:sad2:where to start? I dont want to get out of bed, because thats the only place i feel needed.:sad1: i dont care to be around anyone. strangers at the store even tell me to cheer up, i guess you can read it on my face. i dont have the urge to do anything or hang out with anyone. i dont know what to do. i guess you can say im depressed. i cry at everything especially at shows like teen mom or 16 and pregnant or anything like that. im just finally to the bottom and its really hard to see the top. im going to the doctor this month to get some answers, but i am so scared its not going to be the answers i want to hear. its so hard to be going through this alone and no one i know really truly knows what i am feeling. my husband is a truck driver and he is gone a month at a time so just the feeling of loneliness is overwhelming. I turn 27 this month and i think that scares me too because i dont have many child bearing years left and cant really waste time. i always go back to those questions, why me? am i a bad person? why are you calling me selfish? WHY? my faith is running low, and i just need some hope at the end of this tunnel. :cry:
 
First off, go to the doctor. Before you go, research, research, research. Go into the visit having some idea of what you want (ultrasound, blood tests, etc). Don't be afraid to be assertive. Some Drs will just 'poo-poo' your worries and tell you to come back in 6 months. 2 years is a long time, no matter what age you are. And don't be afraid of bad news.... Bad news is a starting point. You can't fix anything if you don't know what's wrong. It could be something very easy to correct. The unknown is far worse.

I have also found that being pro-active will help with the sadness and depression. I'm sorry sorry any of us are going through this. :(
 
I'm sorry that you, and many of us have to go through this, it's honestly the worst feeling in the world, but an important thing to remember is your not alone:hugs: I have no friends who are TTC or dealing with infertility, so when I'm having days where I stay in my pyjamas all day crying, I come on here. It might be an internet forum, but I feel like I can be much more open about everything on here than I can in real life, and I get a lot of support from the woman in LTTTC, so you definitely always have us :hugs:

I would do exactly what pop chick said, make sure you've researched exactly what you want to ask the doctor, what you want doing and any questions, maybe even write them down! After having some bad experiences with doctors in the past, when I went to see my newest doctor and spoke to her about my ovulation tests, temp dips, cycle lengths, luteal phase changes, cm etc... she actually said to me "is refreshing to speak to a patient who knows what they're talking about" :winkwink:

I really hope I'm not over stepping the line here, but my inner psychologist is worried about you :blush: its normal for woman suffering from infertility to feel all of the things you have described and go through the ups and downs, but if you feel like you are never having any ups, have you thought about going to see someone to talk about it? Or maybe you could find local infertility groups or similar through the local hospital or clinic? I'm not embarrassed to say after about 6-7 weeks of crying and moping constantly, I knew I had to do something and I see a counsellor every so often just to vent and scream and cry and shout at her, and it really does help.

I wish you every bit of luck :flower:
 
I'm sorry you are going through all this, but wanted to say that at 27, you are a youngster -- after years of trying (and being told at age 26, that due to PCOS, I couldn't have children), I had my rainbow (after an mc and two chemicals) at age 44 with some acupunture, healthy living and nothing else -- hopefully, you won't have to wait so long, but please don't think that you are at end of or near your limit for trying (obviously, if there is a family history of early menopause, then I apologise for my comments and I am sure that you are exploring IVF, etc). I am NOT trying to undermine your confidence in that 'I'm older, etc.' way, it was just your comment about your fears that you didn't have much time left - you do! Loads of time, so please know that....

AND you are not a bad person for wanting a child, nor selfish!

best wishes
 
thank ya'll for replying. its just so hard. i know or i hope that one day i will get my dream of being a mother. but its times like this where i dont see light. i try to lose weight also but its so hard doing it by myself. i just dont have the will power. then when i get people exercising with me it dont even last. i know that some of that is my fault because i dont want to have to count on others because then they start to expect something in return. atleast i know my family is like that. i cant wait to go to the doctor and finally get some answers. i am so tired of being in the dark as to what is so wrong with my body.
 
I've been at the bottom for a while now too. :hugs: I'm out of encouraging words and have entered the, "feck it" stage.

Hopefully, one day soon it will get better for us. One thing is for certain, we can't go any lower.
 
I don't know what else to say that the other ladies haven't already said.

Saying I kow how you feel, doesn't make it any easier or give you any answers.

I'm sorry you feel this way.

I'm always here if you need to chat.

Sending loads of :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
 
thanks girls. i made and app to see an obgyn on monday the 11th and i have startd to exercise so im slowly but surely coming out of this rut. atleast i can start to get some answers.
 
Hang in there hopeful! Well done on tour first step in getting obgyn appt. Meanwhile, try and think of what you lOve in life and find ways of getting it/doing it. Are you artistic? Musical? Caring? Creative? I know how hard it is to be motivated when you feel so low (had depression myself for 7 years 1995-2002). But I also know that going something you are good at or passionate about can lift you high. Maybe you can find a local club for what interests you or volunteer for somewhere which needs you.
Also, huge well done on starting exercising, I need to do this too! And it has a double effect in that you become fitter AND your body realises endorphins which make you happier.

And 27 is very young really. My maternal grandmother had more children in her 40s than any other decade. Some of us are just built that way! Fingers crossed and praying you can get some answers and some motivation soon.

Hugs xxxx
