Anyone else feel the same? I am so ready to give up and stop being a stupid pin cushion. I hate the expensive let downs. I hate it all.

I don't know that I would have phrased it exactly the same way, but I did feel despair when I experienced my 5 (yes, 5) failures ... two iuis, two ivfs, and one de cycle. I was ready to throw in the towel. And the expense? Good Lord! My RE basically had to cajole me to try one more time. I had convinced myself that I was barren. Thank God, I tried one more time, and now I have my boy.

It's a long journey for some of us. And it's not for the faint-hearted. It's perfectly normal to experience a range of emotions, including anger. I just hope that down the road, you get your baby, too.

Oh, honey... God's not doing this to you... But if you let Him, He'll get you through this. We live in an imperfect world full of injustice... And infertility is one of the most cruel. You just can't give up. Never lose sight of what you want... Picture your little one every morning you wake and tell him or her that Mama won't quit til she brings them home... And hold yourself to it! And pray for strength and tenacity to fight and to keep fighting whenever you get knocked down... Because you will get knocked down and it does feel like you're getting kicked around.. But only you can dust yourself off and try again.

Good luck, Flashy. You're in my prayers.

I know it's hard. I've never felt my heart break this way before. I have even questioned God why me, but he reminds me that he loves me and that he is not punishing me. Every time I start to feel like hope is lost, I read the psalms and it recharges me with hope and faith. I know in my heart that God will grant our wishes, just all in his time and I'm learning to be patient. Remember it's ok to feel sad, just don't allow it to defeat you. Many blessings of strength and happy healthy babies your way.
