I had a tough visit to the gyn. this morning for my annual paps. There had to be 20 pregnant women in the waiting room and babies everywhere. That's another reason I like my infertility specialist... you rarely see pregnant women there, obviously.

After my appointment I just sat in the car and cried... wondering how much longer I can deal with this. We're at 8 1/2 years and frankly, I'm just sick of it all. Sometimes, I get to the point of trying to not want kids... For some reason, I seem to think it will be easier to deal with it! I'm sure some of you can identify.

God and I had a talk and I'm doing better now.

We've been taking a break from treatment for about 1.5 years and it has been nice. I think we'll give it one more round of treatments and then make some decisions. I need to have another laparoscopy to check for more endometriosis (since it's been 5 years since my last one) and then we'll probably do another round of fertility meds. Near the end of the year, maybe an IUI, depending on money.

For those of you who are "unexplained infertility" do you ever just wish they'd find something wrong so you can attempt to fix it? I think it is a tough round not knowing.

Hugs to you all today,

IssyMae

first of all, I am so sorry about your appointment, second of all, I am glad you posted this because I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering how your journey was going since you usually dont write about it and I just had you on my mind.  I too sometimes wish they would just find something that will explain why I have miscarried three times because part of me fears them telling me in a few weeks everything looks good because then I have no explanation why.  I know thats when I have to keep trusting my savior.  Im glad your doing a little better now.  I will definitely be praying for you that God will comfort you and guide and direct you and your hubby in the way He wants you to go!  Love, April

I too think that unexplained infertility is one of the hardest things to deal with because there just isn't a definate problem that you can work on. Its so frustrating to be told that we can't find anything wrong, but then not be able to get pregnant. I know that God will bring you his comfort and guidence for the future. Know that your in my prayers, my friend.

I don't know...our "explained" infertility is not something they can really fix....they can try some inseminations procedures, but they can't really fix the problem.  But, you could be right....not knowing could be better than knowing.  ((hugs))

I'm sorry.  We're at 5 yrs with unexplained infertility so I know where you're coming from.   I wish so bad they'd find something wrong so they could fix it and then...........      I keep going back to God is in control and He knows how it hurts and He's right here ready to comfort me.    Hang in there.            Shana

Knowing does help, I think.  Honestly, I've felt so much more at peace since our RE told us what our problems were.  Of course I still fight battles with it, but there aren't quite as many questions floating around.  I have always thought that the worst part of infertility is the not knowing.  Not knowing if the end of the road is going to picture a baby or not. 

I'm sorry you had a rough day.  Praying for you.

First of all thank you so much for your words over the last few days... They have helped me so much...  I'm so sorry about your visit to the OBGYN they are always so hard when you are surrounded by pregnant women...  I frequently get asked when I'm due when I go to my doc since he sees everyone in all areas of this kind of thing.  I will step up my prayers for you both as you start this next phase of TTC and pray that God will bring you peace and the strength to keep going...  and if it's in His will... your miricle...

It is tough not knowing.  My gyn. is the same as my infertility doctor.  I've only just started going to her so I haven't seen the preggo patients but it seems that everyone around me is pg.  My prayers are with you.

I'm praying for you.  We had "unexplained infertility" and I felt the same way.  Just frustrated that they couldn't find anything wrong and I had no reason why we couldn't concieve.  Just know that I am praying for you and I understand.  *hugs*
