facts & tips for dealing with infertility

• Ob/Gyns are not equip to help the infertile girl. I recommend you start with a reproductive endocrinologist or as they are know RE. They can help diagnose your problem.
• Fertility peaks at age 27. No one ever told me that. This is a very helpful piece of information.
• Once your problem is diagnosed, you must be aggressive and tell your doctor what you want. Chances are, they will start you out on clomid. The plain truth is it's cheap. So it has been my experience that this is the firs thing everyone tries.
  
• Clomid does not work for everyone. Don't waist too much time on it.
• If your doctor is not treating you (medically) the way you want to be treated, it's time to move on to a new doctor.
• You are in charge of your fertility treatment, never forget this. You are paying for your treatment (and chances are it's not covered by your insurance) so be sure you are getting the care you want and need. You decide when it's time to get more aggressive with your treatments, when it's time to move on to something else. It's your body, it's your life. You don't have time to waste where fertility is concerned.
• If you want to be a mom, you will be able to stick yourself in the belly with a needle, this is a very small thing to overcome in the route to motherhood.
