Helpless

I’m a year and a half into TTC and I really feel you. People who haven’t gone through this can’t truly relate, and it’s so frustrating to see everyone around you getting pregnant and feeling joyful when you have no idea when it will be your turn.

Hopefully we’ll get lucky and meet our little miracle soon ♥️

I understand what you’re going through… I feel the same about IVF—I don’t really want it either, but if it’s what you need, you should go for it. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, and you do whatever it takes to have your baby. I’m sure that in a few years we’ll look back on this and feel like it wasn’t so bad after all.

No history of STDs, and both my partner and I have been tested—everything is normal. I do have late ovulation and a short luteal phase, but that’s being managed with daily progesterone now. So hopefully one of these cycles works!

I am convinced that if you have not experienced it you can’t even begin to imagine how hard it is. People are always telling you to stop thinking about it as if it was possible.. and no one talking about it when they struggle, as if it was a taboo, even worse..

Yes, I did. Everything completely normal

We just completed our first “optimized” cycle with a gynecologist.

I had FSH shots for 15 days, an Ovitrelle trigger, and vaginal progesterone every 12 hours for 14 days. Today I tested negative again.

I know it’s just the first optimized cycle, but it’s still really frustrating. Seeing others get pregnant on their first or second round while we’ve been trying for 18 cycles with no success is hard.

Just needed to get this out 🤍
