Loosing the twins after DH got back from Iraq. Then having to go to all the drills and seeing all the pregnant ladies that weren't even trying when their DH's got home.
the intimacy issues of arguing about when to start trying and then the subsequent stress of trying...... not that it compares to losing a baby, but i felt for a long time that every month i was losing a potential life............
This whole journey has been rough... I thought I would just get pregnant... I had it all planed out... I would Graduate in May.. go off my pill... be pregnant in July (our first cycle) Have my baby before I turned 33... GREAT PLAN huh??
Well here I sit two losses and a year later!!! So I guess it has to be the heartache of loss. two loss babies, lost plans, lost time, lost love...
Than the second worst thing... is seeing everyone were I should be... my dh best friend due on my EDD in 5 days... and my SIL due two weeks before my second loss!!

Not anything too terrible, but just not being able to share my mom. She had a rough time TTC and ended up adopting my brother and I. I think it really took a toll on her and I don't want to bring up painful memories.
Losing babies. The twins right before Christmas and the twin from this pregnancy. So much pain to get pregnant, then losses, and "friends" telling us to "just get over it and look at what you have, and just try again." Well, I didn't see them cutting the checks for IVF and FET treatments.
The worst thing for me so far is finding out that there is a problem with both of us preventing us from getting pregnant. I have mind pcos and Dh has a very low sperm count.
Definitely the miscarriage - the JOY of those two pink lines only to lose her and not have another BFP in 18mths. But I can see that we all have had terrible lows, each so personalised. I think the non-understanding of others around you is hardest. Everyone can tell you to 'relax' and 'it will happen' but unless they have TRIED for months unsuccessfully they will never understand how it takes over your life, eats away at your love-life and the feeling of loss everytime your AF shows up......
But I guess, to bring something positive to the table, at least when we get our LO's (little ones) we will treasure them even more for having had to wait so long!

Hi. Im Jolene. 31 years old. I suffered three years of a short luteal phase and didnt think I could get pregnant again without medical assistance but fell pregnant by accident and naturally. I am really happy and excited to be having a baby although knowing Im going it alone this time is a bit daunting and scary!
Seeing those 2 pink lines disappear within a couple of days of getting them. And it made it even worse that the lines were gone when I retested on Christmas Eve, thinking they would be darker.
Seeing DH go through surgery to fix a varicocele to help improve sperm count.

*hugs* to all of you girls. No one should have to go through infertility! The hardest thing for me was being pregnant at the same time as my cousin and losing mine at 8 weeks and then having to see her go through her entire pregnancy. I love her little 2 year old girl so much, like she's my own and it warms my heart that she is always asking for me, but there will always be that empty place. I also had a second early miscarriage the first cycle of clomid when I had such high hopes. I wish you all so much luck and hope that we will all experience the joy of healthy pregnancies and babies very soon!

Yeah, mine 'came out' on Christmas day! I was bleeding for a week before that but was hoping it was just one of those things and not really a miscarriage but when I went to the loo I got a stinging sensation and then the egg (I was only a week or so along) came out (sorry TMI) on tissue and I told my mum who was around for Christmas dinner and she didn't seem to care/realise the significance at all! And your still expected to carry on like normal!
I don't think the time of year makes it harder but it does become a very significant reminder. This Christmas was very hard as it all came back to me afresh and I am sure it will every year.

Definately the hardest thing was after 14 months of trying, finally getting a only to lose the baby at 11 wks. I know I haven't been around for a while girls...I was here before, got my and if you didn't know, lost my baby just over a week ago. I will be joining you here again!! Praying it doesn't take another 14 months to get another

I don't know if you will check this thread again, but I wanted to let you know that there is hope...my SIL has PCOS...and my Bro has 1/10 the sperm count he is supposed to...they gave birth to a healthy baby girl on July 24 of this year. I just wanted to share that it DOES happen!!
Getting a positive result only to find out a couple days later it was just a chemical pregnancy. Now it's the constant trying only to keep getting negative results.

Every single month feeling like I will never meet that sweet baby I used to see in my dreams, the one I used to feel touching on my face with those precous little hands and hear the words " I love you mommy". Why does this have to be so hard for those of us who want it so badly and will make great mommies but yet those who don't want or cherish the miracles they have can have them by accident?
