Infertility

This afternoon has been rough (long and I am wallowing)

I dont know what's wrong with me. I guess just being at work and being away from DH has got me down and thinking about everything. You know, sometimes, I wish I were one of those people who didn't want kids more than anything. I wish I could say that I would be ok if it didn't happen.  But I'm not and I won't be. It's the honest truth. I really don't understand how I am 26 years old, have had 5 BFPs and have absolutely nothing to show for it but bitterness and anger. I really can not believe that this is the third christmas that we will not be pregnant or have a baby. T

his afternoon my mood just nose dived and I've been on the verge of breaking down ever since lunch. The lady who I had given advice to about OPKs came and told me that she didn't get pregnant. When she walked in the door, I stopped breathing. Literally. Held my breath because we would have pretty much been at the exact same point and the last thing I need to hear is that she is pregnant. Of course, I feel like total sh!t about that because she has suffered multiple losses. She finally had a little boy and they have been trying for a couple years for the second.I wanted us to be pregnant together.

Why couldn't it have just been a BFN? I asked Him not to let us hurt again, to please let it be a BFN if we were just going to have it taken away again.  I am so sick of all of it but I don't want to quit. I guess I am just an idiot and a glutten for punishment. As all I can think about is when we will cycle again after the new year. That, and our vacation. Because it honestly pisses me the f*ck off to be here and act like a give a sh!t about what these idiots have to say.

I am all over the place today. This morning, I was in a good (better) place. I'm sorry. There is really nothing to say, I know. Just wanted to vent to the people that get it. 

On a (less) pathetic note, do you think it would be crazy for me to ask my RE to do a hysteroscopy? I've never had one, so WTH not. Can you do a hysteroscopy in the same cycle as stims?

  • So sorry!!  We all can relate to having one of those days where you just take a nose dive into the infertility depression.  It happened to me this weekend and I was screwed the rest of the day, it's like your always one breath away from losing it and breaking down.  I haven't experienced losses like you and I can't imagine how that must feel.  UGH!! Hang in there and know that it will eventually happen, it has to right?  I have no advice on hysteroscopy since I haven't had one.  ((HUGS))

  • I'm so very sorry you're having a difficult time today. You are certainly not alone in feeling disappointed, angry, saddened or any other emotion. This IF journey is so frustrating. We are all here for you. (((hugs)))
  • I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this again and again.  

    I'll tell you that in my experience that hysteroscopy had to occur during a break cycle.  But I think my RE likes to let the uterus heal afterward (and I always have something that has to be removed).  Maybe if they are just looking around in there you don't have to sit out a cycle.

  • It's completely fine to feel the way that you do - sometimes, you just have to let yourself experience the negative emotions and the sadness and the bitterness and anger and not to see any higher purpose in it (even though higher purpose may be there in the long run, who knows).  Sending you a ton of hugs and warm thoughts.
  • So sorry you are having a rough day.  However, you are right to feel the way you do.  It is NOT fair that you have suffered so much.

    As for the hysterosopy, I would defintely ask for one, especially to see if there is anything in there that could be contributing to your losses.  Have they done any testing or have any thoughts to why they keep occuring?  I don't know about sitting out a cycle, but for the peace of mind, I probably do the hysteroscopy even if it meant to.  GL and ((HUGS)).

    We've had all the blood tests including the karyotyping and all that has been found are my clotting disorders which is what my RE contributes the losses to. I've had an HSG and an SHG (in 2008) both were fine. No hysteroscopy and I think I am going to ask for one, but I dont want to sit out.

  • (((hugs))) I'm so sorry you are having a bad IF day. And it's frustrating that nobody IRL understands like we do here isn't it? Well DH's aside of course. There are days where I just want to stay in bed, days where I'm so irritable that I bite everyone's head off. IF just isn't fair but I hope you get your BFP very soon!!!

  • I would definitely ask for the hysteroscopy if I were you.  A god friend of mine suffered 3 losses before getting this done.  Turns out there was some "obstructive material" in her uterus that they suspect was preventing implantation.  Following the surgery to remove the tissue, she ended up getting and staying pregnant.  Of course your situation may be totally different, but I think it's worth investigating.  I'm really sorry for all that you've been through and hope that you get some answers and a sticky BFP soon.

  • I have no advice on the hysteroscopy.  But I wanted to say I'm so sorry for everything you've gone through.  I wish I could take some of your pain away and make things better for you.  Don't give up, I know your day will come ... I'm just sorry it's been such a long road to get there.  ((HUGS))

  • A hysteroscopy could never hurt.... you need to do it before you cycle again, though.

    We did mine leading up to when we planned to do IVF the first time (in July) while I was on BCPs, and since we found a septum and they removed it, all plans were cancelled. I'd never had an HSG, granted, but my RE likes to do hysteroscopies to make sure everything looks good. We had to do a second one a month later to make sure all was healed properly, then were able to do IVF the month after that. 

    We now suspect that the septum is why I m/c the time I got pregnant on my own. 

     

    I hope everything gets better and you get your sticky baby soon!
