Albi we were not trying but not preventing from May07 until July08. We went on birth control from July 08 til Sep08 as we were getting married and DH didn't want me pregnant as he was concerned I wouldn't enjoy myself ie have some drinks, late night, dancing etc. I was not happy but did go on it.
Sep08 off the pill again and very actively ttc with charting, OPTS, timing intercourse etc. Had a m/c in May09 and June saw a Gyno and pleaded for my tubes to be flushed and a SA which he refused. July 09 I got pregnant again but this was ectopic and I lost my tube and found out I had PID, endo and DH had sperm issues. We had more surgery in Nov09 to try and fix my remaining tube as it was damaged and flush it and have been ttc ever since. We were told in September we would probably need IVF but to try for 6months first which we have with no pregnancy. We are not having IUI as its a tubal problem thats the biggest reason I am not pregnant so no point when we either wouldn't get pregnant anyway or if so might be another ectopic pregnancy (I have had one definate tubal pregnancy and another of unknown location)
We start IVF in September when my health insurance kicks in.
IVF actuall gives me alot of hope as ttc in the bedroom hasn't worked for us for a year and we know we have 7 seperate problems contributing to our infertility so I wish it would hurry up and get here and praying we are in the percent that achieves a successful pregnancy within a few stim cycles. At this stage we are prepared to have 3 although its a bit early to know how we feel ince it all starts. The only part of IVF that scares me is the EPU and multiple failed attempts.
