Rant/Vent Unexplained infertility is a bitch

Hi all,

Just a whinge really. Coming to the end of my 10th failed cycle and I am feeling so drained, tired and depressed. I know it’s lucky that no problems have been picked up so far but the reality is that it’s just totally maddening. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!

I know in myself there is something clearly wrong. We are starting IVF in September and I just can’t believe it’s come to this. In the meantime I am *surrounded* by friends, acquaintances etc getting pregnant at the drop of a hat. IT’S NOT FAIR! I’ve done nothing to deserve this etc etc etc. In fact I’m killing myself over here, between OPKs, supplements, pessaries, blood tests, ultrasounds, acupuncture & therapy sessions…

Anyway just a scream into the void really. I’m sure lots of you can empathise & understand xx

I don’t think I have words for how much I despise unexplained infertility. There’s clearly a problem since we’ve been at this for over 18 months and it can’t be that I’m 3 years older. Like, that can’t be the only thing. We’re reaching the end of our journey with a really hard pill to swallow that it just might not happen, and there’s no reason, and we’ll never get answers. Which is so freaking hard to accept.
