Five years ago I married my husband and we started trying to have a baby. I had previously used an IUD, but had it removed before we were married. I have one child from a previous relationship. After 6 months, we succeeded, but another two months and it was over. I had an ectopic pregnancy, no chance of saving it. I don't know the gender, I don't even have a name for him or her. Almost five years later and I still ache from the loss. We've never prevented another pregnancy, but it's likely my remaining tube is blocked. My husband has never been tested for fertility, and I've tried to get him to go...It makes him uncomfortable. We've just started trying again in earnest, but I honestly don't have high hopes.

I guess I don't really have a question or anything. Just looking for support, and maybe hoping to offer some to any other "hopelessly hopeful" cases out there.
