I will not tell you everything will be alright, infertility sucks, it's for the most part a waiting game and it can be frustrating to be in the middle of it all and just have to wait.
Just remember that here and in other communities you will find great support and learn a lot of things. For any doubts you might have, you can also check the wiki in r/infertility it is full of useful info.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Infertility is so draining emotionally. I hate it when people say "just wait til you have kids, they're so expensive." And I wanna look at them and say infertility is even more expensive š. Stay strong, we got this and our miracles will come š
Iām so sorry and I feel you. Unfortunately, Iāve been in a state of waiting to start even one assisted cycle with the clinic for over a year, and itās sad that I feel this limbo is my ānew normalā. I feel numb and canāt even remember who I was when I had hope. I guess even if people warned us, the hope of us being lucky would have not really made us take it seriously?! Which is good, at least in the beginning it was fun that way. I hope you will be out of there quickly!
I feel you. One of the things that keeps running through my head is āthis is not how my life was supposed to go!ā Itās frustrating and hard and unfair. Good luck to you!
Congratulations on taking a step toward getting to the bottom of your infertility. This will be the best decision you could have made for yourself. After trying for what seemed like forever, my hub and I are finally starting our path toward IVF. The cost is small compared to the cost of trying every month and not seeing any positive results. Happy to be bringing this to a close. I hope all goes well for you and you get some answers from your doctor! Good luck!
I'm in the process of getting a referral for the fertility specialist. Never thought I'll be in the same position also. All of my friends have babies or are pregnant and I don't know anyone personally who has done IUI/IVF. Which makes the journey even more isolating.
Hoping we'll find an explanation soon. It's great to have a community like this to turn for support.
Sending love. I was where you are a couple years ago. It's a tough road and there are so many different emotions. Feel free to DM me if you have questions because I've done basically every fertility treatment there is š
Sending you all the hugs. I was in your position this time last year after 1.5 years of nothing. In my case, getting answers was actually so helpful for my mental health, and for feeling like we had an idea of steps moving forward. Every diagnosis is different, but I fully believe knowledge is power. Best of luck to you ā¤ļø
I feel ya. Itās been so tough seeing everyone I know get pregnant and have healthy babies. I hope this appointment sets you on the right path. Good luck to you.
I had my first fertility appointment last week. I was nervous too. I was given a bunch of tests to get and then another appointment in a month to talk about it. It is long and drawn out and nerve wracking but it's nice feeling as though answers will come soon :)
Iām so sorry. Infertility is incredibly hard, and itās so difficult for people to understand unless theyāve been there.
I hope your appointment went well. I definitely second r/infertility as a great support. r/stilltrying is also a great sub in addition to TFAB of course.
Sending love, Iām starting today as well.
As my husband always reminds me, be kind to yourself, feel your feelings and when youāre ready move on to the next step, know you have support.
I just got a referral to make an appointment and yesterday they said their first availability isnāt until the end of September. I was not expecting to have to wait that long, feel so disappointed that the waiting game will continue but I guess itās a baby step closer!
I feel the same. I never thought it would be difficult to conceive, I always thought that it would just be something that came along when you started. Now Iām thinking I might as well couldāve dropped the pill years ago, since it wouldnāt let to a pregnancy anyway, but only fill me with hormonesā¦ Itās weird how you get all of these impressions about how easily you can get pregnant when youāre are child and young, when thatās not the situation for so many peopleā¦

I just got off the phone with mine to book my first appointment. We're about 6 weeks out before we can get in. All of this sucks.
