As a Twin Momma (my twins are 6 weeks old), and a couple who had fertility issues (I have PCOS and my husband has male factor infertility), it is very common and makes me SOOO happy that people are talking about infertility. It is so often the big elephant in the room and affects every aspect of life- nothing like the roller coaster of infertility! My husband and I both said from the get go that it was something we would share and something we would hope that our journey to fertilty would be used to help someone, even just one. We did several failed IUIs before making the leap to IVF. We feel so blessed that we were able to get pregnant with twins on our first cycle and we still have 2 frozen embryos left if we decide we want to try again. Good luck as you get closer to welcoming your little bundles of joy! There is nothing like it!!!

It's not talked about enough for as many of us that go through it! My baby boy is 6 months old now but we went through 4 failed IUIs and 1 failed IVF until finally the 2nd IVF procedure was a success. Even still, I feel lucky to have gotten pregnant as "quickly" as I did, knowing so many other women are going through this process much longer than I had to.

And also, was that normal for your dr to recommend you do genetic testing before you got pregnant? Mine didn't but I think that's great that some do!

I was a carrier for a scary disease too, and the wait to find out if Joel was as well as painful! It's a nice thing to get done before you've got pregnancy hormones to combat too!

We were so blessed to have a success after our first IVF because so many people don't. I feel the same way as you...don't be ashamed to talk about it! It's so common now. Thanks for sharing!

I have not struggled with infertility but so many of my close friends have and I know it can be a long lonely road. I think sharing your story will help out so many women who feel alone and don't really know where to turn. I know so many of my friends looked for bloggers, friends, online forums, anywhere they could find someone to relate to them.
