Here's a story for those battling with infertility

Jennifer • TTC for 3 years (1 blocked tube), 2 MC
Infertility sucks. I've been TTC for 19months now. The last few months I've gotten all kinds of tests done and yesterday finally an HSG. Finally, an answer, but not necessarily something I wanted to hear. The nurse immediately told me that my right tube was blocked completely. The dye didn't run through the tube at all. Left tube is fine. She did tell me not to worry over it because many women still get pregnant with one tube. She also told me that even if I ovulate from the right side (my blocked side) that sperm can still travel through the opposite tube and make it to the egg. I was still devastated even though she reassured me. Until....
I had a conversation with my MIL. She shared her infertility battle with me. She was diagnosed with endometriosis at a very young age and long story short, by the time she got married she had one damaged left tube, right tube was removed, and   Only part of her left ovary left. The doctors told her she would probably never have kids. She proved the doctors wrong though. After 3 years of TTC, she finally got pregnant with my brother in law. She couldn't believe it! She figured if she could defy these odds then she could do it again, however she wasn't quite ready yet so she had the IUD placed in. She went into John Hopkins for a planned surgery to have an artificial  tube put into her right side (where her tube was missing). But first, they had to give her a pregnancy test before surgery. The nurse came into the room and told her she no longer needed surgery. Baffled, she asked why and the nurse excitedly told her she was pregnant! She got pregnant with her second child (my hubby!) while on the IUD, damaged left tube, and only part of her left ovary. What are the odds right?! My husband was definitely meant to come into this world! My MIL told me that I WILL get pregnant, just give it time. 
Hearing this story gave me so much hope. I hope it helps all of you ladies who are fighting the emotional infertility battle. It's a tough one. Baby dust to you all ✨🍼👶🏼
