Will you ever give up?

[Catholic Wife]

Will there be a time when you give up TTC?

How long will you TTC before you give up?

What treatments will you undergo in your efforts TTC?

If you find out that you just can't conceive, and that no treatments work, will you adopt?

 

[koban4max]

That must be tough.

 

[Assisi]

I'm not ready to start thinking about giving up...and I'm not sure I ever would give up. But I would undergo treatment, and I would adopt, before I gave up.

Do you ever think about giving up??

 

[SweetBella]

Will there be a time when you give up TTC?..........no.

How long will you TTC before you give up?.......... i won't.

What treatments will you undergo in your efforts TTC?...........i have faith the Lord will do it... I am just trying to wait on His timing and not mine.

If you find out that you just can't conceive, and that no treatments work, will you adopt?

...............yes...adopting is something i would like to do.

 

[koban4max]

I think i'll give another try. LOL.

 

[Catholic Wife]

I am ready to give up. I know that trying for a year isn't all that long, but I'm getting tired of charting and not having any results. Knowing that my time is running out because of being irregular and being in perimenopause doesn't help my attitude, either. And, being Catholic I can't, in good conscience, go through the various fertility treatments to be able to conceive.

My husband and I have talked about this recently, and we've decided that we'll still be open to life, but adoption isn't something that either of us are ready to consider. The way I see it, there is some reason why God hasn't made us parents.

Well, Abraham and his wife had a child in their 100's.

I'm 24, so I still have plenty of time to try. I've been ttc for almost two years - 2 m/c in btwn - and just now am starting the testing phase. I told myself that if tests show nothing wrong, I would quit trying in six months. Basically, because I just can't handle the disapointment month after month. But I honestly don't think I could ever give up even though I say I will. I absolutely will adopt if I cannot have a child on my own.

I really don't want to undergo many treatments either - not that I think there is anything wrong with it - I just want it to happen naturally. I'm talking IVF, etc. If there is a simple fix, like a shot or taking pills, I would probably do that.

I know a woman who had 6 m/c before she went onto have 3 kids. Don't give up.

 

[tiredwalker]

I'll probably not give up until I start menopause (decades away). I just made an appointment to get a hysterosalpingogram. I'm not sure that I would spend the money to get invetro, but I would spend the money and time to adopt. My husband and I have always felt that was an option. In fact, before we started trying, we said, "If for some strange reason we can't have kids, we'll adopt." I would prefer to have a baby of my own. Even if we just had one and then adopted, that would be great.

 

[lovesdolphins]

I'm not sure what options we are going to pursue - but in a few months it will probably be something that we will seriously think about.

I really want to have a baby that hubby & I made together (even if in a petri dish) - but if it isn't part of both me and DH then we will adopt. Meaning, neither one of us want to use donor sperm or egg (we might consider a donor embryo though). We want the child to either be all DH & I or neither one of us, not 1/2.

 

[DonnaB]

I am also Catholic, so we will remain open to life regardless. Since we were blessed with DD already, we decided not to do any heroic conception (drugs). We also decided not to adopt.

I still pray for #2, but we've already been so blessed I hope the longing subsides eventually, though, it can be so hard at times. I am constantly hoping, taking hpt's, etc.

 

[Catholic Wife]

Actually, I wish God would either bless us with a child or take this desire to be a mother away from me....

 

[HappyVonHut]

Well,
I am faced with this decision, very hard right now.

I have 4 children from previous marriage...
my dh and I share 1 child.
we would love just one more..

I have just turned 43

We ahve been ttc for 13 months so far.

I dont want to give up, but I also want to be fair to the child and at 18 I would be 61 at graduation, and that is somthing to seriously think about.

Good luck to you all!

This very thing weighs on our minds.

 

[fuzzymel]

I not sure if I am allowed to post in here or not but I just wanted to say that I am a child of older parents and there are benefits. Yes its a little strange when everyone elses parents are younger but to be honest I wouldnt have changed their ages for the world.

My dhs parents are the same sort of age so he went through the same thing of having older parents. I think the only thing that is a little sad for them is that they dont have any grandchildren when their friends have had them for years (and unless SIL gets married anytime soon they wont be getting any).

Anyway what I was trying to say is dont worry about your age. When I was younger older parents were not too common and it never bothered me but nowdays there are loads of older parents so please dont let things like age weigh on your mind.

Will there be a time when you give up TTC?

Well I guess we kind of have given up right now... we stopped all drugs and charting etc. We've decided to just try the "natural" way for a few months.

How long will you TTC before you give up?

I'm sure we will never really "give up". We will always want our own children and we will continue until either that happens or until I start menopause and can no longer have kids. We will most definitely adopt if we do not conceive within the next few years.

What treatments will you undergo in your efforts TTC?

We will do pretty much anything (ethical). I've already done progesterone shots and I'm open to other fertility treatments.

If you find out that you just can't conceive, and that no treatments work, will you adopt?

Absolutely. I think we would start looking down the adoption road if by year 3 we still have not conceived (We have been trying for just a few weeks shy of 1 year)

 

[ling04]

Perky, my aunt tried for 6 yrs to have kids when she desired them so badly. She finally stepped back and handed it to God. The stopped trying when she was 39 and focused on serving God. She ended up having 2 beautiful healthy sons: 1 at age 40 and 1 at age 42. I'm not saying that happens to everyone, but I wonder if your worrying about it affects it your ability???

Fret not, friend! I'm praying for you from southeast Texas!!!

 

[livin4christ9203]

Will you ever give up?

Will there be a time when you give up TTC? at this time no

How long will you TTC before you give up? not sure yet, not thinking of that.. probably if I feel its' been going on too long and God lets me know one way or the other.

What treatments will you undergo in your efforts TTC?
We will probably go as far as invitro if needed.
If you find out that you just can't conceive, and that no treatments work, will you adopt? yes, definitely

 

[beverhome]

If you believe in your words having power as Jesus spoke in the Bible. Call in your children and speak as thou you have them. This is the method we did and thou we had to do that for yrs we now have five healthy naturally concieved children. I gave up ( but still cried out to the Lord) but my husband stood fast.
