The desire to conceive can be intense -- and couples encounter problems more often than you might think. About one in ten couples will experience infertility.
A recent study in Scotland found that, among couples who have unexplained infertility problems, the use of two common treatments didn't seem to have any significant effect on whether or not they ultimately conceived. Doctors tested a drug that stimulates ovulation and artificial insemination against doing nothing except counseling couples on the need to have regular sex -- and they found little difference in the numbers of couples who became pregnant.
What do you think? Can infertility treatments work miracles?

NOPE. NO MIRACLES HERE! WE FINALLY WERE SO GLAD TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON THE "MEDICAL" SIDE OF HAVING A CHILD, AND OPEN THE DOOR TO ADOPTION! WHAT A WONDERFUL THING INFERTILITY CAN BE FOR SOME. FOR US, IT LED US IN THE WAY OF ADOPTION, AND WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! SO FOR US, OUR MIRACLE WAS DELIVERED VIA ADOPTION, NOT INFERTILITY TREATMENTS. AND THAT WORKED GREAT FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had various fertility drugs. Clomid being one of them for PCOS. after 6 years (total) trying I resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn't going to happen. I relaxed. Changed my stressful job and "Hey Presto"...was pregnant with our son four weeks later!!!
Wow, these personal stories are so amazing -- thank you for sharing! I am so moved hearing about the different journeys women have taken -- thank you again!
