There have been a couple of times where I really thought I was pregnant but even got a blood count and it still was negative. I know I have low progesterone too but when I was doing chlomid with my regular OBGYN he had no problem giving me estrogen and progesterone. Can you find a different OB? I know there are plenty if people with endo that get pregnant on their own. And you would think that since I ovulate every month and DH has super sperm we would be fine. But I know surgery increases my chances of conceiving.

How funny. That's awesome!

So yesterday I just felt like throwing a little pity party for myself. I still feel like greiving that my first IUI cycle was a failure. I need to just move on past that, I guess.

So... out of curiosity, have any of you googled, "what does the Bible say about infertility?" Read on and be offended.

Heh. I don't think I need to google that to know what it says. I've seen some horrible, horrible things said about infertility in the name of Christianity. Zsuzsanna's blog being the worst. But then she is a really horrible person.

I"ve not heard of that website.... I don't think I want to read it. WTF is up with holier than thou Christians? SMH.

Like I said, she's a horrible person and her blog is chock full of hate. I never could understand how someone who calls herself devoutly Christian could be such a hatemonger.

Likewise.

The websites I looked up were just ignorant. People who have no idea what it's like wrote them.

This was exactly what I was going to say. I love when people have fixed opinions about things that they have absolutely no clue about. My old fertility doc's office FB page had posted one of those e-cards the other day that said "If you have never been to an RE for your fertility issues, I can assure you you cannot relate to my situation." There is so much truth in this, I'm early in my journey this go-around, but with my son I always wanted to scream "take a walk in my shoes for a while!" Another thing that always pisses me off when people have issues with fertility treatments... these people have no problem taking BP meds, or insulin, or whatever else because their bodies "don't work correctly", what makes this so different?!?!

I always got so tired of people in my bible study saying well maybe you shouldn't try so hard and just relax. Ya that's the solution! I definitely won't get pregnant without trying! My other favorite was we'll maybe God doesn't want you to have kids! I said we'll then why has he given me a huge desire in my heart to have children? God is not cruel He gives us desires in our hearts and He will fulfill them in His time. I said oh I will have kids and I will do whatever it takes. So then when we were waiting for our adopted daughter to be born everyone at church said well don't get your hopes up bc it might not happen. I never doubted for a moment that I was going to get my little girl. After all I was the one talking to BM everyday! They wouldn't even have a shower for me until after I got the baby. So then I ended up having to buy everything I needed and the shower they had later was pointless. If we didn't have hope of having children we would be lost and depressed.

Ugh don't get me started on this. My in laws are very religious... They have made it known since day one they don't agree with us doing IVF. It's fine to not agree with it, but as the previous poster said... Unless you've been in the situation, how do you know what you'd do? Drives me crazy. I tell my inlaws- God created (or helped create) modern medicine & technology for a reason.

Caitlin!!! I'm so sorry they don't agree with you on doing IVF! That's no fun. My inlaws were iffy on us using a donor and FIL kept pushing us to use my BIL. Just remember that baby is going to be loved regardless!!!
