I was going to wait one more cycle before contacting the local women's health center that specializes in infertility, but I really don't think I should wait at all. So, I'm sitting here about to call but I need to compose myself because I feel like I'm about to bawl. I have no idea why. I think part of me feels ashamed and embarrassed to admit that I'm failing. Part of me is scared that I'll find out there is nothing that can be done and I'll never fall pregnant. Another part of me feels excitement that I'm making a good step that can result in a successful pregnancy. I had no idea I would react this way.
I say call them. Hopefully they can help you get your rainbow baby. I know the unknown is so scary but I have faith that they can help you and you will get pregnant. I'm excited for you. Let us know after you call when your first appointment is. Good Luck. I'll be thinking about you!!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! It helped me boost myself and make a couple of calls. The first place I called really gave me vague information and the only doctor there who deals with infertility is a man who honestly looks like he's about 90 years old. I am way more comfortable with a female so that was discouraging. I then looked up another place that is actually closer to home and am going in next Wednesday the 3rd for a consultation. I am hoping that date is a good sign because it is my baby sister's birthday (I say baby, but she's turning 30). I am overwhelmed with emotions right now and absolutely terrified, but I am also optimistic and feel good about making a big step in the right direction. I hope I don't start bawling when I see her, but if I do, I also hope she will understand. Again, thanks for the support! I don't know what I'd do without you all!
Sara I send u best of luck at your appointment. I am sure the dr would understand your emotions. Sending you s

Thanks ladies! You are the best!! I am looking forward to getting a plan of action in place. Now I have a week to prepare with questions and I'm going to print out my charts to show her.
Ohhh good luck! My DH and I finally bit the bullent and went after 3 years of TTC with one loss. Even though it can be expensive, I just feel so calm and at peace with my decision. Better late than never is my opinion on the matter.
