   Do you discuss your fertility problems with others in your social circle? Who do you confide in?

   Fertility issues are so very taboo and people most times frown upon the fact that you are having problems conceiving. I have come to a place in my life that I am not carrying that burden and stress anymore and I have stopped worrying about what people may think. I talk freely and openly about it. This takes the stress away and allow for me to really listen to others who are in similar situations like myself.

   I don't know who to confide in...I had a renal transplant 5yrs ago and my family all think I should not even want to have kids considering the risks involved of losing the graft function....I have no close friends (only my mom and sis). It's difficult to even talk to my husband about seeing a doctor; and I guess he just assumes it will happen for us one day because he has four kids and I had a still-birth 10yrs ago :(. I'm going through a really hard time since I switched my medication in preparation for pregnancy 1 1/2yrs ago and still nothing...and each time I go to clinic the nurses keep asking what I'm waiting for...Godot maybe? :(

   Hi AngelEyes, this sounds like a really trying time for you and no one can really say that they understand what you are going through. My humble advice is to ask your husband for both of you to see a counselor where you can both express your feelings and he can really understand exactly the hurt your are experiencing not being able to get pregnant. Don't bottle this all in. There are people out there that you can talk to.

   Regarding the fact that you are on medication for 1 ½ yrs I suggest that you contact your fertility specialist to have further discussion on this matter as things can work out differently if you get another opinion.

   Thanks for the advise Best...I just don't know how to explain to him or convince him that this means a lot to me...he will just say stop worrying and have faith ...but faith without works is dead not so...

   Angeleye, its true that faith without works is dead. I suggest that you continue praying about it and have ongoing dialogue with your husband. It is sometimes difficult for some men to deal with the issues surrounding infertility so be careful how you approach the topic with him.

   You need to keep the faith and your work is for you and your husband to seek counselling and talk about the issues surrounding this and also get advice from a fertility specialist regarding the medication you are taking which seems to be brining no improvement to your situation.

   Look forward to speaking with you again.

   Hi Angeleyes, just know im praying for you, my husband and I have unexplained infertility and its very confusing and frustrating when you dont see anything happening and cant find the reason why, anyway we are in the process of going to the BFC for IVF in December. Hope you are successful on your journey, let God give you the right words to say to you husband. Things will get better. Just in case you need to talk, Im here for you.

   Sunntbrowncab the support you have shared with AngelEyes is remarkable and the fact that you are soon to be going through with IVF you still have the capacity to share and give strength to others.

   Good going!
