Giving Up

I'm pretty much giving up at this point. Trying to conceive has literally run my life into the ground. I cry all the time, to the point where I'm just miserable about everything. I'm sick of the hormone pills, shots, appointments, and NOTHING to show for it. EVERYONE I know is pregnant with seemingly no effort. My "friend" messaged me today to say she found out a week ago she was pregnant and "only had sex twice in February because they were being cautious." I could vomit. My soul hurts. I feel like crawling into a hole and never coming out. So I think I'm just done. I feel like there's no one around me who understands. "Support" groups are like high school cliques, and I'm just so, so done. I've given up on my body like it has given up on me.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Whenever I get to this point I find I need to step away from my TTC apps/forums/communities and just take time for me.

Hopefully things will get better for you quickly

My older sister got to this point at one time.
Her and hubby decided to give TTC a break for a while and just enjoy their life together. They weren't actively trying to get pregnant but weren't preventing it either, 3 months later, they found out that they were pregnant.
I am not going to pretend to know your situation but they believe and were told by her doctor that by deciding to stop TTC and giving themselves time, they reduced their cortisol levels significantly (both were more healthy) and this had a great hand in helping them conceive naturally.
I wish you all the luck in the world and prayer that one day in the not too distant future, you get your BFP!

You made me so sad reading this I feel the same way but I blame and beat myself up because I feel I’m being punished for aborting. I had to get off Social media to stop the depression because everyone is either married or pregnant and I don’t ever want to become ungrateful for the blessings I do have. I got myself checked and quit smoking cigarettes for a year now tried everything I research even this go round the conception lube. It is very trying and hard but let’s hang in there. Me and my love have chosen to adopt if we have constant negatives. In the Bible women were barren for many years and were 100 or older and gave birth read about these women when you lose hope. Just never give up and be open to God’s choice for you because he will always bless us with exactly what we need. Love always.
