I spent a long time on the Internet thinking that I would solve my infertility by reading the experiences of others.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time and money self diagnosing my problems and self prescribing vitamins, supplements, and natural therapies that had zero effect.
Then I wasted more than a year with a doctor that my friend referred to me. I found him rude and patronising at our first meeting but because my friend had success with him, I stuck with him even though he wasn't treating my problem.
Finally I researched IVF clinics and found one that I liked the look of. I really warmed to my consultant. The clinic set out the process and their prices clearly. I just trusted them. From that day on, I decided to focus on their process, no second guessing, no Internet forums. I ended up really enjoying the actual IVF process because after years of aimless trying, I had a very definite structure, they told me exactly what to do and when to do it. My first IVF failed but I still trusted them. They changed my protocol for the second one and that worked.
Long story short, I hope you get your baby without needing a fertility clinic but if you do have to go down that road, find a professional that you trust and don't waste time hoping that because somebody on a forum had success with one thing or another, the same will work for you. I don't mean that to sound rude or belittling of this thread, just explaining my regrets in case it helps someone.
