What’s the hardest part of your TTC/ infertility journey?

1 millllion percent the waiting! I go back and for only 300x a day on whether or not I “feel” pregnant. #toxiccc 🤣

The waiting .. the wait for appointments, test results , more appointments.. constant waiting

I'd say the waiting is the hardest part for me because I really would love to welcome my first child into the world but just wasn't given that chance yet and it hurts my heart ❤️🥺 also the lack of support from my family because I'm 25 years old and they think I should already have it all together before a baby but to me it's what matters in your heart and soul not up to others opinions when u feel u and your partner are ready for a baby that's all that matters 🐥🍼 and the other pregnancy announcements do hurt because I'm wishing for it but I don't let it get the best of me but to me these are the hardest parts of my journey so far but I'm grateful my doctor's said I'm fertile and healthy and can carry full term with no complications so I'm glad 😊 I got some light on my way to becoming a first time mommy 🎊🍼🐥🤱

It’s definitely the waiting and the emotions I would say.
Get your period and then sad, after that trying to have has much baby dancing as possible (even though you’re knackered/cba/had a tiff with your partner but know your ovulating so need to make the most of it).
Then the 2WW which is overthinking every symptom/getting your hopes up/then going back down with every symptom. And then period comes again and after to try and pick yourself up again.
Then tbh even after you see doctors it’s always just waiting to try the next think (which brings emotions with it) and it just seems never ending.
I think it’s by far the hardest thing me or my partner have gone through and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
(Sorry to be a total downer)

The waiting and the other pregnancy announcements x

I am at the beginning of my journey, after some personal setbacks, getting divorced at 34 after wanting and expecting to have children for years. Was planning on having a baby on my own with a sperm donor, but was told this summer I had a low egg count and should freeze. I've decided to freeze embryos, so can try and implant when I am more financially ready in a year or 2 (promotions hopefully pending plus home purchase) I am happy to be making positive steps to secure my future but feeling pretty overwhelmed right now, with the cost, the worry, will it even work, and the change to diet... low caffeine is a killer for me, and normally I like alcohol but have cut it out mostly. Also the constant pregnancy announcements from my friends and how so many of thir lives have changed with children, in a way that I want, bit don't have yet, and having to just observe it all is pretty heartbreaking. Know that many of you will be feeling similar things ❤️

TW: MENTION OF EARLY TERMINATION

The hardest part for me right now is trying to reconcile how easily I got pregnant with the wrong person at the wrong time (we were trying to prevent it and I ended up terminating at 9 weeks) with the fact that my partner and I ARE TRYING and it's not happening as quickly and easily as I hoped it would.

I think it’s the emotional battle between trying to remain hopeful but feeling so incomplete because it feels like you aren’t able to deliver 😣 every day I learn more about how different each one of our bodies is and it gives me a bit of a relief… but I see ppl who unintentionally get pregnant and It crushes me…such a rollercoaster

I would say the waiting and then the emotional stress. These days I eat, drink, sleep ttc. Every convo i have with my husband is about doctors appts, results,ovulation. He pretty much understands the ttc lingo. It's all very exhausting at times.

The waiting and the emotional rollercoaster that ranges from hopeful to depressed. If you go through testing and get diagnosed with unexplained infertility that is also extremely frustrating, like medical science doesn't know why your body doesn't work and that's infuriating.

The hardest part is the TWW and feeling all the pregnancy symptoms after an expensive procedure of donor sperm , iui # 1 and #2 failed … it’s heartbreaking… so emotionally crushing….

Waiting to see if pregnant, waiting to see if anything will go wrong again. Can’t get excited.

The waiting, the announcement and family and friends asking if we’re going to have a baby soon… sometimes I just want to scream at them
