UPDATE: Well yet another disappointing doctors appointment :( they are not able to correct the blockage to my fallopian tubes so IVF is now our only option. I’m really just tired of all this and insensitive coworkers that don’t know when to keep their mouth shut. I powered through and made through the entire work day and going to dinner with a family friend that we only see about every other year. Maybe one day.

Just when I thought we were finally on the right track with our fertility. A little back story, after 18 months of TTC with no success, my husband and I were sent for testing. They found his sperm count to be low due to chemicals he was exposed to in Iraq. After long discussions and working in financing options, we found a fertility specialist a few hours away. Going in prepared for selecting

IUI

as our course of treatment, since all my tests had come back normal, the doctor has actually developed a new cutting edge technology that allows him to check the condition of the Fallopian tubes. Last week we went for that test and to set up our

IUI

. Much to our disappointment it was found that in addition to his low sperm count, both of my tubes are completely blocked and my egg count and quality are poor. I can’t help but think why me, what did we do to deserve this, we both have good jobs, a great support system and waited till we were in the right place in our lives to start a family. I can’t even get on social media anymore for the pregnancy announcements and baby pictures. And the cherry 🍒 on top of the f*** you sundae, his 17 year old niece has a baby with a drug addict boyfriend that neither of them can afford to care for, neither having jobs or high school diplomas and have the nerve to ask us for money.
