Journal Entry for September 26, 2009 Mood
Saturday, September 26, 2009

In two months I will be 35.  It makes me sad just thinking about turning 35.  Ten years ago I would never have imagined that I would be 35 and childless.  But after six years of trying to conceive, I think it may be time just to give up.  Since my last IVF, I have thought long and hard about putting myself through it again, and I honestly don't know if I will ever be able to mentally put myself through it again.

 

I think I really need closure in my life and that I need to accept and be happy with everything and everyone God has blessed me with.  I have a great dh, a wonderful family, lots of friends and a good job.  I am blessed.  I know I am.  But accepting that I probably won't ever be a mother is hard, even though I know I need to accept it.  I pray that God will help me to find closure if that is His will.

    I still believe you are meant to be a mother. One way or another. Hang in there and be strong. Your a wonderful and caring person. If there is anything I can do let me know. I'll be thinking and praying for you.

    I didn't know you came on here anymore! I'm sorry I missed this. Thanks for your support. It's a pretty miserable place to be, isn't it? I turned 35 in August and I can scarcely believe I'm that age with no family. Yes, multiple IVFs takes a big toll on you--emotionally, financially, physically--and it is hard to know when to call it on this journey. Even though I am not going to get on here much lately, I'm blogging away at www.lastchanceivf.blogspot.com (though I should probably rename the blog since we're no longer doing IVF). Hang in there.
