Answer

Found this group. Hubby and I were blessed with a baby boy in April of 2020. Here we are still trying for baby number two since Oct 2021. Hitting the holidays this year and two friends telling me they’re pregnant has left me crying lots of tears with some tears and emotions hitting me at work today. I feel so lost. I don’t know what more to do. I can’t believe we’ve been trying for well over a year now.

Answer

For me I needed to feel like I was actively investigating, doing everything in my power to figure out what was going on. Started with an HSG, then two hysteroscopies (switched doctors after 3 failed rounds of IVF. Turned out the first doctor missed a septum!), then I had my daughter…fast forward to struggles with secondary infertility. Had my husband see a urologist to get more advanced tests, switched doctors again when the second was throwing his hands up, went to a reproductive immunologist. Pregnant now with my rainbow baby. Don’t get me wrong - I was depleted, depressed, angry, sad, but I just knew I had to be relentless. It was the only thing that helped me feel  just a little less powerless. It’s all so personal, I don’t know if this will translate for you, but either way, sending you lots of love. Also, forgive yourself for your emotions. It’s okay to feel how you’re feeling.

Answer

Only suggestion I can give is take it day by day. Sometimes (especially being on here and seeing all the hpt tests) I find I want to cry and delete the app. It seems to create an even worse ache. Sometimes, I also have hope....until month after month turns into years. I just am not ready to say I cannot have anymore. Only thing I can tell you is you are not alone. Baby dust to you. I hope both of our journeys result in healthy happy babies.

Answer

No advice but here for support. It's really hard :(

Answer

Therapy and a bit of  distance from people who triggered my bad emotions.
