    I just can't say anything on this. It's a real loss. Only you can understand this. Please don't feel this way. We all have to go sometime. I am so sorry for your loss. It's a tragedy. May God give you strength. May God bless you with another one. It's all going to be fine. Please keep strength.

    Hello dear! I'm so sorry you faced infertility. I'm sorry you feel this way. All of us here are in the same boat. My husband and I were trying to conceive for 9 years. During all this time I've been feeling stressed. Sometimes or it's even better to say most of the time, I feel like nothing can help and I want to give up. But when I think that because of my weakness I may never have kids, I feel even worse. At some point I understood that there are still options which I can use to become a mother. I chose surrogacy as an option. I want to advise you to look for options. You can ask your doctor or search the internet. You can use donor eggs or try surrogacy or adopt a child. I know this is hard to take such decisions. But feeling sorry for yourself only takes your time away from you. I wish you not to give up and be strong!

    You are not alone hun! I also had hard times when sadness comes to my life and everything I want to do is to stop. I had 3 MCs on early terms. I was broken. I felt like everything was in vain. I thought that I was cursed and I don't deserve to become a mother. I can't hold back my tears when I remember that horrible period of my life. I was stressed and depressed. I wanted to give up and not once. Thanks to my husband and his support we went through this. We decided to turn to surrogacy. Actually our doctor recommended us to do so. Now we are waiting for our baby to be born. I know you want to have a baby now. You don't want to wait and go through all this s***. We've been waiting for this moment for 8 years. I wish you to be strong and patient! I wish you to have successful TTC. Don't you ever give up!

    Hello dear OP! First of all I have to say that this thread was really helpful for me. I'm so sorry about your story. I'm glad you are moving forward. I'm 36 yo. I was diagnosed with premature menopause. Now I'm looking for information about ivf with donor eggs. How is your journey going? Any news? Have you found a donor? I hope I'll be able to talk to you. How do you feel about the procedure itself? I'm so scared. I’m so sorry for all these questions. I'm new to this and I'm very nervous.

    I'm so sorry you faced such situation. Stress and sometimes "trying too hard to conceive" may actually play a role in up to 30% of all infertility problems. Stress can hamper ovulation. No amount of sperm will make a difference if the woman's body hasn't released an egg. The explanation of what happens in a woman's body when she is stressed begins in an organ the size of a chickpea on the lower side of our brain, the pituitary gland. A woman's body is involved in a constant monthly dance of hormones, for which ovulation is the biological grand finale. The pituitary gland has responsibility for ovulation. The pituitary communicates with the ovaries by sending hormones through the bloodstream – first hormones that cause the egg to mature, and then hormones that trigger ovulation. But when a woman is stressed, other hormones are released in the brain, which can bungle the hormone cycle. Dear, first of all you should visit your doctor. Both you and your husband should check your health. Also I think you should visit a psychologist, who will help you to find the reason of your stress. Even if your only way out is using eggs of a donor, you still have to carry a healthy pregnancy. You have to get rid of everything which bothers you or make you feel bad. I wish you best of luck! Hope to hear from you soon!
