IF

IF or infertility is sucky and most of the time puts you on an emotional rollercoaster. This is mine and my husbands journey and basically a place where I can vent because a lot of people in my life dont know or understand what we are going through.  this is all I'm going to write for now because I am in charge of carting around my brother in law today ( more on that later...)
One hour later: So I totally miss read the invitation and got halfway to the place where the party was suppose to be and realized the party is tomorrow...so now I have double duties tomorrow and a 7 year old boy stuck at my house.
So moving on this is mine and J's (the husband) TTC {trying to Concieve) story. We have been trying for 17 months this month, we found out at about month 12 that we would have a hard time concieving on our own because A) I produce to little progesterone at the end of my cycle so I am not able to maintain a pregnancy if by some mirical it actually happened. B) I may not be having a "good" ovulation, yes this does happen you are producing an egg, but it might not be mature enough. and C) J's sperm is kind of lazy ( no joke thats what the OBGYN told us). so what it is the motility of the sperm and on a quality level of 1-5 we are at about a 2.
So with all this knowlage we can do a couple of things, but at this point you don't want to be under the care of your OBGYN anymore you need a specialist. There was a women on The Bump ( a pregnancy forum) who said an OBGYN is good for regular women check ups and after you are pregnant, but not to get you pregnant when you are dealing with IF. that is why we are going to be seeing a RE or a reproductive endocrinologist. I have just emailed a reproductive clinic that has a couple of offices in the area so hopefully in the next couple of months we will have some more definate answers.
That is it and if you have made it this far good job cause this was a long post :)
