Infertile and unmarried now ?

Romanticredcars28074, 27 September, 2020 at 19:15 Posted on Planning 0 2
Hello everyone,

I know that everyone will be feeling rubbish about the current state of things.
Two years ago, we lost a precious baby due to miscarriage. Since then we have been trying to no success. It took me a lot of time to get over, and build up the courage to book our wedding. I was grieving badly for about a year, crying every day, finding everything really hard.When we booked our wedding for February 2021, it gave me something positive to work at. If we can't have a baby, we can still have a fabulous wedding. But now this looks in doubt. We are refered to ivf, but our chances are so low, I wanted to wait until after our wedding, because I didn't want the devastation of our one and only go at ivf to ruin the run up to our big day. I dont know what to do now. I just feel like the one thing in my life that I could do like other couples, get married, has been taken away from us. I'm 36 now, so time is against me.I just feel so crap.

    I’m so sorry to hear how you are feeling; I can hear the pain and understand why.
    It’s so so hard to try and ‘detach’ the two things (wedding and IVF) but you need to take on one challenge at a time. This whole Covid pandemic is crap, so crap, and has had such a negative impact on your plans but there is still hope (even if it’s small!).
    When you look at your life in one year’s time, what do you want to have done/accomplished or be experiencing ? Is it the life of a newly wed or is it the process of IVF ? Getting married is really unpredictable at the moment but we know until March 2021 (unless something miraculous happens, which is could!) then weddings will be very small but will still happen. Do you want to postpone and have the ‘bigger’ wedding or do you want to do the ‘small’ wedding and begin IVF.I know it’s so hard to know what to do, you may not even know at the moment but take some time to speak to your OH and work out what you want your lives to look like in a year. We all know that our lives won’t be like it is right now, in a years time. But for now, it is also totally okay to be heartbroken, fed up, grieving for what you have had taken away. My mum always says ‘give yourself 24 hours to feel every emotion you are feeling and let yourself sit in it but then when that 24 hours are up, start to make a plan on how to change it’ .
    I know there’s a huge community on her but I’m also here if you want to message privately (not sure if you can lol - I’m very new to the app- but if you can then I’m here!) x x

    I know this thread is old, but in case the original poster sees this—or if it helps someone else—I wanted to share some encouragement. I'm truly sorry you're going through this. Infertility can be an incredibly difficult journey, but the good news is that it’s one of the most successfully treated medical conditions today. If one clinic has given you a low chance, I would strongly recommend seeking a second opinion, especially from top IVF destinations. You can find a list of highly-rated clinics on e.g. fertilityclinicsabroad, fertilityroad. and others. Many of clinics offer free initial consultations. If you're still struggling, I want to wish Wishing you strength on your journey.
