Roll call!!! Who feels overwhelmed with this whole TTC today?

Carolina β€’ 1 fresh successful cycle 2015 ! 15 month daughter via IVF and going thru FET Aug 2017 πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ 1 embryo ready for transfer!
Doesn't feel like easy like a Sunday morning today!! I am trying to push thru and remind myself of all the blessings I DO HAVE. That just makes me feel guilty for being this sad. Why do we want it all? too early in the am to be this tearful! 😭😭

My hands up! I just don't understand how I can miss something so much that I've never had. TTC is a pain I've never experienced before. I'm trying to stay positive but it's that thin line/balance of positivity and reality. I'm told to stay positive but it crushes me so much more in the end. Then I try to be realistic and that's depressing too. Blah!

On my way to host a baby shower and found out someone else is expecting. In my TWW and on progesterone (hello hormones and maybe an extra excuse?) but I definitely had a little breakdown.

It is really tough, been trying with hormones (I'm responding to letrozole diagnosed PCOS) and trigger shots for 3 months, and dr told us (due to low sperm count) if this months IUI doesn't work ivf, my consult appt is the 19th... There are some strong ladies in these forums who've been doing this much longer than I But if someone else tells me to relax or I'm being too sensitive I might loose my mind. It's so overwhelming to have people just not understand, my sister in law was one of those who got pregnant the first month they were trying and although she means well she posts things on social media about waiting for me to have one. I know it's not malicious but it hurts, every stroller, baby bottle, baby bump... Hurts. I've been debating whether or not to post my struggle on facebook so that if there are more friends of mine that are going through this they can find their voice, but I don't know if I can handle the pity comments that will surely come. Ugh... I agree too early on a subday. Thankfully my two week wait ends next Saturday or sooner depending on good/bad news, and I leave for a cruise, so either way I know relief from this is soon. Goodluck to all of you and baby dust for all!!! Xoxox

I would have been to "blame" for not being able to get pregnant when in reality it's a dual effort!!!

I'm having a hard time today too! Currently 13 dpo on our first cycle after mc and have been trying for 13 months. Have been on clomid, trigger shot, progesterone suppositories and in oil shots. Hpt negative the past two days and temp dropped today and having AF like cramps so not looking hopeful. Blood work tomorrow to confirm. And spent yesterday watching my friend's 4 month old while she was at her sister's wedding....which was fun but emotionally hard thinking how I should be having a baby in 3 months but had a mc at 9 weeks and now ttc again with infertility. πŸ˜“ Glad it was a weekend so I can be sad and cry when I want to. Hopefully AF will show up soon so I can move on to the next month. This site is so great with all the support and shared experiences. My friends all get pregnant within 2-3 months so don't have anyone who understands except my husband to talk to about it.

I don't know. I know I will truly be thankful when one arrives! I saw you're going to be doing ivf this month....best of luck and lots of prayers! We will be adding bravelle and an iui to clomid, trigger shot, and progesterone so hoping it works!

It is honestly so hard sometimes. I try to remember that if we can't  conceive that we can still raise a family through adoption!

Totally 100% feel the same way. It's hard to keep reminding yourself that your time will come and to be patient. I feel guilty for feeling sad about it because I know how good I have it... But it still make me so frustrated.

Yup!!!! What a struggle!
