Infertility Support

Hi everyone. I wanted to share my story so some of you could feel inspired, and that there is hope. My husband and I tried for 6 years to conceive. I have PCOS and endometriosis and other health issues. We went to 5 different doctors and did not feel treated well by any of them. We tried several procedures, but not invitro. We switched doctors and went to a city an hour away from ours. Immediately we knew we had one the right thing. In addition to going to a much more advanced clinic, I underwent hypnosis. I had read that an Israeli study showed an improved success rate when hypnosis was added, so what the heck, right? I also did a lot of meditation on picturing my body doing exactly what it was supposed to do- we have all read the books and we all know what that is. Acupuncture was also added to the mix, as well as counseling. I got pregnant during our chlomid test! Literally found out the morning I was supposed to start invitro stuff.

Examine all areas of your life and see what you can do to heal any past trauma, and to accept that you are going to be a parent. Driving an hour wasn't near as big a deal as I thought it would be - especially when you are getting top-notch treatment. I now have a 2-year old daughter who I listen to babble away in her crib as I type this. I thought it would never happen to me........I saw adoption attorneys............I can't believe I am writing this!

Good luck to you all - if love is in your heart, you will find a child. Ironically, my daughter's two best friends are adopted. What a beautiful option to exist!
