My Very First Post

Here goes nothing....

My Hunky Husband & I have been married for 4 years now & have been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby for 3 1/2 of those 4 years. After numerous Dr.'s visits, 4 cycles of chlomid, some cysts, Stage 4 Endometriosis & one Fallopian tube removed later, here we are. We finally saw an RE in June of last year and are now in the middle of our first IVF cycle.
I thought it might be theraputic for me to spew my guts on here rather than the alternative, which was downing too many glasses of wine & crying inappropriately at social functions. Yes, welcome to the world of Infertility people. If you can relate, I feel for you. I think 8 out of my 10 friends are either pregnant right now, or just had a baby. I kind of feel like God hates me right now, why doesn't he just strike me down with a bolt of lightening and get it over with already...Jeez.
If one more person tells me to "just relax", or "be content with God's plan", I am going to scream. People, I am missing a tube, the other one is most likely blocked & I have severe Endometriosis. I don't think relaxing is going to work in this scenario, but miracles do happen, because I have heard that one also. I wish people would just say, "gosh, that really sucks & I am sorry you have to go through this", it's not hard & it makes me feel a hell of alot better.
This post might seem a bit crabby, but it feels good to get things off my chest...Thanks for listening. It would be nice to make some friends who can relate to my circumstances.
