If it all gets too much for a moment

I also always found it awful when people said, “It’ll be fine, because the neighbor’s sister of my coworker had the same thing and now she has two kids.” Just because it works out for one person doesn’t mean it’ll work the same for another.

If you really want to get pregnant, I wouldn’t advise skipping it. However, I would definitely discuss these feelings with your gynecologist. Maybe you could suggest trying a different medication? In my opinion, the chances with hormone injections are higher than with Clomid. Clomid also takes a huge emotional toll on you, even leading to depressive feelings. If you’ve lost confidence, ask for something else—that really gives a boost to your self-confidence, and who knows, maybe it’ll work then!

Wishing you lots of strength, and you’re not alone!

Such a relatable story! For 2 years, it was just the wish... so scared after 1.5 years of not being able to become a mom. My sister got pregnant, friends and acquaintances did. I shed a lot of tears over it.

January 2017, the day of my birthday. A positive test.
October 2017, I gave birth to a beautiful son. Just 3 months as a mom, and on Feb 13, 2018, we got another positive test. October 2018, I was due for my second little boy. So special. You wait so long for your wish to come true. And now I'm becoming a mom twice in one year.

I understand how you feel. But don't lose hope. Don't cancel appointments. And keep talking about it.

Love, a mom who knows your feelings through and through xx

@Nana I completely understand how you feel.
We stopped the pill in Oct 2016 and also hoped for a quick pregnancy.
Secretly, I hoped that our baby would be there on our wedding day, 10-8-18 ;-)
However, I didn't get pregnant. Eventually, I went to the GP who said it would work out, that we are young, just let go, etc. Then I said that I wanted nothing more than to try naturally, but that I needed to know I wasn't just hoping for something that would never happen.
Eventually, in January, we ended up at the hospital, and it turned out there were no sperm cells in my husband's sperm. We'll never know the cause, but we didn't expect this—we are healthy young people, so our world crumbled. Months of uncertainty followed with endless waiting lists.
Eventually, in June, we had a PESA, but only a few dead sperm cells were found, so we went for TESE, which ultimately yielded 8 straws of sperm
In August, we could finally start with ICSI. 21 eggs were retrieved, from which eventually 4 embryos were created, frozen on day 5.
I wasn't allowed to have a fresh transfer because they were afraid of overstimulation. However, I felt perfectly fine and had been looking forward to the transfer for months. I was deeply disappointed, and then they casually said, "Girl, you're still young, you have all the time," and that I had to wait two cycles before the transfer.
That assistant probably didn't really understand how much pain such a comment causes when you've been trying for 2 years and have no chance of a natural pregnancy.
On October 18th, I have an evaluation appointment, and I hope to finally get my transfer in early November (in Dec and Jan the hospital is mostly closed anyway, so otherwise it would be February again )
I think it's especially important to keep talking ;-) I hope you get pregnant quickly and easily Love

It’s such a blessing that we can find some support for each other here, dears!
Each of us deserves to become a mother
We’ve also been trying for two years now, and I totally agree that some days are easier than others!

@nana I’d have your boyfriend get tested, because it was the same for us. I had a miscarriage last year and at the time I thought everything was fine with us, etc., and a year later still not pregnant. Apparently my husband has very poor sperm. He’s going to get his sperm tested again soon and then we’ll see what treatment we get. If I were you, I’d try to get him tested too. Sperm quality can decline very quickly.
