I've changed my name for this.
We're coming to the end of fertility treatment - we've had our last go at IUI and I'm waiting to find out - in the next few days - if it's worked. I don't think it has as the days weren't quite right and I don't feel remotely pg - just pre-menstral.
We already have one gorgeous child and have been ttc number 2 for so long now - complete with treatments and miscarriage etc etc and are both just done in by the whole thing. We have given ourselves permission to stop. But I'm just so sad about it all. About acknowledging that there'll be no more little babies (I've kept all the stuff just in case)and about ours never having a sibling and so on.
I just wanted some support really - this is going to be such a difficult week and I feel very down about it all.

It is so natural to feel all these things, alreadysad. You eventually reach the end of the line, emotions-wise, where ttc is concerned. I think you're being very strong making the decision to stop trying. Enormous hugs to you

P.S. You never know what might happen with the remainder of this cycle. Best of luck with the results. x

Alreadysad I hope you get through the next few days ok.
To help pass the time perhaps you could prepare a list of the good points of having just one special one and think about positive things that you're going to do if it doesn't work out.
Look after yourself xxxx
