I know I have been seriously slacking this week...
My husband and I will be married 3 years on the 18th of this month, so for almost that length of time we have been trying to get pregnant. After 9 months of trying my family doctor sent me to a fertility specialist, we found out that we fall into the 10-15% that infertility is unexplained. Since April of 07 we've been doing treatments on and off, because of my age my doctor went right into the IUI treatment instead of just trying medications first. We have done 3 treatments one of which was cancelled because I had too many follicles. So today we went back to try for a 4th time.
Now in between treatments we managed to get pregnant, however I miscarried. So I start thinking the one time I get pregnant is right after taking antibiotics for whooping cough, my thought is, is infertility connected to the immune system? I have two dogs that I am allergic to, is having them causing me to not conceive? So I try to research this and find only one article on infertility and Asthma and they say no correlation.. There really can't be only one article out there can there?

My wife and I married at approx. 28 years of age and tried for the next 5 years to conceive. She was a very busy manager and a type-A to boot which meant she was really too stressed and on top of that found out what the fertility problems were AFTER we got pregnant. She had Endometriosis, a blocked fallopian tube, and fibroid tumors. But, we ended up having essentially the week of our anniversary as the only successful week for conception for all three of our children. I guess we just got to the point where we unwound and things happened. The specialists had no explanation and didn't even believe her until she showed pictures of our first child.
I really believe that in our case we tried way too hard and too often which meant I wasn't exactly making the maximum contribution on top of everything else. I think all of the little things stop the big things from happening.
All that to say - go with your instincts and relax if you can. I also really believe in prayer.
I believe we were trying too hard as well, I am not giving up but I have decided to no longer obssess about it. So maybe this will be it for us. Ive done all the tests so we know I don't have any "problems" I am starting to believe I stressed myself into not getting pregnant.. I am a little bit of a control freak and this not going the way I planned hasn't sat well with me :)
