Does this ever get easier?

Question

I have been trying for almost three years now. I've watched many of my best friends and family members get married, try for one month, get pregnant and have a baby in that time. I look around me and people's lives keep moving on and mine just seems to be standing still. I've read about many of you ladies trying for a lot longer than me, so please tell me this journey gets easier. I really don't want to feel like this for much longer. Even though of course I want to have a baby, I most want to stop feeling sad about not being able to have one.

Answer

It does not get easy. Every time I think we have fixed an issue, a new one arrises. I feel like I am living a constant hell. I wish I could just be okay with the life I have, without kids. I want a family so much though that I can't let it go.😔

Answer

I have been TTC for about 3 and a half. Year #2-3 was the hardest.....as of now we are done trying so hard. We went to the doctor and know our reason for the struggle.... Low count, motility, morphology. We tried meds and iui with no success. We have struggled in our marriage and become closer and stronger BC of it. It also was so hard to see some of my close family share our pain bc of the hurt we were going through.  After our iui we decided we were done BC we don't want to do in vitro. We have nothing against it but it just isn't right for us. I finally have been starting to accept that infertility does not need to define me as me, as a wife, as a woman. I still pray that I can have my own child but maybe adoption is the route my husband and I need to take. Right now we are enjoying each other again and might get serious about adoption in the future.

Answer

I know how you feel!! Trust me I tried for 7 years. Everyone around me was on baby 2 and I was still trying. I have gone through times of deep depression. Once a doctor told me that it would be easier to find a needle in a haystack than to get pregnant... Another doctor stupidly said to me, are you sure you're doing it right.. I wanted to slap him... Nevertheless I never saw those doctors again and my daughter is going to be 4! Don't give up!!! I know you hear that 100 times over and over but don't let it lose its value. You will conceive.

Answer

I feel the same way, it feels like we are stuck. We both want a baby so bad and every month af comes.

Answer

Same here

Answer

It may be time to ask for help. I went to a fertility specialist after a year and left the office with a plan that day. It was very empowering. I feel the same as you... As if my friends don't somehow deserve what I want so badly because I've been waiting for longer!

Answer

I am at 11 years. 1 miscarriage and I would love to say it gets easier, but it doesn't. We have our gosh knows how any iuis next month. I'm hoping this will be it. Every month I some how find more hope for that month. I'm hoping your pain will be over soon. I'm sorry you are dealing with this.
