Miscarriage and secondary infertility

We got pregnant a couple months after getting married. We told immediate family and a few close friends early on. However, 9.5 weeks into the pregnancy I suffered a miscarriage. It actually happened on my 33rd birthday. It was a horrible day and the pain was almost unbearable. The worst part was having to tell people that I miscarried. I learned my lesson not to tell others until I was in my second trimester. We started trying again soon after and figured we would have no issues. Months went by and nothing. I started drinking special teas and taking supplements to help conceive. I started testing my LH surges and knew exactly when I was ovulating and still kept on getting negatives. I was so depressed and sad. I kept on thinking that the next month has to be it. People all around me were announcing their pregnancies. Most of them already had one or two children. I had co-workers that kept on asking me when I was going to join the “mom club”. Little did they know we just had a miscarriage and have been having fertility issues. My due date for the baby I miscarried went by and then what would of been their one year birthday. Things were coming in the mail at each milestone my baby would of reached. I ended up calling them and telling them to remove me from the list. I even started tracking my temperatures. I swear I tried everything and I was even making my hubby take special supplements. I felt like my clock was ticking and that my eggs were turning into dust. I went to the doctor right around the 6 month mark (post miscarriage) and had a bunch of labs drawn. I was just trying to be proactive and I always recommend others to do the same. I remember going to my doctor and talking to him about my issues of not getting pregnant. During my visit he showed me a picture of his twins. He said this is what happens when you try really hard. I just smiled and held back the tears. I knew we would absolutely love twins because the thought of doing this all over again sounded like no fun. All my labs came back good except I had a slightly elevated prolactin level. The doctor put me on a low dose of medication to help reduce that. I had absolutely no reason not to get pregnant. I also had a HSG to make sure my tubes were clear and that test came back completely normal. We ended up going to a fertility clinic sometime after a year of trying (post miscarriage). We tried 2 IUIs at this clinic and our insurance stopped working with that doctor so we needed to switch clinics. After a few more months we finally were able to attempt another IUI. The third IUI also did not take. At this point my husband and I were wondering if we would ever get pregnant. I honestly was just waiting to go to IVF. My insurance was making us try a total of six IUIs before we could even attempt IVF. They switched some medications around and after the forth IUI it finally took! When the nurse called me to tell me my HCG level was 312 I couldn’t believe it. The first person I told was my brother and then I told my hubby when he got home that day. He was happy but told me he wouldn’t get very excited until we got past a certain point. We ended up telling my parents during our Florida trip. Our journey felt like eternity but I know so many others have struggled longer. It took us over 2 years to get pregnant after our first miscarriage. If anyone is reading this and having fertility issues please don’t give up and your time will come. God is good.
