Unexplained Infertility

I thought I would post an update about our journey to adding a third child to our family.  Maybe I'm sharing too much, but I know that I am a super curious person, and so I'll put it out there.

After several tests, and doctors appointments we got the official prognosis today, unexplained infertility.

Our doctor is completely stumped.

We both checked out perfectly healthy, and especially with conceiving easily twice before, he has no explanation.  We'll start a fertility drug next month to see if that can get the ball rolling for us.  He has been really patient in taking all of our questions and phone calls.

So right now we are just in the waiting place.  The same place we have been for almost a year in a half.  Its really frustrating and also very humbling.

This whole ordeal has just really shown me that its all in the Lords hands.  He will bless us with a child when the time is right for our family.  Its also given me empathy for others who have to go through this very difficult trial.

We'll just try and enjoy this time with our sweet little Ellie.

  3. Tami, I really appreciate you sharing your journey. McKay and I have been trying to start our little family for a little over a year now with no success. I know our stories are different, but I have similar feelings of sadness and frustration. Know that you are in my prayers :)

  5. Perhaps it is your diet. Are you eating whole foods, no junk foods, mostly fruit, veggies and proteins? Little to no sugar, white flour, rice, potatoes, beets and corn? I know that diet can have affect on fertility. Dearest cousin, I know you are LSD (a faith I admire), so please forgive my Buddhisty thoughts...it could be karmic. I will chant for you to see the situation through eyes not clouded by emotion so that the solution is more easily grasped. <3
