No babies this month. WHY IS IT EVERYONE BUT US?! I just don't understand, and I'm starting to just be angry. It's been the hardest most depressing year of my life, and there's no end in sight.

I'm so sorry. I've been there. I spent most of last year there and its totally normal and justified to be pissed off and angry. I didn't want to comment in the TTC thread cuz I don't go there. I had zero desire to move on to IVF too. There are no guarantees it will work, but it does make the odds much higher, and sometimes in the process they can figure out if something else is going wrong.
Have you checked out the IF boards around here? They are extremely informative and supportive, as there are lots of other people struggling to get pregnant. They also kind of know everything you'd ever want to know.
ETA: before you jump in, though - lurk a bit. They have some people who have been through many levels of hell TTC and thus are pretty strict with trigger warnings and such. Sometimes there is a "newbie playdate" thread - where anyone can ask questions, which is always educational. I can't remember exactly how long you've been TTC, and there's not really a set cutoff since we start with doctors, vs trying for a year first.

Thanks!
I am still very much in the normal range of trying especially for a lesbian couple, and even more so if I was a straight couple. It just feels SOOO much longer bc of cancelled cycles, and things. I'm sure we will try IVF but we really want to save it for reciprocal IVF, so that DW can carry my eggs, bc she has a diminished ovarian reserve. We've tried 6 cycles with my wife in the last 12 months 5 - medicated, and 1 natural at home. I tried two IUIs the first a chemical, and the second was poorly timed and negative. I get polyps removed on the 25, and it just feels like one thing after another.
There are also lots of things that went wrong that weren't our fault, like super shitty donor sperm, that was really only meant for IVF but I didn't find that out til later. I know that I CAN get pregnant through ICI or IUI as I had a chemical, but I'm just ready to throw in the towel and give up.
I'll check out the other boards, too. Thank you for listening to me whine.

rikkiandjulie, I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time of it and it's perfectly understandable that you are feeling discouraged. I wish I had some piece of advice I could offer at this point but my knowledge of IVF is limited to what I've learned on the boards. Just know that there are people thinking of you and, with your permission, praying for the best possible outcome for you both.
