I'm new to the board, and have read a few of your posts. It is amazing, and sad, that there are so many people dealing with the same issues I have. We've been ttc for 2 1/2 years, and while I know this really is "early" in the road of infertility, I am struggling! I've been on clomid since January, but had to "miss" this last month as I should've started my meds on Memorial Day, but couldn't get in to see the doctor over the weekend or on Monday. I've tried to remain positive and trust that God knows best. It doesn't make it easier, necessarily, just reminds me that He loves me and has the best plans for me.

My husband is a wonderful man, and he struggles with what to say when we realize that we now have another month before we will get pregnant. My biggest fear is that we won't get pregnant. Patience is not a virtue that I am great with, but I am learning to wait. I'm just so scared that we'll never get pregnant...and we won't be able to have our own child. How do you all deal with these feelings? This montly up and down cycle is so difficult...and we still have so far to go.

Is anyone from Indiana - and have a great fertility specialist?

Thanks for any thoughts of advice!

Hi Stacey-
I'm glad you found these boards. The boards have really helped me when I am down and when I have questions on fertility treatments and stuff like that. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with your infertility, we ALL do. It's a very hard thing to go through. My husband and I have been trying about the same amount of time as you have and it does feel like an eternity!! Nice to meet you!;)

Hi Stacey

Welcome to the boards. You will find all the support you need here. My DH and I have been TTC baby #3 for 2 1/2 years and it feels like forever to me. It is a hard journey and I hope that yours ends soon!

Hi Stacey,

I really understand what you are going through. Especially trying to make sure you are able to get appointments at just the right time so as not to have to wait another cycle. I'm new to this board but the support really helps. I don't feel like I'm alone. It really helps when people who are going throught the same thing give you advice because you know they understand. I'm in Indiana. I have a good doctor at Midwest Fertility in Carmel Indiana. His name is Dr. Bradford Bopp. I hope this helps a little.

Hi Stacey,

Just joined this board myself and it's a god send for me b/c everyone can truly relate to what you're experiencing. Patience isn't a strong point for me either but I'm learning to get better with it daily. One day at a time and build a support group is my advise. Best Wishes.

Welcome Stacey! :wave:
I hope you find this board to be a source of comfort in your IF journey. I know I have! Your post really hit home for me! It is super hard to remain positive, and trust God and His timing, isn't it? I think it's especially difficult when you don't have a guarantee that things will turn out like you want them to. There have been many months that I didn't think I could wait another month, but somehow God always seems to give us the strength to pick ourselves up and try again. Hang in there and know that we are here for you!
