Life not going according to plan

[Foreverhoping33]

One of the things I find toughest about infertility is how the life you hoped for, dreamed about and even planned out in your head slowly becomes less achievable as time ticks away.
i find myself still holding on that my plan will be the reality when maybe i just need to accept things and change my plan already.
Any one else feel like this?

I’m in the same boat! I have been trying to conceive for years, I still can’t believe that I am about to turn 35 with no kids, after my both my IVF cycles ended in miscarriages. The life I had projected becomes less and less achievable. I am starting to panic as time flies and I still have no baby. It now looks like I won’t have a baby in 2025, or even before I turn 36. That was never the plan!
And in the meantime I am so focused on TTC and IVF that I feel like this is all my life has been for the last few years.
At the same time I feel like I am not ready to give up, but I am also exhausted by this journey and how it has affected me.

All of this is really unfair!

Hi,
Feeling the same, although we've been trying for 2 year now, it's a slow process.. I am scared of needles so I don't want to go through IVF but awaiting for appointment from hospital from GP referral, not sure how long it will be...
How does one deal with loosing friends who have kids & I don't? How do I navigate that? I don't have anything in common anymore to talk about? I've always been late to the society norm.. got married late, trying to conceive at 38years old... not sure what the plan is? So I feel everyone here... its horrible to go through this...

Could have written all this myself! I feel really angry and sad that everything has gone so wrong and I've had to go through so much heartache, while everyone else around me gets (and stays) pregnant with relative ease.

2 years TTC with a TFMR, chemical pregnancy, 2 rounds of Ivf egg collection, 1 failed transfer... and 3 hysteroscopies to deal with adhesions caused by the TFMR surgery. Its a rough road, and I'm really losing faith in it working out. Wondering how/if I'll manage to work through it if it never works out for us and if friendships will ever recover

I tried to be more flexible, especially after COVID, which disrupted many plans for me and my friends. Some were forced to cancel their treatments and, due to their age, couldn't start them again :(
