Conceiving naturally V. Fertility Clinic

Hello everyone,

I haven’t been on this app in a min & it’s because the things we read and see are not always what we want and when your ttc it kinda takes a big toll on you - well at least for me it did. Anyway, I’m glad to be back because although it can be hard sometimes I know that I’m not alone and the support we all receive on here can definitely make up for some of those not so good days.

Well, it’s been over a year and half since me and my fiancé have been trying to conceive our first baby together & it truly has not been easy. We are finally going to have our second visit with our fertility doctor & this is a big visit for us because we’ve did all the testing we needed and I guess this would be phase two of our journey. We are scheduled for our appointment on March 16th & honestly the more it gets closer to the date the more I feel sad , which I know is very strange. I know that I probably should be more excited and anxious but I can’t help but feel sad. I feel sad that we are here and that this is what it takes to have our baby! I feel less of a women and honestly it truly breaks my heart to think about explaining to my future child how we struggled to have him or her & that this is what it took. & just for disclosure I know that everyone’s baby journey is different and can definitely be worse than mine and vice versa but I just truly can help but feel this way & I wanted to know if anyone else felt this way when starting their journey at a fertility clinic & if so how did you handle it ?

Thank you.
