Feeling like giving up

Hi Feelinglost,

Let me first reassure you that abortions medically speaking rarely provoke infertility...infertility just happens to about anyone.

We're here to help, and at this time, would highly recommend you visit specifically an RE (you can find one near you through this site) who can help you by running various tests on you and your husband. If there's a problem, it'll be addressed and you'll be helped to start a family. Hang in there, and we as a community are here to help and let you know you are not alone in this journey. Please keep us posted.

Thank you Dr. Q I will do this!

Hi Feeling Lost,

I am a member on this site, and I too am experiencing difficulty in becoming pregnant.

My husband and i have been trying for 2years, we are now seeing an RE. He has us on Clomid and we will do an iui next month.

This is the hardest time of life, coping with infertility. Last night i broke down and confessed to my husband exactly how hard this. I work from home and have a small business, i have hardly been able to work and may loose my business over this, this is affecting every part of my life.

But we have to stay positive don't we. I am not going to give up and i hope you don't either. I personally believe that fertility is all about hormones and when we get them in synch we will be able to concieve. I believe with the right help from doctors and us doing everything that we can, it will happen. Don't loose faith. I know it's hard, but in the end it will be worth it, right?

Take Care,

sheri

Hi Sheri,

It's hard to explain but finding this site has given me a better outlook with this problem. Now knowing how big infertility is has made me look into my health and the past stuff I have done to my poor old body:-). I don't want to put my body thru chemicals because I don't react to meds very well. I'm now looking into herbal treatments and Chinese meds. As you stated hormones is the key and I agree with you 100%.

I understand about not being able to focus on anything and I did the same thing yesterday. I broke down yesterday when noone was home and then again last night with the hubby. I keep on thinking I did something or my terrible ex-husband gave me something because of his cheating ways but the dr's have not found anything. Finding this site and the wonderful people in it is keeping me positive and the support that I have here. Please let me know what happens with you? Keeping you in my thoughts-feeling lost

I just wanted to let you all know that I think that letting it all out once in a while is a good thing. I broke down with my husband on Sunday and my mom on Monday and sometimes all I need is a good cry and a chance to tell someone how I am feeling.

Im thinking of giving up too

Feeling... I am 39 (40 in 2 weeks)...be patient! I am overweight & had been trying for 4 mo, I finally gave in & saw an RE. After you have been trying 6 mo & are over 35, any RE will see you. I just explained to my RE in the initial consult, I want to be preg b4 I turn 40. That WAS 10/08 & I am now Pregnant. We got our BFP on our first IUI. We just needed a boost! **BABYDUST*** DONT GIVE UP!

I was 39 when I conceived our daughter and one month after giving birth, I turned 40.

I understand about feeling the "desire" to just "quit". It took us 14 years to get our daughter.

I wish you all the BEST....hope your dreams come true....waiting is the worst part.

hi feeling lost,

this site gives people hope and support to make them stronger and confidence on what they are doing or facing at the moment. We are all in the same boat wanting a miracle in our lives .I wil pray for you , dont worry..

*****baby dust*** to everyone here.

please dont give up, rome was not built in a day, and babies are not made in a day, i hear alot of stoies were the time line fot ttc is small. people tend to panick, they think " this is wot my body i made for why is it not working" asking yourself that and a thousand other questions are putting stress on yourselfs and not helping matters, calm down take a deep breat and say "i am a healthy happy woman and i am in a peak phyical and emotional place and my body and i are ready for this" say that every morning and feel your spirits rise good luck to everyone :)
