7 months and getting discouraged
Hi there everyone, I am new on here and hoping to find the encouragement and support I need to stay on this heart wrenching journey!
Me and my wife are newlyweds, and we have been trying with a donor every month since we got married with no luck!
Im sure when I say on here that when I get my period, or a BFN- my heart just sinks, that many of you can relate! I now find the most difficult part of being in a same sex relationship to be the ttc. Everywhere I look I see and hear about hetro couples having sex for days straight in attempts to get pregnant, and it just makes me think, if they cant do it, what are my chances when I only see our donor once, maybe twice a month.
So the question I pose to all of you is- while in that heart crushing moment when you realize your tww was in vain, what gives you the strength to get up and try again? I absolutely want to have a baby, and I know it will all happen when it is supposed to, but the heartache involved seems to bring me weakness...

Welcome to the board!
For me the thing that helped from month to month was to read more about TTC, do research, and feel like I was always making progress somehow. I know a lot of that is just who I am as a person, but I feel like it can'

I agree with pp it's probably one of the most frustrating times in our lives. After over a year of BFN after BFN (13 back to back to be exact) we decided to take a break. We ultimately had to seek help from an RE and do medicated cycles but now h
