We all stumble. We don’t always have someone to talk to about it, so there’s this thread. What went wrong and can you ever forgive yourself? Probably not, if you’re like me. No judgment.

    You know what fucking sucks?

    Unexplained infertility. We so desperately wanted more. We’re very grateful for our two, but we always wanted a big family. It’s been 2½ years of trying, and it looks like it’s not ever going to happen.

    And I don’t really have more words for it than that.

        The trouble is my wife and I are reluctant to go for too big of an age gap, or past a certain age for my wife due to increased risk. So… hope is kinda dying fast.

          I can totally relate. We had planned on having two, but after how difficult the first one was we decided better just to try and get this one right… Which is kind of working, aside from all the poop.
