Anybody else feel like less of a woman ?

Question

Okay, let me preface with.. I don’t believe this is true at all.. but, I still can’t help but feel like I’m “below average” as a woman because I haven’t been able to conceive and my “numbers” were so low with our IVF cycle. Things I have no control over... some days I feel better than others but this process makes me feel so inadequate. Ugh...

Answer

Yes, sort of.  There's a huge guilt factor since my husband has super sperm and I'm "the problem." He's been very reassuring and sweet about it all, but I still feel down on myself sometimes. Especially when I see other women get pregnant so easily.

Answer

Me

Answer

No because not all women can or try to have children. But I do think it's a common feeling and you are completly valid in feeling this way. Infertility is terrible and the desire to have a kid can be overwhelming at times.
