I've heard stories like this before... Miracle babies happen all the time and I pray to God that 1 happens for you I believe and claim a baby for you! In Jesus name Amen!
"I won't ever get pregnant on my own" 😢😔
My doctor called me today with the results of my HSG. She told me my tubes are blocked and I won't be able to get pregnant on my own and that's why it has never happened for me. She referred me to a fertility clinic a couple hours away, and said I would have to talk to them (it's beyond what she does) but she thinks the next thing they will tell me to do or the next step would be IVF. I have been crying all day and I even left work after only an hour of being there. I would be 100% on board of trying anything but we can't afford IVF. I've been doing research all day and it's anywhere from like $12,000-$18,000. My heart is so broken. My body feels achy like I'm actually making it sick. Even if we did get the money, all the visits, injections, that's one long hard road. I'm so devastated. My husband said so-we will do it then and I cried saying we don't have money but he's sure we will find a way. He hugged me and is very supportive but I feel like he doesn't get it. That's probably a separate issue. But he has a 7 year old son. I can't help it yes I feel sorry for myself. And I think things like why did they get pregnant at the ages of 18 and 19 but now we can't have our own? I'm sorry if that offends anyone. I love my stepson. I'm just hurting extremely bad right now. 😔

I am so sorry for all that you are going through. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. I don't ovulate like I'm suppose to and during my HSG test my right tube was blocked. They were able to dilate it and unblock it there in the office visit. I'll be honest, it was more expensive than I was hoping but not as expensive as other procedures. Our insurance pays for nothing related to infertility but the clinic had a "self pay" price and set up a payment plan free of interest. I've found many places do that since a lot of insurance companies don't cover those expenses. We are considering IVF and I've found Resolve.org to be super helpful, especially this link that talks about different ways to afford building a family. http://www.resolve.org/family-building-options/making-treatment-affordable/infertility-financing-programs.htmlI hope this helps and that things work out for you.
I can understand how you feel. I have two step sons who are 11 months apart. Their mother was 19 and claiming she couldn't get pregnant. So my husband (thinking like an army guy who was drunk) said ok. She got pregnant twice in one year and I can't even get pregnant once. They are my sons and I love the oh so very dearly but I want the special connection
The fertility clinic may be able to do surgery to unblock your tubes so don't give up just yet! Also many offices have funding for ivf so although you would have a monthly payment for years similar to another car payment, it is an option. We have mfi and our only option seems to be ivf as well. It's hard but take some time to talk about how you're feeling to your spouse. Good luck!

I know some who got her tubes dilated and that helped open them up for her to conceive... it was less than $5,000... there are ways around it 😉 i have faith! Keep at it and look into other options. If I come across something I will send it your way! *Praying for you both a little miracle!
Heather, Whatever you do do not give up on GOD because HE is more than able. When we were first told we'd have to do IVF I was devastated too. I've been praying since I was told I had endometriosis. Had my first surgery in 2005. We are not pregnant just yet but we will be. We did not have the money either back when we were first told we'd have to do IVF but GOD made a way so trust HIM and HE will do the same for you. I have a friend who didn't have the money either and has one fallopian tube and was told she had to do IVF. She was devastated as well but has prayed and prayed and prayed and GOD blessed her with the money too. Accept HIM into your heart if you haven't, believe in HIM and trust in HIM and know that HE is able and HE will bless you!
They couldnt unblock your tubes when you got the HSG done?? Both my tubes were blocked and my doctor kept pushing that ink in until it flushed out. Painful but worth it, a month later I was pregnant after 9 years of infertility, miracles can and do happen, keep your faith

I don't think so. The way she described it was they are like the end of a hot dog. Like shut. Like formed that way I guess ?
I'm so so sorry. It sounds like he's trying to be supportive, but I don't think that even the most amazing man in the world could ever FULLY empathize with the feeling of not being able to conceive and carry your own child. I hope that when you see a specialist, they can give you some hope. I know someone who was told she couldn't have children and 7 years later, she finally did. I hope you get your happy end. *hugs*
