Hi I am new here.  I wanted to know if anyone has any advice for me.  My husband and I have been trying for three yrs this April.  I have unexplained infertility.  I have taken clomid, had a procedure done to see if my tubes were blocked, they weren't, that was over a year ago, still nothing.  I just need advice on how some of you deal with this, everyday, mothers day, your siblings having children and my young cousins who aren't married just out of school getting pregnant.  I just don't understand and I need someone to talk to that has experienced what I am going through.


I would love to here from someone


Thanks Brooke

Brooke,


In my opinion dealing with IF is hard and we all have our good/bad days.

Welcome, Brooke.


I don't know what I can add to the pp's, but just to reinforce to find a good RE & OB/GYN and get the facts so you can know your options.


As far as coping, the best thing I know is to come to these boards to learn from our peers and share support.

Hi Brooke - We have been trying for about a year and a half. I recently went through testing, hsg, my tubes are open. Also internal u/s, showed a cyst, but they don't think this is an issue. I keep wondering why I am not pregnant yet. Then I read posts of women who have lost pregnancies, and as sad as I am for them, I realize maybe I should take a deep breath and believe that it will happen for me. I am going to be 36 in a couple weeks, so age is a factor. I guess my advice is to try and relax and believe it will happen. And if it doesn't happen, try and be ok with it, because sometimes no matter how much we want something, there is a reason that it doesn't happen. I used to get so upset when AF would come each month, but then I decided that I couldn't do that to myself. Mothers Day is hard. Hearing about others becoming pregnant is hard. Being happy for others is hard, but I try to be a good person, hoping that if I am, maybe something good will happen for me.

Hi Lisa,


Just wanted to tell you that my boss had the same problem as we do and her and her hubby tried for 6 months I think and she just had her baby 2 months ago, she is also 36 years old.

Brooke,


I can't imagine them telling me that it was unexplained.
