16 months later..

Michelle • 34, DH 37. ttc #1 for 4+ years
And still not pregnant! Haha! Just wanted to share my story with everyone, seeing as how this is a new group. A little about me, I'm 32 and have been married to DH (34) for 2 years (together for 7). I'm currently a PhD student in my 3rd year.. So I'm sure stress has had a major impact on our ttc journey. We are trying for our first baby, so this process has been especially heartbreaking for us.
A little about our journey.. We had an early mc back in December of last year, but had been trying for months prior to conceiving . So in March I decided to do fertility testing since we hadn't had any luck getting pregnant again. Everything checked out ok with me, but DH was diagnosed with sub-normal motility and morphology (on the low side of normal). So we tried doing an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>. First one failed, so we tried a second, and that one failed also. My insurance doesn't cover infertility so we couldn't afford to do another. That was back in July, and we've been ttc naturally every since (with no luck). 
Long story short, I've given up stressing over the process. To be honest, I belonged to the "what to expect forums" for a long time, and recently left bc I was planning on giving up ttc. But then I found out ab glow, and the ladies are 10x nicer here, so I'm going to give it another shot. I've pretty much stopped temping, doing opks, and trying to control the process so much. I've accepted that children may never happen for us, but am still hopeful! Hoping this strategy works bc it's the last one I got ? GL to everyone!!
