infertility : the struggle 3

I seriously need to get it going with this infertility series..
aaaaaaanywayyyyyy,
i'd like to continue about the HSG procedure.
went to the hospital with husband to get it done only to be refused by the lab people since we had had intercourse between menstruation to the day of procedure.
well, we werent informed. we wanted to do it, get ot out of the way. so the doctor called his boss whos a specialist to talk to us.
A very nice religious man, lembut je cakap.
he said we should know that should we have concieved and didnt know that n had the hsg anyway, we cant keep the baby because of the xray exposure.
wait now. I knew it was not going to be that easy to concieve, and told the doctor thank you sir but i know its now going to be as easy hahahah. so he said ok n let us do it.
the xray was perfect alhamdulillah no blockage n such.
we were relieved. i did the procedure at hospital sultan ismail n the people there were amazing,thank you.
the next appointment, the doctor sat down with us to disscuss the test results.
everything to their knowledge is fine. so my condition falls under 'unexplained infertility'. meaning yeah there might be somthing wrong with you but we wont know it. turns out there are other conditions that the Lppkn didnt have the means to detect.
one of the possibility is my uterus environment could be hostile to the sperm, killing them everytime they enter. which sounds like the condition that monica character from FREINDS had.but they cant know for sure.
so the doctor put us on clomid (fertility pill) to get the eggs bigger n produce more than one egg per cycle. we tried 2 rounds of clomid before that n it didnt work. so we had a feeling this time isnt going to work neither. true enough it didnt, so we resorted to IUI. Thats for intrauterine insemination.
We were elated n was hoping to concieved twins! pretty Ambitious huh hahaahh
and no the IUI didnt work. aunt flow came. to be honest we werent that dissapointed, as we know it just means we have to try harder. God willing, it will happen, we were sure.
then i got transfered to putrajaya n DH stayed in JB. then i wasnt so sure anymore.
we only get to see each other on weekends, so hows this going to work.
i sat husband down n told him,maybe we should adopt. maybe God didnt mean for us to concieve. Maybe God has bigger plans for us by adopting. I was okay, contented n redha.
husband didnt really fancy the idea. he wanted to wait. by then we have been married for 4 years and seriously trying for 2 years.
i said fine, by the time im 30, if i havent concieved, im adopting! hahaha i made up my mind.
and then we concieved. just like that. Allah is truly Great. Alhamdulillah.
.
.
and so we are now trying for our second one. and should it is fated that we were only to have this one only, insya Allah im going to consider adopting.theres so many children in the world who need love, and i have so much love to give.
And so we began our journey to try to concieve baby #2. send your doa our way ye!
