Do you feel like throwing in the towel?

[kallygirlie]

So DH and I have been TTC for over 2 yrs now. Found out I have PCOS in December 2012. With this, I found out I don't Ovulate on my own that often. I FINALLY got a + OPK last month thanks to Clomid and was super hopeful. Well I couldn't do Clomid this cycle since we decided to see a fertility specialist to make sure there were no secondary issues. I'm CD 23 and no + OPK this month. Even tho I know the chances were slim, I still was hopeful. Now just feel defeated. So My question, have any of you ever felt like just giving up, but you know you never will? I guess I'm just having a low Day.

Pretty much every cycle I feel like this at some point. Especially when O is late. I have trouble O'ing on time, last month I didn't o until cycle day 30 something and that is just such a long time to be waiting for the chance! I wish I only had the 2ww to know, but it is horrible having almost a month waiting to have the 2ww. And then if I don't O I feel completely defeated. Hang in there 100%

Oh yeah. I feel like throwing in the towel so often. And like you, I know that I never will. Some cycles I tell myself 'Ok, that's it. I am not trying this cycle.' But of course, deep down I am still hoping against hope that somehow, this will be my month.

I also have PCOS. And I think what is so hard about it, is the unpredictable, lonnnggg cycles. They mean that if you decide to have a month off and so you don't do charting/OPK testing, you don't know if or when you ovulated. And for me that means I spend 4-6 weeks in the tww! Because of course, I don't know whether AF is late, or I just haven't ovulated yet.

So yep, I feel your pain: there is no such thing as not trying for me, but some days I really do wish I could step off the TTC merry-go-round, if only for a while until I was stronger again.

I also feel like throwing in the towel every month however I know I never will.

I ovulate as normal every month and can predict my period right down to the hour nearly lol waiting to have a hsg

I know how you feel. I've been trying for almost six years with no luck.


Things must get better eh? At least thats what I tell myself.

I'm at the one year mark and I'm definetly considering throwing in the towel. Sometmes I tell myself that it's just not meant to be for us and that we can just lead a different life. But I guess we'll see. If I dont get a BFP this month I will try one more month but after that I think I'm going to just focus on other things in my life..

TTC is so difficult and I know it is so much more difficult for those who have other difficulties to contend with during the process. Hang in there ladies.

 

[ninifay]

It's hard to give up. When people say when are ya'll going to have children, I'm just like ohh ya know kids are a handful.

But really inside I'm dying and I want to scream IM TRYING! Damnit.

Breaks my heart.

Yes, specially after ttc for almost 2 years and having a Miscarrige. I stopped trying for 7 months and this is my first month trying again and I know I'll feel like throwing in the towel if it doesn't happen in 6 months I'm sure.

Every single day, but I don't know how.
