To ask when you stopped TTC and moved on with your life

[disgustingbehaviourami]

I fertility I feel is coming to the end of its road.

Tried for over four years and still don't have a child.

I'm 37 and am exhausted by it, so much so timed sex gives me the chills, pregnancy tests and ovulation sticks give me anxiety.

I am tired of it - but also worried about the future with or without a child, I'm not sure either path is for me.

When did you draw the line and how did life turn out?

I'm not interested in adoption before anyone asks 🙄

I had my DC at 38, tried for second, gave up at 43.

Have you had your thyroid checked? That was what was stopping me conceive my last child.

@DustyLee123 yes he had issues with it in the past but now fixed. I am currently on medication at the minute to resolve what the latest specialist said is the issue and on second cycle of TTC so haven't yet exhausted this route but I'm really exhausted and don't even seem to care much about it anymore.

Have stopped using ovulation sticks and having sex daily around that time because I have lost the interest a lot. It's getting so dull, not sure how much I want it

Also I'm not posting for solitons to have a child, I've done all the tests considered all the options and really just wanting to hear from those who moved on with life on how it panned out

Sorry, just wanted to mention what was such a simple thing that stopped me conceiving.

Making the decision to stop was very “freeing” changed job, moved house.

Maybe take a look at the child free section on Mumsnet.
