I’m struggling with mixed feelings and emotions regarding this journey and wanted to see if anyone is in a similar boat and where you mentally draw the line with how much you’re willing to do? Not sure how much I am allowed to mention about my LC but she is almost 10 years old and I have never been pregnant again following her birth. I do truly want another child. My partner has been in her life since she was 2 and they genuinely have a great father/daughter relationship but he has never experienced birth, having an infant, etc and would like to and I understand that and I want that as well. I just feel like I’m already drowning in managing TTC and parenting. Last cycle was our first medicated cycle which was unsuccessful… this cycle we are trying IUI. I’m overwhelmed with trying to fit the monitoring appointments into my day while also caring for my daughter. Next weekend I will be late for one of her events because my monitoring ultrasound is that morning. She is going with a teammate and I will only miss an hour or two out of a ten hour event, she says she doesn’t care but I never miss anything so it’s weighing on me. I truly feel like I wouldn’t be able to do IVF… I just read an article about a woman who died during egg retrieval and it made me spiral. How could I put myself in that risk when I have a child who needs me? But we are also paying out of pocket for all meds and IUI so to spend all this money and time and still ultimately fail is so disheartening. I’m not trying to be insensitive, if I didn’t have any LC I think I would do anything and everything and make TTC my whole life. I just don’t know where to draw the line when my LC is my whole life but I do truly want another. Hope this makes sense and anyone has some insight 😕
