We've been ttc #2 for nearly 3 years. In that time i had a mmc at 9 weeks so had a couple of cycles off then.
My DS is not my husbands biological child and I would love nothing more than to give my husband a biological child and my son a sibling. However I just feel it's just becoming all too much.
I'm on my 2nd cycle of 50mg clomid and know that I've got one more month to take and its back off to hospital again to see the consultant (2 years to the date i was in there having medical miscarriage) who will up my dosage. I have one blocked tube, irregular ovulation, mild endometriosis and a low AMH score and have been told that IVF would only have a 15% success rate which we would have to self fund.
I'm due AF on Saturday and have been cramping since last Saturday i've poas few times all bfn, my cramps are intensifying and I know AF is on her way. I spoke to DH few days ago about giving up, he wants to try and continue for a bit longer as he is feeling really positive.
I just don't know if I can just keep going? the constant symptom spotting followed by the devastation every month. I'm not sure it would be so bad but the fact that I cramp for so long before AF arrives no matter what I have at least one week per month where it feels like a constant thought.
On the other hand could I ever really give up? Would I just be the same just not 'trying' as hard, every time we dtd I'd be hoping and praying.
How do you stop trying so it's a true stopping, not just so you might one of the few that got pregnant when they stopped!
Just not sure when is the right time to stop.
