Unexplained Infertility

From my experience reading stories and talking to others going through infertility, a lot of people are in the 'unexplained infertility' basket, and this is the basket we now find ourselves in.

This week I had my lapropscopy operation, in which they went in through two points in my abdomen using keyhole surgery to investigate if they could find any endometriosis and or other problems.
I guess it's good news that they didn't find anything but at the same time it's still not an answer as to why we are not pregnant.

It's such a weird thing to be wanting something to be wrong with you, I was really hoping they would find something.....something to tell me that there is a reason we have gone through all this, something that they can tell me they can fix.
But there is nothing there to fix, there appears to be no reason we are not pregnant.

I feel angry that I had to go through an operation (including an allergic reaction to one of the drugs after the op) and still have no answers.
Every test, procedure and operation is so time consuming, costly and emotionally exhausting and most of them end with us still having no answers.....very frustrating!


So I guess the reality of IVF is getting closer and closer.
We are going to make another appointment with our specialist and get the ball rolling on it.
I can already feel myself going through so many emotions just thinking about IVF, fear, anger, frustration and most of all a complete sense of being overwhelmed!
