My husband and I tried in vain to reverse his vasectomy in March of 2005, to no avail. The past 2 years has been a lot of heart ache trying to have the baby that would complete our family. I do have a daughter from a previous relationship, and he has 2 boys from a previous marrage. But our dream is one together.
I have never had such heart ache (although I know there are far worse things than being infertile) but we have a wonderfuly strong relationship now...just need to complete it.
I also have more info on this subject than any one person should possess, so if there is someone who could benifit, I would love to help...

I myself, do not have any infertility issues, but a dear friend of mine does, and has spent the last 4 years trying to concieve. This couple has also gone through the process of getting approved for adoption, but that is a waiting game. They are now considering surrogacy, but that is sooo expensive.
I know you probably hear this all of the time and are sick of hearing it, but hang in there....I really do believe in miracles, I heard too many stories of infertile couples finally being able to concieve after years of not being able to- to not believe in them! I'll say a prayer for you!
Thanks Margo, I know the Lord has a plan for us, and it is His will and not ours....but my heart just dosen't get that. We could go for another redo, which my husband is willing to do (which is amazing, considering all the complications he had with the original reversal) but we just don't have the $10,000 it would be for the dr we want. After our first disaster, I don't think he would be willing to go to anyone else.
I have my good days, and I have my bad days. My husband just doesn't talk about it anymore. Other than this, we have a pretty good life, tons of stress like every one else, but good none the less. But thanks for the encouragement and prayers, I will take all I can get. Donna
My husband and I have been struggling with infertility. We have been trying to conceive for about 5 years now with no luck. I recently found a new doctor and we are going to try some different things. We haven't done a lot up until this point because we aren't sure how far we want to go with all the advanced techniques. We are dealing with it the best we can but somedays it seems hopeless. It's always nice to know that you are not alone in this so if you would like, you can pm me anytime, just to chat!
my best friend was struggling with infertility for a while after having a miscarriage with her first pregnancy. I felt awful for her. I actually was discussing with my DH about being a surrogat for her (he was ok with it, my mom was not) Well, she became pregnant during that time with a healthy baby girl and now has added on a beautiful baby boy. One of my other friends has been trying for over 6 years and still is. I just want to say to keep faith that what's ment to be will be. Stay positive! It really does help, I wish you both the very best.
I am now in my fifties, but when I was first married and around 27 years old, my husband and I tried for years to have a baby, and I went through some pretty gruesome infertility treatment, but to no avail. It was hard at the time, but I realized what was to be, was to be, and tried to look on the bright side. I have 5 wonderful nephews who are 'my boys', and my eldest nephew and his wife have just had our first little girl in the family.
Instead I concentrated on a career that enabled me to travel the world, and I have always had cats - my surrogate family!
Do I regret it? Of course, but there's nothing I could have done more, so I don't even go down that path any more.
I wish you all well.
I have been through it! First of all you should have tests and see if anything is "wrong" with either of you and go from there. With me they didn't find anything wrong. I ended up going to a natural medicine dr., I was desperate, he helped me and now I have 3 beautiful and healthy kids! With no fertility drugs or any of that. I went to see him and he thought I was low in iron since I was miscarrying so he gave me a supplement and a couple of other herbs which I can't remember what they were now, and he put me on a diet which is supposed to make your body healthy and work the way it's supposed to. He also massaged my uterus. He said that I would be ready to get pregnant in two months. Sure enough I got pregnant two months later! When my son turned 1 we thought we'd better start trying for the second since it took so long with the first and I got pregnant with twins!
So hang in there and try to be healthy, if anyone wants that dr.'s number, feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to give it to ya!
