Hi everyone, let me start off by saying I have never posted in a group like this before but have read other people's posts and love all the support and comfort passed on.

I'm 34 and DH is almost 39, we have been ttc for a few years and finally started seeing doctors about it about 2 1/2 years ago. We found out last year our issue seems to be low morphology and after all those lovely tests i felt overwhelmed and took a break from doctors. We started back at our RE this year in the spring and have just finished our 3rd iui last weekend. Our first iui was natural, 2nd was with femara and 3rd was puregon injections and now I'm on suppositories twice daily. We are hoping and praying that 3rd times a charm but slowly losing faith, our next option would be IVF if we can figure out financing. Well that's our story and thank you for letting me share. ❤

    @CopperLane thank you, we really hope so too! And it's so true about people around us, sometimes the only place I feel comfortable is when I'm at the clinic knowing the ladies there get it, is that weird?

    I've found that opening up to family/friends about our struggles is more detrimental. It's either they don't understand but think they know everything and tell you what you are doing is wrong, or they don't understand and try to say something helpful but end up saying something hurtful instead. Not all reactions have been bad but it's been hurtful enough that I don't open up about it anymore, except here :)
