[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To play devil’s advocate, I’m a super practical person. I had a hard time conceiving the first time and got help immediately - like 4 months in despite being young. I had a game plan for when and what I was going to advance to so I didn’t get bogged down in my emotions. And I followed it. I have a few friends who have been trying for years and it’s a little frustrating to hear them complain (maybe wrong word) about their situation when they’re trying the same things. 7 years is a really long time. If you’ve done IVF, go to donor eggs, if you’ve done that, go to adoption. I know it’s a s**** circumstance you’re in but sitting in it for another 7 years isn’t going to help. I’m not sure you can expect everyone to avoid your triggers for eternity. And if it really is an issue affecting your mental health then just tell her! [/quote]

You sound insufferable. I wonder if you actually have any friends![/quote]

Ehh, I'm with PP here.  As someone who also struggled w infertility, I think at some point there needs to be some recognition that this is your lot in life.  Medical advances are allowing women to have kids who would not have had kids 60 years ago - which is great! - but also I think setting up a lot of women for unnecessary pain and unrealistic expectations. 7 years is a long time, at some point you just have to accept your genes. It's sad but reality. [/quote]
