Angry with my body...

Anyone else feel this way? I am so upset with my body for not allowing me to make a baby. I have endometriosis and on top of that, I make progesterone, but it doesn't last long enough... so I have spotting and short luteal phases, I guess. So, I bleed for about 10 days a month, give or take (3-5 spotting, then 5-6 flow) and I also get very sore breasts right after OV every month... even when I am NOT on meds. I feel like crap for 2 weeks out of the month, pretty much. I am getting so frustrated, sometimes I feel like giving up. Thanks for listening to my rant.
I hope everyone else gets the BFP they deserve... Seems like lots of them this month. :o)

I am with you on that one. The way I see it is that I was born female, and my main role in life is to reproduce, so every month it doesnt work, I see my role as a failure.
WHY WONT MY BODY DO WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO?????

I so feel this way. And I feel guilty cause my DH has no problems at all so I feel like the weak link I guess.... I hate my body for not being able to just have a child and I know that is stupid but........ THANK GOD FOR DH he is my savior(sp?) through this.... Hope you ladies have just as great DHs as mine

Yes, I feel that way about my body often. I have other medical issues other then IF and I feel like my body is broken. Add to it the fact that I can't seem to get pregnant even with perfect embryos put back in me, I get pretty angry. The one thing I am meant to do, have a baby, and I can't seem to get it right.

I wish I had answers why things are like this for us, but I don't. Trying to accept it, work with it and find a way to have a family even with the IF is the best I know how to do.

I pray that even with what you have going on with your body that your doctors are able to help you to have your family.
