Infertility, Child Loss, looking for women who can relate
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.

This is not talked about enough 💙
I'm so sorry for your struggles, my heart goes out to you and I hope people experiencing the same might reach out 🩷
@Amanda84 thanks for your reply. It’s definitely not talked about enough, and for a long time I didn’t say much but now all I want to do is talk. The isolation is incredibly hard. Hopefully some others with similar experiences will find this thread and we can all get some things off our chests.
@RiverTurtle1991 Im so sorry you have had to experience such loss and greif. I also have endometriosis and im going to have a hysterectomy. I am so happy you were able to adopt. My son was stillborn in 2013 and even with an autopsy they couldn't give any answers as to why this happened. I did not adopt any children but I was blessed with one miracle baby in 5 years after my son was stillborn. She is now 8 years old and have zero chance at having another. Im greatful and still quite shocked I was able to have a living child I still grieve for another. I have major medical issues.
