Thank you. I’m so sorry for your losses. Hoping your day comes soon!
@Megan I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and holding my breath that this one actually sticks 🤞
@Shannon congratulations! I hope so too! Good luck and lots of sticky baby dust sent your way!
@Megan it was going to the doctor that worked for me. A lot of the tests the doctor ran are pretty standard and can be ordered by your PCP. You can also go through places like LabCorp to order the tests yourself you’d just have to pay out of pocket. I realize moving is probably not an option for you, but here in Illinois insurance companies are required by law to cover fertility treatments including IVF, and Illinois has a relatively low cost of living compared to a lot of the country especially in the smaller cities and rural areas. Although even Chicago is still affordable.
Meanwhile people who cannot conceive often tell women who have had miscarriages “at least you know you can get pregnant”. Infertility is difficult for everyone whether it’s primary or secondary. I know that people say these things to try to be optimistic but they just don’t help. I’ve had multiple miscarriages and also struggled to conceive so I’ve experienced both and neither is fun. You just need to try your best to ignore those people. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
