Hi ladies! I used to be involved on this months ago but needed some time away.
Background- I am 27. Went through 6 iui' shot pregnant on the 3rd but it ended in ectopic. After the 6th Iui I decided to take the summer off and wanted to do IVF in the fall. Well the money needed for IVF we don't have and it's completely OOP.
Present time- I'm ok with not doing any fertility treatments and I'm ok if me being a mom isn't in my cards. Would I love to have a family of course! Am I ok only having it just be me and my husband and trips and wine all the time yes.
So my question is- where do I belong if I'm not doing any treatments, I'm dealing with infertility and I'm ok with if I never become a mom? I need a place where your sick of going through treatments, you're upset every month and you're just over it and want to live your life.
Wow. Sorry about my extremely long post. Holy rant.

There's a board called "Child Free: And Not By Choice"...maybe there? I'm not sure, I haven't visited...but it's worth checking out. Are you still trying, even without treatment? If so, I don't see why you couldn't stick around here...just make sure you put a warning in your title if you mention a pregnancy. Just as a heads up for those having a difficult day :-)
I'm sorry to hear you had a rough journey but I wish you lots of luck.

Thanks @brittneyandadam! We are kind of trying. I'm not tempting or using OPK's just HIO when we feel like it but obviously not preventing.

I don't see why not Plenty of ladies who are benched long-term post here, and it's not like you have to be active with treatments to post. The Child Free is also good, although I know the posts on there aren't quite as frequent.
