I got the call that our 4th IVF cycle was a failure. I am absolutely crushed right now. I can't figure out why they keep putting back good embryos and they never implant. I am heart broken and scared of what all of this means. My fear is making me angry. THIS IS JUST NOT FAIR!!! I deserve to be a Mommy. I deserve to feel a child growing inside me, to raise them and teach them all I can. ...
We did everything right that we could think of. DF worked so hard to get his counts up, I stopped most of my meds as hard as it was, I went on bed rest for five days, we talked to the embryos all the time, we prayed and prayed. I don't know what else we could of done different. This is just so unfair. I am so hurt and angry right now. We are not giving up though. I have more fight in me...
I can't fucking take much more! I am so tired of asking God for strength to get through things. I always get it but it is not what I want the most. I want a child! I want a family! I have not gotten that yet I always get the strength to get through all the painful shit in my life. I have survived enough. Battled through enough. Hurt enough. My BF called me Saturday. We talked for over a half ...
I have been having a hard time lately with the baby/child thing. I think the holidays are making it worse. Not to mention half my friends and women I work closely with are pregnant. I am really feeling left out and sad. I usually hold my head high and truck on through but lately it is not so easy. Someone just walked in with their 15 month old dressed up and he looks so cute. My BF and another fr...
complete fricken failure!!! that's what I am , that's what I feel like and I am giving up.. I am so tired of being a failure and having all of this shit going on in my life time after time. I cant look anyone in the face anymore, I cant hold my head high and be proud of who I am. I am tired of sitting here day after day wasting away in pain and not being able to work. I am ti...
I went to the doctors today about having what I thought was sun damage checked and removed, and a few moles. While looking at some areas of my skin they tell me they think most of the brown spots are caused by, get this, "pregnancy." And although I have never been pregnant, all the hormones I use to try and help get us pregnant have now left me with these brown spots (very unattractive ...
I am really starting to lose it ladies! I do okay and then not. I've cried more in the last week then ever at one time. Then tonight after dinner I went to take our new little man out to spend time with the family and he felt cold, seemed lethargic and was skinny. He was also covered in bright green stuff (poop). I saw it yesterday and thought it was from his food (some of it is bright green)...
One of my BF's and I were just talking about our weekend. She was telling me what a great day they had with 5 month old on Saturday, how much weight he gained recently, how cute he was, etc. That was hard enough for me to hear since I am struggling right now and doing the best I can. I left to grab something and as I walked back by she asked how I am doing right now, (with the fertility ...
My tubes are coming out in the morning. I am sad and scared at the same time. Yes, I am sad that the tubes I was born with that were supposed to do their job and help me get pregnant will be removed, but I am even more upset about something else. I realized why this all bothers me so much. It was many, many years ago when I was first told my tubes were no good and I would probably need IVF. I came...
