Give up, but not on yourselves!
Just read.
I know this may not help, and I know because of experience, so I'm sorry if I upset anyone further. However, I was trying for almost 5 years, 5 incredibly long, painful years and three miscarriages. I was getting told since I was 14 that I would probably never be able to conceive. That "pregnant woman glow" everyone always talks about, I feel like it is especially bright for those who can't conceive. Everywhere you look it's as I've all you see is this massive light radiating from a pregnant woman or a cute little family in the grocery store. It's all you can see at a certain point and I know how painful it is. I blamed myself constantly. Cried CONSTANTLY because I felt like I was useless. What kind of woman could I be if I couldn't have a child? Isn't that the point of being a woman? I struggled with addiction. I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt. But 5 years later, here I am, 8 weeks pregnant today. I didn't do anything special. Quite opposite, actually. I gave up on the thought of ever being able to have a kid. I completely convinced myself that it would never happened. I started popping pain pills and drinking again, and then found out that I was pregnant. I feel horrible. But it made me see, that maybe, just MAYBE timing really does have something to do with it, and that maybe, as much as we HATE hearing it, maybe "It'll happen when you stop trying" is really true.
Give up ladies, but NEVER give up on yourselves. You all deserve the world.
