When do you give up ?

I’ve been ttc almost 10 years now, I’m 31, doctors can’t figure out why it hasn’t happened neither of us seem to have any problems but every month …. Almost 120 months of trying, being a few days late thinking it must finally be my time to waking up the next morning getting my period… and on top of that I get the heaviest most painful periods I’ve just got to a point where nothing is working it’s just constant disappointment and pain I’m thinking about going on the pill that way I can’t be disappointed every month when my period arrives and my period pain won’t be as bad.

We gave up quite soon after the 10 year mark, just got to the point where we could no longer afford further treatments and it was really affecting our mental health. I have PCOS and low AMH, I’d had ovarian drilling surgeries to try to correct it however it left me with a lot of scar tissue and I wasn’t able to ovulate. Last year we decided to just accept it wouldn’t happen. We saved and treated ourselves to an amazing holiday, I quit my job and changed careers to something less stressful. Over Christmas we both just enjoyed our time together and got extreemmmmmmlllllllyyyyyyy drunk 😳 January 7th I got my first ever positive test and I’m now 37 weeks with our little girl!!We were told it wouldn’t happen, that we should adopt an animal instead and yet somehow all of these years later it’s happened. I used to hate when people would say “ it’ll happen when it’s meant to “ but now I truly believe that they were right!! 💕💕💕

Im sorry you are going through this and i hope you get your bfp soon. Dh and i tried for 6 long years get pregnant. At our 6 year anniversary (aug) i told him i wanted to quit ttc but after talking about it we agreed to try one more time. Well of course the next month (sept) as per usual i got my period. At this point we both threw in our towel and just enjoyed us. It was the absolute bestt. I threw caution out the window and stopped cutting back on things i use to and it was honestly like we first met all over again. Then the following month (oct) 2 days before af i had this strange feeling to test that i cant explain, i tried to ignore it because i was cramping so bad at the time i just knew my period was coming. After ignoring the feeling i finally caved and took my last test (i couldnt bring myself to throw it out) and long and behold we got our first ever bfp!!! Our blessing just turned 4 in june and we just celebrated 10 years in august! I honestly think us stopping ttc gave our minds and bodies time to just relax, do whatever we wanted when we wanted and have no worries.
