A False Positive Farewell

What I wouldn't give for two lines; two legit lines. In the 5.5 years we've been ttc, we've never gotten a false positive. It's been a week and I still feel as if my entire chest cavity is empty and collapsing. I can't cope with the constant disappointment anymore.

I'm throwing in the towel. I have created life one time and it will never happen again. It's time to make peace with that reality. I'm luckier than some to have had one child.

I've been a pretty silent user of Glow for awhile. I don't contribute much to the community here and I don't try to make friends... I'm basically a hermit in all forms. But what little interaction I've had has been overwhelmingly supportive.

Thanks and I wish you all the best.

Hopefully you've seen a Dr to figure out if there's anything medically wrong, or not, after ttc for that long If under 35 years old you can see a Dr after one year ttc, if over 35 after 6 months ttc. I'm 38 and been ttc 2 years 6 months, just saw the Dr because I miscarried twice in that time, they tested EVERYTHING and found nothing wrong and no explanation for repeated losses. So at least I know there's nothing wrong that I could have done differently. It's not a comfort but at least I know. They might be able to tell you something that could help and it doesn't hurt to be seen by a Dr and maybe get a diagnosis or treatment plan. I know fertility treatments can be expensive, which is why we have chosen not to do them for ttc #3, but maybe there's something to be done. I'm not judging promise, just offering some tips based on my experiences. Best of luck to you.
