My husband and I have been trying for over a year and have had two miscarriages. This has been the hardest year of my life. I've never had these kinds of feelings of doubt, insecurity, bitterness, jealousy, anger, the list goes on... pregnancy announcements stab me in the heart, ultrasound pics, newborn pics, it's all torture. <br /><br />And yep, insurance doesn't cover this. I've had some preliminary tests done, an ultrasound, a consult... no answers as to why this is happening, but yes, it's VERY expensive. <br /><br />I've only just been prescribed Clomid to try.. I haven't decided yet if I will. I'm comforted to know that if I get pregnant again I'll be getting progesterone to help, hopefully it will.<br /><br />I keep asking myself, why? What am I doing wrong? What is wrong with me? I'll admit I've tried some ridiculous things (ever eat an entire pineapple core?) in the past, but right now I'm just trying to let go and get my mind in a better place. <br /><br />I find it helps to talk about it. I posted on facebook what I'm going through, during national infertility week, and got a lot of positive comments. <br /><br />I'm so sorry you are going through this, it's so heartbreaking. I'm praying for all of us couples trying to start our families! I'm glad you are sharing your story. It's very powerful to talk about it, and it makes us not feel so alone.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514707986391330801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328099121664755740.post-76016579259045883862014-04-28T15:23:56.354-07:002014-04-28T15:23:56.354-07:00You will definitely get through this season.

We tried for 6 years and never got pregnant, despite IUIs and meds. Finally, after financing an IVF, we got pregnant with our miracle twins. They were 8 years old yesterday. It's still mind blowing to me the way God worked in our marriage, in our hearts, in our family, in our friends and made something so incredibly beautiful from all that despair and hurt. Stay open and ask Him for a promise. He keeps His promises.

Thank you so much for pouring your heart ...Linley,<br /><br />Thank you so much for pouring your heart out on a subject that can be so misunderstood sometimes. My husband and I have been trying for 5 years to start a family. We have been to the doctor's and have gone through all kinds of tests. Everything has come back as normal. Through this journey we have learned to trust that God is control. He has a plan for our lives. HIS plan. It's so hard to understand that ,but just keep leaning into Jesus and know that you have a friend from afar praying for your family.

After much much prayer (and 3 IUI's!), it worked for us and I will be praying that you will have a happy ending to your story as well!! Have your doctors given you any insight into a diagnosis? We were technically "unexplained infertility" which is so frustrating! They had guesses as to why (endometriosis) but no real diagnosis. Anyway, much love from Ohio! -♥- Rachel (<a href="forthebirdsblog.net" rel="nofollow">For the Birds</a>)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841712277356846020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328099121664755740.post-74277026482409525202014-04-24T10:06:24.667-07:002014-04-24T10:06:24.667-07:00Krystal,
