Earth, I've had moments like that too where I'm ready to give up everything and quit. This like any journey has its ups and downs. I think the draw to quit would be even stronger for me if I already had kids. Nobody would fault you for stepping away from the madness of LTTTC if that was what you wanted!
I feel like giving up because nothing is working and we are at the end of the road. We cant do IUI/IVF and we are literally stuck here. Its clomid or nothing at this point and due to no response with FE, it makes me very hesitant to try it. There are people that say " well my aunts sister switched and look she has billy".... but thats your aunts sister, not me.
I love my kids, it is a relief to have been able to get pregnant with them but it makes this journey MORE frustrating because its proof things DID work right.

If you think of infertility as a grieving cycle, I think I'm at the bargaining stage, I'm bargaining that fertility treatments will work for me. If they don't and IVF ultimately fails I will likely become quite depressed before I accept it and move on with life. The thing that I keep telling myself is that no matter how I come out of this (with children or not), I will be okay, and I will have a life worth living.
I feel like im at the same stage. " If we had better insurance" " If we had tried sooner" " if i could just get a better dr"
Whats weird is back in 2015, i went a year with no AF and i was at the accepting stage and then AF shows up and WHAM! All this again.
