Family strains

Hi, my first post here - just wanted somewhere to clear my head a little. As a little bit of a back story, my husband an i have been a TTC 3+ years and start ICSI in Jan. We have male factor and endometriosis stage 4 to contend with :(

I have really struggled this Christmas, as I have 6 nieces and 6 nephews. Never before have I felt so isolated from family, all I hear is 'Christmas is all about the children' 'children make Christmas so magical' - it's been such a stark reminder of the infertility journey me and my husband are on and has made us feel like our Christmas is less magical and ours lives must be unfulfilled :( has anyone else had similar feelings?

I had a complete and utter breakdown Christmas Day and ended up seeing none of our family for the rest of the holidays, as I just couldn't face being around 12 children. :( I hope this feeling doesn't stick as I used to love the holidays.

Did everything work out in the end? I'm so sorry you're hurting.
