Hi all. I’m new here and I’m just looking for a bit of advice or guidance.
3 years ago I was told due to Endometriosis and an extremely low egg count that sadly I would be unable to conceive naturally. Myself and long term boyfriend used our savings for 1 round of IVF (we didn’t qualify on the NHS) which sadly didn’t work. I had counselling at the time and have had it on/off since.
I’m still really struggling to come to terms that I’ll never have a child of my own and still feel very overwhelmed by it.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Will my first reaction to a friend or relative announcing pregnancy to cry and feel jealous? I just don’t know how to move past this.
Thank you

I’m so sorry IVF didn’t work and things have been so hard for you! I totally get those feelings when other people fall pregnant around me, it’s so tough when it’s all you want. Counselling sounds like it’s been helpful, definitely talking to people helps. We have started IVF yet so not in the same position unfortunately but do have endometriosis and unexplained infertility so get some of those feelings for sure xx
