Hi All,
I've posted on here a time or two, and am just feeling like I need to express a few things about my TTC journey.
My Hubby and I decided to TTC December 18th of 2013. I had 6 months left of my college program and was set to graduate in June.
We BD'd every day for two months - no success.
from there I went to an OB-GYN who sent me for hormonal testing - All is well.
Being told there is nothing wrong when you can't seem to conceive is very frustrating. Gain weight they said. Well my mum conceived when she was 90 lbs, and I've a friend or two who have done the same. I can't make it past 115 lbs so that's not really a feasible thing...
Anywho..... Friends and family members got pregnant and had their babies, and we still have not.
Now we're in 2016, began testing at the fertility clinic in April, all is good, tubes are open, no issues for me. Ovulation day 16, BD's within recommended time frames, still nothing.....
His morphology is abnormal, and his motility is a bit low but the specialist did not seem concerned. Prescribed some suppliments but hubby is forgetful......
I did one round on Femara in June, and have since stopped going.
Let me tell you, trying to conceive takes the fun out of sex, when you feel like if you don't do it you are single handedly ruining your chances if you're not in the mood.
We've since decided to focus on work, and love, and our sex life vs trying to make a baby, but when your coworker, your cousin, your brother and a good number of your friends are on Baby number two in the span of time you've been trying to conceive, it is very difficult to convince yourself that your single goal in life isn't to start a family.
I am trying to fight the sadness that comes with learning another couple is pregnant, as I would not wish infertility on anyone, but I am left wondering - When will it be my turn?
So for anyone who is feeling this way, you are not alone.
Thanks for listening!
