that it feels that way for you also. I wouldn't wish that feeling on most people. LoL (there are a choice few who I wouldn't mind wishing it on)

    I think you should go with your first instinct. I've decided that I'm taking control of my IF, and not leaving it up to my dr, who would put me back on BCP. Good luck to you in whatever you decide!

    I am so sorry you are feeling this way.  Month after month of let down is no fun.  Have you considered getting another opinion?  Not sure how 'easy' that is - if you have another reputable doc in your area and if DH would be up for seeing someone new.  I also say go with your gut.  Hang in there.  We are here, we are hope.

    I'm sorry, it's so unfair that that you have to go through such a difficult struggle.  I agree with pp to go with you instinct and seek a second opinion.  That is what I did almost a year ago, when my OB/GYn refused to do an HSG and told me everything was fine and there was no need to do one until I had TWO ectopics. No thank you.  You do need to take control of IF treatments and feel confident in your doctor. 

    I will say that there are a lot of options for you with ART, if it comes to that, which I hope for you it doesn't.  Good luck with whatever next step you take,

    Thank you for your responses.  I'm so glad that I found this board.  Although I hate that anyone should have to go through IF, it's nice to know that I'm not all alone.  This is a very lonely place to be at times.

    I had a good cry this morning on my husband's shoulder.  He was very reassuring and supportive about it all which is helpful. 

    It's not that I don't trust our doctor either, I just get confused about stuff.  I think that we'lll wait to see what my husband's next SA does and then go from there.  I might even make a consultation appointment with an RE this week for after our follow-up with the urologist since they usually take awhile to get into.
