What. the. hell. <br /><br />I am in the same boat, trying just about as long as you, since May 2008 actively trying, off birth control a year before that. My husband has passed his tests, like holbs. I also have had tests that really don't point in any direction - <i>unexplained</i> infertility, really? On top of it all, I am a nurse specializing in labor & delivery. <br /><br />Anyways, I feel like I ran into your blog for a reason. I'm not alone, and it's amazing to realize that.

And try as you might it just won't happen until that time. That is why I think that people who thought they were infertile sometimes get pregnant after they adopt; it's not because they "relaxed" and stopped trying, it's because the child they adopted was meant for them. So, when they recieve that child they are free to have their own bilogical baby. If they got pregnant right away they never would have adopted. I'm not saying adopt; I'm just saying that maybe there is a special little soul meant just for you who has more work to do wherever it is that babies hang out before they are born. I had a miscarriage almost a year ago and I like to think that my little soul just wasn't quite ready in the end, but when he or she is, along they will come.
