My husband and I have been trying for almost 5 years and have never had a BFP. Our struggles are all me which only makes me feel like a complete and total failure. I feel so horrible for letting my husband down. He tries to stay supportive but it is also very hard on him, he wants a family. We both lacked a functional/semi-normal childhood and want nothing more than to provide a little one with what did did not have.
The problems: I have endometriosis and I do not ovulate which are secondary to a pancreatic condition that I was born with.
We have struggled with the lack of insurance coverage (our insurance does not have any infertility coverage).
We have tried: charting, clomiphene, acupuncture, diet, supplements, decreasing exercise (I can be a bit obsessive), surgery, Traditional Chinese Medicine and most recently IVI. If we are not successful we will move on to either surrogacy (if I get up the courage to ask a friend) or I will risk it and try IVF.
I feel the panic setting in as I get older I'm 36 and my husband is 42.
A good friend recommended this book and the more I looked in to it the more I realized there are a lot of us who are hurting from infertility and I hope that this will help us deal with the hurt and replace the hurt with hope.
