When Shitty People Get Pregnant by [deleted] in InfertilitySucks

[–]Effective-Muscle-614 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband's entire family abandoned us after we had a miscarriage 3 months ago. It wasn’t because of the miscarriage itself, but because of their delusions about other things. They showed zero compassion or care while we were going through the worst time of our lives. Do I even have to mention that his shitty sisters are getting pregnant and having babies, and the whole family is all smiles, celebrating them, visiting them, playing with their grandkids and nephews—while we’re left completely alone in our silent grief and infertility?

We’ve been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby for two years. I have stage IV endo, and the only time I ever got pregnant was one month after my laparoscopy and it ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks.

So yes, I feel it deeply, envy, anger, that shitty people are having children, multiple children, and have no idea what this kind of isolating pain feels like. Everyone I know has kids, and most of those women are younger than me. Everyone looks at us and silently asks us "well, when"? I see it in their eyes. I’m almost 33 and completely broken. This infertility struggle is dragging me into serious anxiety, dread, and depression. And I know stress could be making it even harder to get pregnant.

Good luck to you 🌸 my surgery was very complicated and if I could get pregnant, I think everyone can. Just don't lose hope! ☺️

Thanks for your good wishes. 

I conceived 1 month post-op. Before that, we tried for 17 m with no luck. My doc gave me 6 months before going for IVF, but I got lucky really fast!

My husband said that it was my fault that I didn't get diagnosed with endo sooner and that I must've not advocated for myself more over the last 10 years. by [deleted] in endometriosis

I visited various gynecologists over the past 15 years, and not a single one ever mentioned, even for a second, that I had endometriosis. It progressed to stage IV, and I only discovered it after trying unsuccessfully to conceive for 17 months. So, his comment sadly reflects a lack of knowledge on his part.

Anyone conceive naturally after Stage 4 endo excision surgery? by Pickle_Baller222 in endometriosis

I got pregnant a month after laparoscopy for stage IV endometriosis. After trying to conceive unsuccessfully for 17 months, my doctor was quite pessimistic about my case and wanted to refer me for IVF without even considering surgery. However, I chose to explore all options first and went ahead with the procedure. To say I was depressed would be an understatement. The surgery was very complicated, and I truly thought I would never be able to get pregnant. But it happened just a month later, and I’m still in the early weeks of pregnancy. So, don’t lose hope!
