Hello, ladies. I think I came to the point in my infertility journey when enough is enough. I have been ttc for 1.5 years (and I know its not as long as some of you have been ttc), but for me its just getting too emotional. All I think about is getting pregnant. I had lap surgery 2 month ago, and my RE found severe endometriosis. She told me to try for 3 month naturally, and then move to IUI or IVF. I just got a new job, and my new insurance does not cover any of these treatments. But the main issue with me is that I am loosing hope. By reading all the threads, it seem like very few girls with severe endo get pregnant naturally. All my friends are walking pregnant right now, some with the second child. I feel like everyone is looking at me and wondering whats wrong. I am so tired.....How do I continue with this journey with such an attitude. Please, share some of your feelings.

Well I know how you feel I went threw it last year. I know there are alot of women who do and go threw alot more than I have but my last IUI was very emotional for me. I ended up with alot of issues with it. So we decided we were done trying. We even bought a 2 bedroom house. We completely stopped talking about it or trying. Them I was in pain alot and the doc suggested I had endo and wanted to do surgery. We went in and he told me that is how I got pg with my DD was they removed all the stuff before. The thing is I was in Germany and did not understand what was going on and what had happened. Because of that sugery I was pg 4 months later. So when we had this surgery we have high hope that it might happen again. Now I wish I had bought a 3 bedroom house. So we are lookin into add and addition.

I also understand how you feel. I also had a lap and the found Endo stage IV (Severe). My RE suggested we go straight for IVF. I was weel prepared to hear this so I just told him that I was going to start saving up and hopefully doit it by the end of the yer or early next year.

He suggeted that we go straight to IVF because he does not think that IUI or medicatios will help. Well I think that I want to try IUI at least once, maybe that will do it, mean while we are going to be trying on our own.

My insurance does not cover IUI or IVF either. But I really want a baby, so I am doing everything possible to save money.

Don't give up, remember that if it does not happen naturally, at least your doctor has given you other options.
