It can be beyond heartbreaking sometimes for a couple going through infertility issues. I know because I have had friends close to me struggle with getting pregnant and also went through almost two years of trying to have a baby with my wife. I remember how everywhere I went there were happy couples with their babies. I remember that choking feeling in my throat as I held back tears after a friend would tell me that they would be expecting a baby...or an email from a coworker sent to everyone in the company announcing their own good news. I remember the unspoken fear that both my wife and I shared that we might never be able to have a child of our own.
My wife and I were fortunate in that we came across a simple solution to our infertility problem and I only hope that your journey doesn't take as long as ours. As I look back I can see clearly how lucky we were and how we had pretty much created our own problem. It seems that for us, stress was a contributing factor...not only the stress from my wife's fast paced but the stress and pressure we both were putting on ourselves to get pregnant!
You try to eat the right things. You time your "baby making time" to coincide with what the basal thermometer or ovulation predictor test says. And there is a good chance that you are addicted to home pregnancy tests and have considered buying them in bulk!
The first thing that I will suggest is that you give yourself a break and relax. The added stress of trying to get pregnant isn't helping you, especially if it is affecting you emotionally. You are not a failure and this is not God's way of punishing you for anything. As a matter of fact, I have noticed that it is those that have a difficult time getting pregnant that appreciate their children so much and wind up being stellar parents!
The second thing that I will suggest that you do is to begin thinking positive about this. My wife had been told that she would never have children or that she would have a hard time conceiving due to a tilted cervix...well, she did! BUT!...she didn't let that stop her. She also didn't let the fact that she had PCOS, fibroids and additionally endometriosis that we didn't know about! She has since had a hysterectomy but she was still able to conceive and carry our son full term...so don't give up. Don't beat yourself up and think that this will never happen and don't listen to a doctor who is going to tell you all the reasons why you may never be able to get pregnant. This is their nature...they are familiar with finding problems and have no problem with telling you why you may not be able to get pregnant.
I have personally seen many women who had been told by their doctor that they couldn't become pregnant, have multiple children. I am not just talking just about my wife. Ask around sometime and you will be surprised how many women have been told the same thing only to breeze through conceiving, carrying and delivering a healthy baby after being told that they had a "slim to none" chance by medical professionals. This is not to say that modern medicine doesn't have it's place but why not take your reproductive health into your own hands if you have been told that Invetro (IVF) is your next step? A few months of educating yourself and finding out more about natural ways to improve your chances of becoming pregnant might be a wise choice....and you actually might find out a thing or two about yourself and your body to boot!
