Any body feels like they are suffering from infertility depression?

My husband and I have been ttc for over two years, we will start IUI or IVF treatment next month but the last couple of months I feel very depressed. I do not enjoy having sex anymore, I have no energy to get up in the morning, I feel like I hate my job. I do not enjoy going to family functions because I am going to see my nieces/nephews.
I do not enjoy alot of things that use to make me happy. I feel hopeless about the future. Am I going into deep depression?? Should I go to a specialist/counseling? How to cope with this according to your experience??

We know your pain! We went through unexplained infertility - tried 3 Clomid IUI's and 3 injectible meds IUI's - all failed. It almost is a given that if you are ttc, you become a magnet for pregnant women - I swear they pop up everywhere!

I finally lost it - crying all the time and just completely unable to cope. We were preparing to start an IVF cycle and I knew that I was not in the right frame of mind. I did end up seeking counseling - we sought treatment through Boston IVF and the Domar Center which is run by Dr. Alice Domar (author of Conquering Infertility). They reassured me that it was normal to be depressed when struggling with infertility. I ended up seeking talk therapy counseling and joined a women's Mind/Body Support Group that was wonderful.

My advice would be to pick up the book Conquering Infertility and seek help - here is a link for you to check out:

If you are in the New England area check out the Domar Center but if you are not, check out Resolve.org - they have programs all over the country. Your RE might also be able to recommend someone.

Don't lose hope! Feel free to contact me off YA.

Talk to your doctor.

I've been TTC for over 2 years as well. I know how you are feeling. I torture myself by watching 'A Baby Story' and 'Bringing Home Baby' on television and end up crying my eyes out. I sooooo want a baby, but it's just not happening. :( It's really heartbreaking to see all these other people around you having babies and loving them. I just try to keep telling myself that it WILL happen and that when it does, I'll enjoy it THAT much more because I worked so hard and long for it to happen. Good luck to you, I wish you the best.

I am sorry about your difficulties. Yes it does sound you are suffering from depression. Counseling may help you I don鈥檛 know. Please remember that this troubles with conceiving are not your fault, this things just happen sometimes and you are not alone many couples have issues with conceiving Perhaps you could try and join an online support group or even find a local support group in your area. You might trying looking on meetup.com they have groups for so many different things.

Take to heart that if something is meant to be it will eventually happen when the time is right.

I know Please don't feel defeated not yet Hold on to your hope
