Anyone in your family who's struggled/is struggling with infertility?

My sister-in-law struggled with unexplained infertility for exactly two years this month- and this morning she got her BFP! I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!!

nope...which is why I am here cause I have no one to talk to about it!!!

Quite a few actually. My parents tried for about 3 years to have their first child....and then went on to have 5 of us . I have an aunt and uncle and a cousin and his wife who experienced secondary infertility but did eventually have more kids. I currently have 2 male cousins who are deaing with male infertility (ironic b/c that is our issue as well but obviously it's not something that runs in the family b/c it's my family and not DH's).

Not really. My sister, and sister-in-law both have kids. So I've talked to my sister a little about it. But that is mainly why I joined this board. I don't really have anyone to talk to. I haven't really told anyone we are trying, and I'm not sure why. I guess I don't want people to pity me, or have the, "Oh they are having trouble," conversation behind my back. So thanks, ladies, for giving me a sounding board!

my sister in law had ovary issues and they never pursued having children past finding out their issues. makes me sad for them cause they wanted children.

I know a few... Mostly DH's family. He has an aunt and uncle who tried for a while, couldn't get pregnant and adopted. On his Mom's side, he has an aunt and uncle who tried, but couldn't get pregnant and they decided not to adopt. Another aunt and uncle did IVF with their 2 kids.

The only people in the world that yell at people for asking DH and I when we're going to have kids is DH's Aunt- the one who ended up adopting. She must have hated that question when she struggled and I'm always thankful for her for yelling since no one knows we're trying! LOL

Not one single person

Just my Mom, which is why I told her early on what was going on with us. She wasn't able to have any kids after me (I'm her only). She went through cycles of Clomid but had adverse reactions to it. Unfortunately, we didn't have the money growing up for her to try anything else, so she's left with me.. And now I can't even give her any grandbabies.
