Hi Cristin! You seem like a really optimistic person. I love it when I meet people like you 🙂 You are so right. We should always check every possibility first. Because this is the only way we can be sure that we will find a cure. I personally have seen ladies not thinking like this. Everyone wants to have a child but when they hear a bad news, they lose it. This is not how a person should act in such cases. Crying won’t help. Every infertile should think about the options that are available to them before giving it up. I agree with one of the ladies who commented that sometimes, there is no need for IUI and IVF and like treatments. All you need to do is to just change your lifestyle. Like avoiding oily dishes was recommended to me by my doctor. Had I given up after my OBGYN told me that I was infertile (a lie), I wouldn’t be sitting here typing this after changing my baby’s diaper 🙂 Always seek a second opinion.
