It is a frustrating journey especially when people who don't want or aren't planning children get pregnant without trying.

Like you, my husband and I waited until we were ready for children to begin trying. We thought we would be excellent parents since we were emotionally and financially ready for kids. I mistakenly assumed that getting pregnant would be pretty easy-I was just past 30 and it seemed like so many women were having children in their 30s these days. So we booked a trip to Washington D.C. to our favorite hotel and I figured a couple weeks later I might have some good news. When it didn't happen that first month I was a little disappointed, but knew that it really could take a little time to get it right. As the months passed by and nothing was happening I became discouraged. I started researching fertility docs and my husband just kept saying everything would eventually work out. Well, I finally called a Dr. one day and scheduled an appointment. After meeting with her and having some blood tests and a surprise internal ultrasound (Yikes-I thought I was just going in for a consult ) my infertility journey had begun! And what a journey it was! Mine was considered "unexplained infertility" because nothing seemed to be physically wrong-as if that makes things easier-haha. Several rounds of drugs, injectibles and IUIs later I was unsure how we would fulfill our desire to have a child. I too heard many of the same "relax" comments by those who didn't understand. I did happen upon a woman that I worked with that was going through it also and we became each other's support through the tough times. I finally made a decision to do IVF as the Dr thought we would be a good candidates since the entire process is so controlled. Thankfully it worked on our first try and our daughter is almost 3! Most of the time I don't really think about what we went through to get her, until I read stories like your own and then I remember. And, although it was tough it was worth it! Hang in there and know you are most certainly not alone. It is a subject that needs more people talking about it-women need each other's support in the journey to become a mom!Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838625907377357191.post-62238924410704071472012-09-04T20:23:40.454-04:002012-09-04T20:23:40.454-04:00Thank you for reading!

I did finally get pregnant but nobody could tell me what took so long. Now, my son is two and I am in the same boat again. Now they call it "secondary infertility" and this time they know what the problem is. I just started my first round of hormones. <br />Thank you for sharing your story. My thoughts and prayers are with you. <br /><br />Courtney<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838625907377357191.post-20162886140401435992012-09-04T09:37:27.206-04:002012-09-04T09:37:27.206-04:00I am so sorry.

I pray that one day you hold your precious little one in your arms and in remembering the journey, you will be able to just revel in the sweet reward that was worth it all. May the rest of this stretch be so much shorter than it has been. I know how the months drag and each one feels longer than the the last.
