Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples and is not discussed enough leaving couples feeling isolated as previously mentioned. My husband and I spent the last 4yrs trying. We were diagnosed with 'unexplained' infertility after 2yrs of trying and finally this past March decided to move on to ART (assisted reproductive technology). We opted for an unstimulated IUI in March that failed, followed by a stimulated (medicated) cycle in April that miraculously worked. I'm now 26wks pregnant and waiting for my miracle. Thank you again for sharing this story - I truly believe it is how awareness of this disease (infertility) will be brought into the limelight offering more support to couples who are struggling and suffering.

One part that is very hard to deal with is the isolation. Infertility is "not discussed". We too went through rounds of drugs and tests and temperature monitoring and charting. - had the hsg and more people examined my girl parts than I care to remember. Spontaneity was gone between my husband and I as we would calculate my "optimum" time. We had 3 IUIs and the answer to our prayers... I was pregnant. And then a few weeks later we suffered a heart breaking miscarriage. We decided on one more IUI before considering IVF. My son was born in August 2003, the 4th IUI was a success! Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it will help others to realise they are not alone! I’m glad you are telling your story. One part that is very hard to deal with is the isolation.

Looking at the success rates for IVF it's clear not everyone's journey ends the same. Your daughter sounds beautiful I’m glad your journey has a happy ending!

I shouldn't have read it here at work because I now have tears in my eyes. I am happy that you not only kept your "eye on the prize", but you got a bonus prize too! :) What a touching story!
