It's game over for me

Im 39 and had an appointment yesterday at the fertility Centre to discuss blood test results.having been through ivf 5 times already an having constant miscarriages , dealing with severe endo for the last 18 years. I was completely devastated to find out that my ovarian reserve is extremely low and on the lowest side of low. My chances of having a baby naturally and through ivf are very low.part of me was always hoping it would happen for me and another part of me wanted to draw a line under it all and move on in life. This whole experience over the last 18 years has caused me so much emotion and devastation. I was and am devastated at yesterday's news ,however I feel a little relief that I can finally move forward knowing that all my hope that I had that it may happen has actually gone. I never thought this day would happen soo soon.i still feel soo young at 39. I'm a bag of mixed emotions.i just dont know what to do with myself.

So so sorry to hear you feel this way and is not something that can be taken lightly. Give yourself the time to rest and regain some energy to deal with all this. Motherhood comes in all forms and I think the most important one is to nurture ourselves as well. Big virtual hug

All the love 💕 no words …

I’m so very sorry that it has come to this very heartbreaking to be told this news, sounds like you have been through so much over the years with endometriosis , all your ivf treatments & suffering miscarriage’s It’s so unfair that endometriosis takes so much from us. I always read of these “miracle” natural pregnancies after years of fertility treatments & wish that this would happen for people like yourself.

I don’t really have any advice but just wanted you to know that you have support xx

Hi Ronsk, sorry to hear what happening to you. But I was glad reading your last couple of lines. I am 37, suffering from endo for 20 years now. It’s a different journey mentally for each of us and I do believe you can pass this and have a quality of life. Adoption is always an option. But first spend time with yourself and love yourself for a while. The things that meant for you will find you. All the best❤️
