Third Time's the Charm, Right?

For 4 years now, Dave and I have been wanting to have a baby and obviously haven't had one yet. There is nothing wrong with us medically; we have "unexplained infertility." Our new Reproductive Endocrinologist recommended going forward with 3 IUI cycles. To summarize: an unpleasant treatment that is the last effort before moving on to in vitro fertilization, the Mother of all fertility treatments, at over $10,000 a cycle and lots of drugs and doctor's visits. We have been doing IUIs for the past two months, with no success. To say that all of this has been hard is an understatement. Thankfully, with God and the Restored Gospel in our lives, we have had many spiritual experiences to sustain us through this trial. We know that we will have children, and we know that I will get pregnant "soon." We're just hoping that "soon" means next month! So, please send your prayers and good thoughts our way this month! Thank you!
