I'm weighing whether it's worth it for me, to try concieving again. I had 2 miscarriages, the 2nd with IVF. I had 3 IUIs in between, with Gonal F ( Read more... )

It sounds to me like you are doing what is right for you. I think it can be hard to stop ttc when it's been something consuming your life for a long time. I think it really sucks when people who want to get pregnant are not able to. I would think that would be very sad, and not something it would be easy to let go of.

I like to be pragmatic about things. I just want to get on with enjoying my life instead of doing medical things that are difficult.

I think that's only a decision you can make. Is age a factor here? I only ask because if not, I would definitely suggest giving yourself a little time to heal longer. I really can't imagine going through a miscarriage after IVF. I went through one after femara + ovidrel trigger + IUI and that was very hard on me. We weren't going to try again for probably a year (but age is on my side) but I wound up pregnant naturally after a few months and now have my son. I agree totally about not talking to people who aren't supportive! Find a great community online. I have PCOS and looove my PCOS buddies. We all have babies due in the same month and it's a lifesaver. Plus, it's great to talk to people when you are going through the fertility meds and that whole process. I would highly HIGHLY suggest it. I even had a group of ladies who were going through or had gone through a miscarriage. That in and of itself was incredibly encouraging ( ... )

I'm 43, so yes, age is a factor, unfortunately.

I knew my sisters were both trolling me, one handing out Dr. Phil advice, but when my mom had almost no reaction to the 2nd miscarriage, it took the counselor to point out that though my mom loves me, she is not a great resource for me.

I don't think it's crazy to want to stop. I had 3 mc in a row and I know I didn't want to go again.

Would you ever consider adoption? I think just because you move on from one method,doesn't mean you have to let go of the overall dream

My boyfriend is lukewarm on the whole adoption thing. I'm not sure I have the energy anymore for children, regardless of where we would get them!

I was trying to focus on being happy, and living in the present moment, so my perspective has changed it seems, I am becoming satisfied with the things I AM able to do with my life.

That's a great way of looking at it
