Infertility, Child Loss, looking for women who can relate
Motherhood Support (FC Mother) / by RiverTurtle1991

...See more Hey everyone. I’ve found this group while looking for a community where I can talk through some of the grief and struggles I’ve experienced over ten years of dealing with infertility. I’ve got endometriosis, and “unexplained infertility.” We tried all sorts of treatments but nothing ever took. The truth is it’s never not on my mind. There are times when I feel so incredibly inadequate, and so deeply grief stricken that I can barely function. I also have two beautiful kids we adopted from foster care who I love with my whole heart and sometimes the guilt I feel for wanting to have a biological child is worse than the pain of not being able to.  Can anyone in here relate? I don’t have a lot of support, and often feel like a burden when bringing it up. Like I’m a downer. I’d love to talk to anyone with similar experiences. Maybe we can help each other.
