Anyone out there who has been through trying for a baby through IUI or IVF and their partner is carrying the baby left feeling like a failure that they can’t get them pregnant and left feeling really useless?

@easySky9361 Hi! I hope you are doing well. I'm really sorry to hear that you and your partner are having a hard time conceiving. I want to let you know that this is more common than you think and you did nothing wrong. It's not your fault, I promise ❤️ Many people go through IVF these days and the world is moving in a direction where conception happens so many different ways and there's no reason to be ashamed at all. Please try to be gentle with yourself during these times and remember that you are not to blame.
