Anyone just about done with ttc?

[readyformore]

For whatever reason?

Maybe I am giving up too easily. I know that some have had success after years and years of ttc. I just know that I don't want to do this for much longer.

Anyone else?

Im up for it this time round, but first time, yes - I can relate.
It took 11 cycles (which were 40-50 days long) to conceive. Ironically, the month that we did conceive, I was mentally letting go of the grip that ttc had over me (and starting to imagine life without a LO).
I havent been through infertility issues, so all I can send is hugs on that front xx

I can certainly relate to this.

At my age I just feel like I put much of my life on hold. Tried to do almost everything just right for a long time and I am beginning to think it may never ever happen .. these days I too am imagining life without a child in it. Preparing for a future with the hubs and I and our beloved pets.

I still temp and I still BD around that certain O day ... but I am beginning to realize life goes by too fast and I am missing out on fun things. Ive been rather depressed these past 3 months. Perhaps I will research fostering.

I hope you get your wish

This is exactly how I am feeling too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't seem to care that much if it happens or not and I'm attempting ivf. I don't even mind that I've spent thousands of dollars on it. It's a weird feeling to let go.....
Letting go of the stronghold of ttc is kind of a beautiful thing.
I never thought I would feel this way.

I can relate to you both. I'm 39 and I have two daughters, 20 and 14. I got remarried last year, he has 2 children as well ages 10 and 8. We would love to have one together and are going on our 11 month of TTC. He had a vas reversal and I've had 3 IUIs. We are done with assisted trying b/c we can't afford IVF. So we will try for about 10 more months, then I'm pulling the plug. When we first started trying I never in my wildest dreams thought it would not happen for us quickly. I fully expected to have a baby before my 40th birthday. Now here it is 6 months until I turn 40 and still no BFP. Every month that passes with no BFP we both let go a little more. If it never happens at least we will be able to say we tried, we really tried.
