Staying positive

after having an ectopic pregnancy, going through endometriosis removal surgery, cysts, hormones, hormones, more hormones... There are people who have it worse. I finally had a period normally(without being hormone induced), and was told again about proper "timing". Gosh I hope this one will take and work. I really need good vibes. I was three months along for the ectopic, and didn't have a positive test. Will I have to worry about that again?

Hi, hun! Couldn't but answered to your post. I'm so sorry for your ectopic and the heartbreak you've gone through! But this is the thing I tend to write often in my posts - if you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl. But whatever you do you have to keep moving further!
I'm sure you're a brave lovely lady, wishing you all the best of luck with your treatment. Recently I've become mom due to IVF with donor egg performed in Ukrainian clinic. This was the long path, 2 first shots unsuccessful. Before that devastating 2 miscarriages, DX - endo and PCOS, unsuccessful surgery, troubles with egg mature because of ovaries scarring..
Yes, women do face even worse factors, but every IVF journey IS difficult and challenging for everyone. So we never know how long it will take us to have a baby - months, years.. We just keep moving on and hope..
I'll be praying for you, hun, for this nightmare will end soon. Praying for every woman struggling for her sacred right to become a mom

I'm so sorry about your struggle. I'm not sure about the pregnancy test results. I think just like Angelic789 said, just because others have it harder doesn't mean that your journey isn't hard. I'm just starting this journey and I'm praying it won't last long. I struggle with emotions knowing that some have it harder and some have it easier. I think the best thing we can do is allow ourselves to validate our feelings without allowing our feelings to steal other's joy or pain. Emotions are such messy things. I think we're so programmed to compare, we can't help but bring it to this topic as well. But just like that is their journey, this is yours, and they can't tell you what or how to feel anymore than you can tell them. Whenever I'm struggling, it helps me to get alone and say out loud (or write) what I'm feeling in the most detail I can. Saying it out loud/seeing it helps me realize what exactly is bothering me at the moment so I'm not just upset because of "stuff." It's only natural to be upset/disappointed/hurt when you desire a good thing and are struggling to gain it. I pray that your joy may be complete soon! Best wishes!
