Hi,

Does anyone want to share their story with me?
I have got a wonderful dd age 2.5 and have been trying for another one for 16 months now. Dp and I have had all the tests, diagnosis was unexplained infertility. we're having IUI now, but without success so far.
All my friends have either had their second children or are pregnant again. I want to feel happy for them but I just feel sad and isolated - and angry with myself for not having started ttc earlier.

Anyone in the same boat? I would love to chat to people who understand, dp just thinks I'm ridiculous to complain about our situation.

BTW there's a thread in conception called 'The hut of gloom' which is full of ladies taking a long time to get pregnant/ stay pregnant. You might find some comfort/company there. I know I certainly did.

Hi.

I had dd no problem, then conceived a second time first time but m/c. I then developed secondary infertility - and it took me 2 years to conceive again. I/DH had all the tests which showed nothing amiss and then had the option of trying clomid just to see (the consultant said she didn't think it would work as it would give me no advantage) or having a laparoscopy. Being keen to avoid the surgery I decided to try the clomid and conceived on the first cycle. I am now 37+3.

Its so heartbreaking when everyone around you is popping children out left right and centre (or so it feels). Good luck - hope you get there soon.
