In a way I do think it's similar to my loss.... it's something that you'll never really move past, and that sucks so very badly.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003334714597731355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-2062455586072168182008-04-23T21:49:00.000-05:002008-04-23T21:49:00.000-05:00rachel, I can so identify with this post. especial...rachel, I can so identify with this post. especially about the passage of time, all the loss, and finding myself unable to give up that last bit of hope of trying. our chances of conceiving a child on our own are virtually nil, yet I still can't seem to shake the possibility that it could happen. it happened once before even though it ended badly. but I'm getting older by the minute and these last 4 years feel like eons and I don't know how to give up... <BR/><BR/>my hub and I are trying to find a way to afford domestic infant adoption but we're just not there. I've done the research and we even started paperwork before our failed IVF, but even aside from the money it is so daunting. so I understand. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry these past 2 years have been so hard on you. even though all of our situations and losses are different, you are not alone. ~lunalunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-30936360292632906542008-04-23T21:34:00.000-05:002008-04-23T21:34:00.000-05:00I know what you mean about hope.

I've sometimes thought it would be easier if someone just said to me, "you will never get pregnant, end of story." so I try to look at as an empowering thing, that I have some control. Some days this works better than others.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799401502134619497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-17109625081169182862008-04-23T20:34:00.000-05:002008-04-23T20:34:00.000-05:00It's strange (and at the same time totally underst...It's strange (and at the same time totally understandable) that it's hard to find someone who really understands your circumstances. Even among people who have dealt with IF for as long as you have, everyone's story is different and everyone's situations have slightly different challenges.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I don't have to tell you that two years is too long. I hope the support you've found through your blog has made it a little more bearable, though.ultimatejourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385256618267945461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-32613785075058196092008-04-23T19:17:00.000-05:002008-04-23T19:17:00.000-05:00Time is killing me right now.

One day, we will be mothers, too. We will. It might not be the way we had initially thought, but it can and will happen. <BR/><BR/>Fuck, I sound almost optomisitic. That is really very unlike me.

I work everyday with children which is a heartbreaker especially when some of these parents (in my opinion) have no clue how to parent and don't seem to want their children. I cannot think about growing old without children because it makes me so very sad. I don't know if we'll ever adopt - but if that hope ever goes away, then I have very little reason to even live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
