Have been struggling to decide to come out with all the frustration and tears related to infertility. I have been trying to conceive since 2009 and have had multiple cycles of follicular monitoring and ovulation induction. Have been through an HSG(very painful) and two IUI cycles. Im waiting for my third IUI which happens on monday i.e 21st May 2012. These are the concrete details of my journey. The abstract ones are long and tearful nights, bad moods, wet pillows and a lot of heartache. Hi! Have been struggling to decide to come out with all the frustration and tears related to infertility.

I am 30 years old, and was only recently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, after telling doctors for 15 years that my cycles weren't normal. I was also diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. My husband and I have been trying now for two years so far. Luckily my husband is on the high end of every category, and has a 5 year-old daughter from his first marriage, which is hopeful. We have gone through all the usual fertility treatments, and have recently given IUI a chance... our last 'assisted' try. We are doing the superovulation style IUI. During my first follicle stimulation ultrasound, there were no matured follicles, and the doctor was certain we would have to discontinue treatment. I went to my Craniosacral Therapy, as well as my Accupunturist, and only two days later another ultrasound showed an abundance of follicles that were ready to go. My doctor actually stopped counting around eight! We are thrilled. We followed up with a two day insemenation, and will be doing a blood test this coming Tuesday (April 10th). I guess my question is that I am desperately looking for a place to blog about my infertility. I wasn't sure if it was an option on your site, since its set up to be more of a collection of stories. Please help me with this, or point me in the right direction. All of my friends are very fertile and are horribly rude when I try to talk to them. Its awful not being able to talk to someone other than my parents and my husband. I could really use the encouragement from other women who have walked in my shoes. Thank you so much, and keep up the positive site! I applaud everyone’s stories on here, and praise God for these little miracles.
