TTC 19+

I have really been trying to conceive for a year and 8 months and really have thought about giving up. Its truely hard to tell when the common symptom is morning sickness (throwing up) when you have a sensitive stomach. My periods are abnormal and the cramps come every so often. Should I keep trying or give up and move on to the adoption phase?

    Sorry its been this long for you.

     A lot of these women on this bored have already seen specialists and have a diagnosis for their infertility.

     I am assuming by trying you are just talking about dancing between the sheets for all this time. This doesnt mean you have to worry about adoption just yet. What you need to do is talk to your doctor and go see an infertility specialist.  Have you done this? Have you charted your temperature to see if you ovulate?

    Mama of 1: who did not grow below my heart, but certainly a big place in it!!



    TTC our #1 since '10


    DX: Ovulate but not great follicles

    I have been TTC for 18 months and just started fertility testing.  It is stressful and I know what you are going through.  Doesn't hurt to check with your OB doc and see what he says.  Don't get discouraged yet, it will happen! :) Good Luck!!

    Why would you consider adoption right now?  I suggest seeing fertility specialist to get testing done along with testing your husband's sperm too. There are options before adoption. Most of us on this board are doing IUI or IVF...
    Me: 32, DH: 34.
    Trying since Jan 2011. Unexplained IF.
    2 IUIs = BFN.
    1 IVF (Dec 2013) = BFN.
    FET, 2 frosties (June 13, 2014)

    14dp5dt-June 27 -BFP, beta 2061. 2nd beta >5000, 3rd beta >5000, 2 sacs 06/30.
    Twin Girls - 02/11/15 - at 37 weeks (no NICU, home with me at 3 days).

    I agree with seeking out some testing.  We're on cycle 25, but we also started testing after a year and learned that we need medical help to get pregnant (DH is azoo).  The whole process is exhausting and painful.  It's a constant cycle of hope and grief.  But (fortunately or unfortunately) there are doctors who specialize in fertility, and a whole community of women sharing the journey. 

    It's a personal decision when you decide to move on, whether moving on means more assistance, donors, surrogates, adoption, of living child-free.  I'd be lying if I said there aren't days when we fight the same demons.  But you're not alone and your journey isn't dictated by the number of cycles.
