Rubbish day

[charlsains]

I just need to vent. We have been trying for baby 2 for four and a half years and after recent scans etc the doctors say im fine, its the husbands sperm. So hes been on Wellman a month and generally am positive and we are doing the SMEP this month but i just feel so low.
This whole thing has been such a shit show. I left my job in maternity. I lost friends. I had a breakdown a year ago and though i'm better than i was by far, i am just tired. Real tired. So so thankful for my 6 year old girl but i am so drained of going through this month in and out. I don't know how i could do another almost 5 years of this....its too much 🥺

I feel you. I feel tired too. Ready to throw in the towel after a one more try. How old are you? Can you take a break from it and come back refreshed?

Also talk. Talking therapy, a friendly ear, family who will listen and not offer advice/judge.

Sorry you feel this way too. I'm 31. We did take a break but then i just thought i want to throw myself in it properly and get to the bottom of it rather than being in limbo , would be much easier to quit when i have actually done all i can , in my eyes. How about you? How long have you tried? Xxx

I feel you, am I the same boat and now looking at ivf abroad as I’m fast approaching 40, DD is 8 and always asking about getting a sibling.
It’s hard when people say, but you have a healthy child, be happy... but it is about feeling unfulfilled.
I don’t have any advice, except be strong, try not to fix too much on getting pregnant? Would you adopt? The old adage of it’ll happen. X

OP I’ve been trying for this dc for 3.5 years and before that for another 3 years before I resorted to ivf (that was successful)

I’m early 40s now and DH has had enough so this really is last attempt.

Fc you have time on your side, have you looked at the advice from the book it starts with the egg for sperm supplements? You can try a lot more than just wellman.

I agree with your attitude of just throw everything at the problem as I am the same . But do take time for yourself amidst all this, and a break of a couple of months or longer may help more than you think x
