How much longer can we handle disappointment?

I don't think that we ever expected our journey to a baby to be like this. Even with the diagnosis of PCOS we figured it would take us a few round of Clomid and then we'd be on our way to having a family. As each round passed with no ovulation our prayers seemed farther and farther away. Of the 7 rounds of Clomid we went through ovulation only occured one time. SO disappointing...

I remember asking several doctors to test my husband's sperm, but kept hearing, he's young and healthy he should be OK. Finally, I insisted after visiting my 3rd doctor (an OB who performed IUI's). He went to the doctor's office and 'deposited' his sample. A few days later we got his results. Definitely wasn't what we were expecting. We were told that his count and motility wasn't too good. In one word... CRUSHED...

We brushed ourselves off and realized we needed to move on. We made an appointment with a new RE, whose group recently had a successful IVF with our best friends. Once meeting with with their PCOS specialist, we realized that this group was the group that we needed all along. When we left our meeting, we left with a plan. We would begin our first inject/IUI cycle once my next cycle started.

We FINALLY felt like we were on the right path...
