Officially discouraged

1. I know it can take a long time to get pregnant, even when your “numbers” are good.

2. Every couple’s journey is different.

3. Yes, I will keep trying

Now that the disclaimers are out of the way...

I was pregnant through

IUI

last fall. I was exploring the “single mother by choice” path and I was so surprised and excited to get pregnant through

IUI

the first-time. I unfortunately then experienced a “missed miscarriage,” and choose to take the pill to pass the pregnancy. My post miscarriage blood work was good and I had an SIS to confirm that my uterus was good to go.

Now I’m in a relationship and we’ve been trying for 6 months to no avail. It hasn’t been a year yet—so we will keep trying but DAMN.

My numbers are good and my fertility clinic has only positive for me BUT this man is driving me insane. I know “male ego blah blah...” but this TCC journey is feeling madd one-sides since my partner has been dragging his feet about getting his sperm analyzed.

I’m watching my diet, taking prenatals we tried preseed I’m using opks all of that...

I’m just starting to get jaded about all of it and discouraged.
