New to infertility

erashoerasho member
in Infertility
Well, I never saw myself being here, but I guess no one does! I talked to my PCP in March and she told me to go see a specialist. I did the HSG and found out both tubes were blocked, one with fluid. In July they removed my right tube. Then in Sept I found out my best friend is pregnant! It has been so hard! I hate feeling this way. We plan on starting IVF in March and I'm already scared about possibly getting bad news. I'm trying to stay positive. Is this normal?

    Yes, you are completely normal! I had a HSG as well and found out I have a unicornuate uterus. Shortly after, my sister-in-law got pregnant right away and has been rubbing it in my face. So, I know how you feel. It's hard and quite frankly it sucks and feels unfair.

    It's okay to feel bummed and negative, but try to mix it with positives. IVF can have great success rates and one way or the other, you'll be a mom. And you'll be a mom at the right time, whether or not that feels like it right now.

    Try yoga. It has really helped me relax and get rid of my anger! :) Best of luck to you!

    @erasho welcome! I hope you do not have to stay here for long.

    This journey SUCKS, but the women here are amazing.

    We have been going strong with diagnosis and treatments for 3 long years and will most likely be moving on to IVF this winter/spring. We have a visit w it our RE on Thursday to talk about it.

    Welcome @erasho!  Pretty much all of my friends seem to get pregnant their very first (or second) month of trying so I know EXACTLY how you feel.  It isn't fair, but infertility is far more common than we even realize.  It's just a lonely thing to deal with :( IVF has really wonderful success rates so even though it feels hopeless, there is hope.  GL to you!!
