Unhappy Obsession after 12 years

Almost 12 years ago, we found out that we would have to do ivf/icsi to conceive. We were heartbroken! I became completely obsessed. I was constantly on the internet searching for natural male infertility treatment options and emotional support, and I started watching shows about pregnancy & babies and crying all the way through it. Also, I couldn't be around anyone who was pregnant or babies. Then, slowly but surely, I went through the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) and came back to "sanity"! *lol*

Well, we are finally gonna do the ivf/icsi, after many postponements. Here comes the internet obsession, depression at the site of , & crying at the site of a baby all over again! Why does this stuff have to happen to all of us?

Thank you for "listening" to my venting!
