OK, girls...I am also in the same boat as all of you. I had my TR in May 2004...yes almost 4 years ago!!! I have done HSG,Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy, D&C, Clomid, HCG injections, Gonal-F injections, IUI, charting, OPK's, etc. etc. and haven't had a BFP yet
I found out during my Laparoscopy that I have Stage 1 Endometriosis (mildest case) that my RE was able to laser away, but it isn't curable and can come back. After my TR, my right tube blocked up (found during HSG), but my left is still open (confirmed during laparoscopy using a stent).
I will be 39 years old on April 7th. I fear that I'm not meant to have any more babies (I have 2 boys ages 13 1/2 & 11) If DH and I could get PG, this would be our first baby together. I just wish our luck would change.
I have been charting ever since my TR and I think that maybe I just need to stop and put the whole "getting pregnant" thing behind me. It is VERY hard to do.
I wish all of us all kinds of luck and that we all end up with BFP's soon.

Brandi, it's not a matter of stopping the TTC it is a matter of focusing on it so much...once you relax and don't worry about it you will find yourself a little less anxious about it...it won't be so emotionally draining. I mean you don't plan on stopping bding with your DH right. And don't take anything as to prevent the pregnancy if it ever were to happen. I will be three years in July and I have not even tried any meds or anything. There was a board on here quite some time ago about a lady that went four years without one BFP and already come to the conclusion that she would not get pregnant, and then she did!!! We would all love to conceive on our time, but realistically it will only happen in HIS time. Praying for peace for you and a BFP when you least expect it!!! Louise

I applaud all of you ladies who are ttc and supporting others in your same shoes. It can't be easy. Know that you have done your best and beyond that it is out of your hands. Please keep us posted how you are doing. Sally,RN

Brandi - I can totally relate. We're coming up on the 2 year mark, and I'm just tired. We only had one M/C experience last october/November (yes, I lost one one week and 2 1/2 weeks later lost another possible twin). I've done the Clomid and all of that and there are too many things I want in life beyond a baby to refinance my world to pay for IVF. It isn't that I don't want it that badly - it just isn't in the cost cards for us. It is so disheartening to know something is wrong (I NEVER ovulate hardly) and the blood comes back fine or normal and you know it cannot possibly be normal when something is keeping you from functioning properly. This isn't new to me, I've had problems always, but I had such high hopes and it is just all gone now. We're active, relatively young people (I'm 34) and we've both had children. We're financially set for a baby and for some reason God sees a teenager more fit than me. I don't get it, and I'm sick of the way it makes me feel. I'm tired of feeling like less of a woman, and though I'm not preventing it, I am not looking for it anymore. I do feel better, but it will always be my greatest disappointment that I couldn't have a child with my husband. I'll never understand why. I really am genuinely happy now - I wasn't for a while, but I got over the baby bug only to THEN get pg. and lose it. I'm trying to just stay in that place and focus on what I can do without a baby. It still haunts me periodically though. Life was certainly passing me by watching, waiting and hoping constantly - so I'm just going to take it by the horns and do other things. I hope that whatever you do beyond TTC works out 1000 times better to make it all worthwhile. So far, mine has - it isn't the same, but it isn't bad.

I just wanted to say that I was also put on Metformin after my TR to help regulate my cycles, they were out of whack for about 4 months, after they straightened out I got my BFP, I believe the met had a lot to do with it. My TR baby is 10 months old.

Brandi, I just wanted to let you know that you arent alone. My TR was 9/04 and no bfps for us either. All my tests came back fine - did five months on clomid - nothing. Five months on injections - nothing. Another 3 months on injections and IUIs - still nothing.
Unexplained infertility - followed by "poor responder" was what we were told as well.
I am so very sorry that you had to hear that awful UI diagnosis (what kind of diagnosis is that anyway, when it doesnt give an answer!!! GRRRR). Just know you arent alone.

Unexplained infertility doesnt mean anything to God!! He has the very last say-so in the matter!!It can and will still happen so maybe you just needed to stop doing all that other stuff!! I hope it happens NOW!! GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU STILL!!

Brandi, I am sorry for your long road. I too have been TTC for 3 years, we have had 3 mc due to low progesterone we finally found out. But each time I got pg was when I finally quit the opk and checking the calendar and so on and so on.... so what I am trying to say is that as soon as it is not so demanding is when you will probably get your BFP!! No stress!! I have started acupuncture and it is awesome!! I will keep you in my prayers. Trish

We've been TTCing for three years now, and I have to say it hasn't all been fun. All the charting, temp taking, timing and meds (chlomid).....really drains all the fun out of TTCing. It becomes more of a chore.... "Ok Honey, it's time, I'm ovulating", isn't nearly as exciting as one might think.... lol
I have just been put on Metformin, all my labs came back 'perfect'. Great. My Doc did say that it was possible to have normal results one month and not the next. So, he put me on Metformin and then told us that we have the dreaded 'UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY'.
I was in tears before he could finish telling me that there seemed to be no medical explanation, other than 'UI', that we can't get pregnant.
With that my Doc suggested that we see a Fertility Specialist....already did Doc. He looked at our records (mainly mine) and said IVF was the best thing for us. UMMMMMMMMM....thanks but we don't have 12K for a 24% chance.
So, Thank you Dr. Berger for trying to help us. But I'm afraid that we're done.
Thanks Ladies for advice and encouragement throughout the last few years.
Congrats to everyone who has been successful and best of luck to everyone who is still TTCing.
