I don't know if I can handle the cycles of charting, TTCing and waiting, and getting a BFN anymore. I am terrified of another MC. This month looked really promising but AF showed again this morning, and I knew it was on the way. Yesterday even people posting pictures on FB of their kids together made me want to cry. I am 41 and just feel like my chances are slim anyway so torturing myself like this is just pointless.
We had talked about moving onto adoption after this cycle so it looks like that will be our path. I may still come here from time to time because you have all been so good to "talk" to while going through this.

Awe, Sparky.......I wish I could give you a Big Warm Hug! I know exactly how you feel....I am 43 and have been very actively doing this charting/TTCing stuff for over 6 years with consistent disappointment. I stopped counting, so I wouldn't get discouraged and try to keep my hope alive, but after this first and last IVF cycle that was a failure. I know how hard it is to get up and dust your knees off and ask yourself, do I want to keep trying on something that just doesn't seem to happen for me? I have been contemplating the same questions of when to stop and considering adoption and such. I just know that I will have to keep trying naturally for a bit, while we looking into adoption or whatever God has for us. I keep asking myself, where is my Mojo? Lol....Hopefully, I will find it soon!
Wishing you the best in your journey and do keep us updated on how things are going for you......Take care!
Sorry you are discouraged, I understand the emotional aspect of ttc, I will be 41 in two weeks and also had a miscarriage recently- it does take a toll.
I hope your day passes smoothly and wish you happiness on your journey, what a beautiful option adoption is for some,I hope you meet with success and happiness!
Best of luck to you and your husband! I know it is a tough decision and I am sending hugs!
