Well, I couldn't leave things as they were. I asked my husband to do 2 more rounds of IUI - Interaunterine Insemination. He agreed. We have done our first out of two and like all the others, it was unsuccessful.
I had a different outlook this time... less hopeful but still optimistic. Does that make sense?
I only told two people, my friend Donna b/c I had to phone the fertility specialist from her place and my parents b/c we stayed there. But the less I tell, the better it is I believe.
I still have trouble coming to terms with our infertility. I have a always wanted to be a mom over anything else but it just isn't happening. Our fertility specialist has a sign about a support group. I may join it as I really think I need to talk to someone and just let out all the tears.

Hi Angela,
Sorry to hear about your fertility challenges. When I was going through my fertility treatments several years ago, I did not want to tell many people either. Like you, I felt it was better (or at least easier) that way. However, I was not prepared for how lonely it would feel, to not share my thoughts and feelings with others. Looking back, I think it would have really helped me to talk to others who were going through the same journey, who could understand at least some of what I was going through. I encourage you to check out whatever local fertility support groups are available, and choose whichever one you feel most comfortable with.
I wish you and your husband all the best, as you navigate through your fertility journey.
Thanks Compassionate.
There is a support group offered by the fertility clinic that I may look into - depending on how this goes. The only problem is that if they only get together in town, I am 4 hours away. My husband has been a good support which I am lucky.
Thanks again.
Angela
