Stepping in....

[proudmommyof3]

I have been in TTC for a long time and wanted to come join here, too. My DF and I have been TRYING on and off for 2 1/2 years, between losses and my surgery (that has yet to bless us with a miracle) I am just plain tired. This is the man I have dreamed of my whole life...can't wait to get married and be blessed with our bundle. In the meantime, I am enjoying the children I do have, and of course; HIM. He is fun, funny, sweet, caring, and the list goes on...just amazing. Month after month, especially when "I am pretty sure this is it" I feel defeated and like I am failing him. I start my fertility testing next week and am so nervous, but at the same time IF there is something wrong, hopefully we can fix it and move forward. I am to the point where I am just ready to do IUI, but I know I need to give it more time, and I really want to keep TRYING the natural way...making love....baby making love!!! I am not charting or keeping track, I need a break, but maybe, just maybe (a girl can dream right) it will happen when I STOP trying and thinking about it....it's so hard. I know you ladies understand. Thanks for listening and I will take an advice you have to offer......

I'm so sorry that you are also struggling. I have no advice. I will also be seeing an RE next week to try to figure out what might be going on with me. I hope that we both have answers soon!

Welcome to the room, although I'm sorry you have to be here. When I first saw the RE I was nervous but also kind of excited because I wanted to have a plan. But it is tough to come to terms with the fact that you may not be able to conceive the fun, baby-making way. After trying for 2 1/2 years I don't think that's too early to consider IUI -- if you and DF are ready for it. I did several IUI's to get pg with my DS, and I'm currently in my 2ww from IUI#2 as we are STC #2. They really are not too bad, but maybe I have just resigned myself to it because I can't get pg otherwise! Join us in our NET and get caught up with the rest of the group -- there are several of us on here who post fairly regularly.

welcome to the room no one wants to join...lol As life has it, unfortunately, some must struggle to get pregnant and it sucks. Anyone who has STC can understand your frustration and feelings of failure. It is so common to have good positive days and also some negative ones too. Feel free to jump into our NET as that is where we post most commonly. Support and understanding makes those negative days a little more bearable.
