2 years

Today, May 26th marks exactly 2 years since we started TTC. AF arrived on this day 2 years ago and represented hope. DH & I were so happy to start our family. We were filled with excitement at all of the possibilities that awaited us. We really believed that it would happen right away...oh to be that naive again!! We were disappointed the first few months and then after only 4 months I started to get worried and thought something could be wrong, but never in a million years did I think we would be in this situation: Two years of TTC, many unsuccessful treatments including IVF and still no baby.....we aren't even pregnant!! We are in the same place we were 2 years ago except we have less hope and money.

There is so much I could write I just don't have the desire. I am tired of TTC but won't give up until we are parents!!

Wow, our two-year TTC anniversary is just two days apart. I feel you on every word in this post. Hang in there, sweetie. I hope you get your miracle soon.

Congrats on your anniversary. Don't you ever give up. It took us 4 long years and finally I got my BFP. It will happen...

I think you have a great attitude- I am still in the early stages comparatively- just failed first injectibles+IUI but I know people already are surprised we're starting again already but I'm like yeah, it sucks but I will keep going until we have a baby. From everyone's stories I've read, those whose persevere always end up with a baby and it all becomes worth it. Still, TTC anniversaries suck... eat some extra chocolate today!

We will be at our two years in August. We have not done IUI or IVF, just Clomid, because I am scared to waste my money and my emotions are already so raw. I dont think I could handle it. Good luck to yall, I hope we all get our babies soon.

Jessica I'm so sorry. We're coming up on our Crapiversary too. It sucks when you take a step back and quantify the time, money and effort put in to something that so many others can achieve by accident.

Someday, Someway. Right?

I hate these kind of anniversaries! Hallmark just does not have a card to cover them!! I am praying that you never "celebrate" this anniversary ever again!

Such a long road. Sorry you have to travel down it. Hang in there.

So sorry you have to have an anniversary like this. I'm praying for you everyday!

I am so sorry. :( These kinds of anniversaries suck. My fingers are crossed that this is the last one and this time next year you will be pregnant/have a baby in your arms!

I am so sorry. That is the worst kind of anniversary. Have some wine and chocolate today :)

I wish we had some way of knowing in advance how long it would take us 'til we become parents...wouldn't that be nice. But I know it WILL happen--sooner, I hope, rather than later. It's been 4 yrs for us, with not even a chemical pregnancy to show for it... And although there are definitely days when I can't even make myself lean towards it, today is one of those good days where I continue to choose Hope... Hope that one of these days (hopefully IVF round #2!), that elusive BFP will be mine.

Am praying for that for you, as well.

Oh honey, those anniversaries can be so hard. I hope you journey is shorter than ours, but that it ends up the same!! Hang on to that drive
