DH had a serious accident nearly 2 years ago and is very lucky to be still here.

Anyway he is still recovering from the injuries and has just been tested for fertility and is likely to be infertile due to nerve damage! So frustrating, wonder what is next! We always wanted a large family and I MC (fell preggers very quickly after DD birth 3 months before)when he was in ITU.

I know I should not be ungrateful as we have 2 healthy lovely kids but just over 2 years we had everything going for us. Now I have a DH at home, depressed and our wish to have more kids in tatters.

Just wanted get this of my chest! Will get over it but just soo annoyed with it all

You have a really strong and positive view to life which many of us do not, which is awesome due to what you have been through. It is amazing that you are talking to us about you'r experiences as many people would not have the courage that you do. You are not ungreatful, as you say you have 2 healthy kids. Your dh is alive and your support to him sounds invaluable. Thank heavens....You are both still here and for each other. I wish you best for the future!...It sounds as though you both have a long one!

thanks Vixma, strangely enough you think you life will end when things like that happen but it doesnt, life goes on and we appreciate the little things in life so much more!

Think at the time when DH had the accident it much more awful for friends & family as our kids were so young when it happenend (DS just 2 years and DD 3 months)and when I was told he might not survive I strangely just got on with it (without them I wouldnt have btw!). One thing at the time, the first 24 hrs, then 48hr, then off ITU and waking up, sitting up ect.. but the infertility thing just was the famous drop.

So annoyed as to why it happened, could have so easily been avoided!

Just because you've got some things doesn't stop you wanting others too and YANBU to feel this way. As vixma said you sound very strong to havecoped with all you have done so well and you are allowed to feel sad and frustrated about what you have missed out on. I don't want to say poor you because somehow it seems a bit trite given all you've been through. Just want to say you're doing so well keep on in there you're doing great
