I dont know how to deal with the intense depression I face due to the inability to conceive as of yet. I am close to a lot of people and have seen 4 births this year and each time I find out of my friends pregnancies, it feels like a knife has been thrashed into my chest and I feel sever pain in my heart. I have yet to find a way to overcome the pain of not being able to do the one thing we as woman were made to do. The only thing that has slightly helped, I would say more of a mask to the pain is keeping myself busy. Is there anyone out there that feels this way? Or am I the only one?

As you breathe slowly, picture God holding you, crying with you, giving you the strength to get through.

No- u r not the only one. I just recently had a miscarraige and I cant bring myself to socialzie with any of my friends with babies yet as it is too difficult. Being busy definitely helps because i dont have time for all the desparing thoughts. |

You're definitly not alone JoMarie, all of my friends have kids & i am so jealous of them. We're currently ttc-ing, every time my period arrives i become depressed more & more. I try to stay positive but its so hard at times, right now im 4 days late (for a 28 day cycle), thanks to the pcos i have irregular cycles so never know when my periods due. At this point my hopes start to rise more & more with every passing day & then...bam! my period arrives & we start all over again. It is so depressing  Newrsd, {{hugs}} Hope you're ok hun "When things go wrong and they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but dont you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
Its when things go wrong when you mustn't quit" |

No you're not alone at all. My friend has recently had a baby and it's so hard to handle being around the baby x *hug* Previous discussions I participated in: Hi I'm new |

You are definitely not alone. I know that there are a lot of times that I get depressed when I find out that one of my friends is pregnant, I know for me in particular, adoption is my only route. I know it's hard, though I do know I'm everyone's favorite 'auntie.' Keep your spirits up, hon, it will happen for you sooner than you think!  Erin "And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance, perserverance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:2-5 |

Thanks so much!!! Everyone experiences pain sometimes, emotional and physical. Next time it threatens to overwhelm you, take a deep breath. As you breathe slowly, picture God holding you, crying with you, giving you the strength to get through. |

I know how you feel. I used to not show that it bothered me that i didnt have a child yet. I'd say i'm still too young and brush off the subject because i didn't want others to know that i could't conceive. Now that my 30th birthday is looming in the very near future i have became very emotional. i cry whenever i hold a baby! i know it's insane, but i try not to do it but i just cant help it. people look at me like i'm crazy. I am going to do all i can do to try and conceive. i've started on the metformin and my dr says after a few months if i can try clomid. I am praying that this works. I dont know what i will do if it doesn't. i haven't been to an infertility specialist yet. i'm going to try this treatment with my gyn and see what happens. I will keep you in my prayers jomarie. i know the pain that you are feeling. |

Thank you for your encouragement! Just remember, God see's the desires of our hearts. And he will honor those desires as we honor him in our life’s. It is his will that we share His love with others. Let that be your focus... helping others even when you feel you cannot help yourself. And before you know it your pregnant!!! I am praying for you as well!!!

Teetle, I feel for you. Do know that even if the meds don't work, there are other ways to bring a child into your life. I'm keeping you in my prayers, though, and I think Jomarie has a great point.  As my mother always says, it will happen, not as soon as you want, but sooner than you think. Erin "And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance, perserverance, character, and character, hope.
