To consider going back on the pill just to eliminate any residual hope?

Have been ttc for two and a half years. Investigations show dh is infertile - we've had multiple rounds of ivf with icsi but nothing.

And yet even though I know it's impossible to get pregnant every single month I hope. This month I was two days late which is unheard of and hope reared its head again, thankfully I didn't waste any money on a pregnancy test.

I'm tempted to start taking the pill again. Not for contraceptive purposes obviously but just to stop the gut wrenching disappointment every month. Even to be sterilised.
It's so hard. No one else I know has had this much trouble, for most people they've got pregnant in the first three months. I'm only 31. I do know three couples who have had ivf but it worked for them on the first it second go. Why is it so hard?

Who will. I am sorry -I think I hijacked your thread tonight because it struck a chord so much. Years of frustration from being given advice or asked if I'd 'thought of x' came out. The only really useful thing I have to offer is to go for counselling if you haven't. Tonight excepted they have helped me.

It's not for everyone as its not an easy option.

I believe it's a difficult choice to make, like what to tell the child when older.
