How do you cope?

Hi guys,

Looking for some help and support...again.

How do you cope? 2 years ttc and just had our first round of ivf which failed at the last stages. (Start of June)

We’re going to do another round next month. I was really positive to go for another round, I felt great at first to push on for round 2 last week. But now I’m feeling completely overwhelmed and really sad that this might not actually work. I may never carry my own child. We could do donor egg but I just can’t help but feel depressed about this. Is that normal?

I now feel like I haven’t dealt with the failed first round, yet we’re planning appointments for round 2. I have very low AMH and they think I’m going through early menopause, so I feel like I haven’t got time to wait around and feel sad about round 1.

I feel useless if I’m honest. I don’t feel like I can even tell my amazing partner as he’s keen for round 2.

Any wise words xxx
