To those who couldn’t have children

I’m struggling massively at the minute. I have had many failed ivf rounds and I am now trying to find acceptance in the fact that I will never have children.
did those who have gone through this ever get to that place of acceptable? Did it ever get better? I just feel so doom and gloom right now x

You might want to ask MNHQ to move this to the mumsnetters without children board where there are wise and empathetic posters. I’m so sorry for your struggles 💐💐💐

Nothing to say but sending you my love, girl ❤️

One thing for me, as dd is autistic, was staying away from neurotypical kids for a while so I could adjust to our new normal - maybe thay might help, a bit of space from kids?

Sorry, its not great advice. Wishing you the best

Also, have you ruled out adoption? Who says family has to be genetic xx

Failed ivf and accepted we'd never have birth children. Adopted 2 lovely girls though.
They are now adults and have brought such joy
