I went to a one year olds birthday party today. It was really tough to keep my happy face in place. Tonight I just feel like crying and I've been weird and overly sensitive with DP all afternoon/evening. I wish I had a one year old too

I have been trying to wrap my head around the fact that we probably can't have any more kids naturally for over 12 months now (and IVF is likely to be emotionally tricky as we'd need donor sperm and DP and I haven't even discussed that option at this point). I don't seem to be making any progress towards that elusive acceptance concept.

For those of you who've been trying for ages, does it get easier to accept eventually? Do you just give up hope of conceiving naturally as a way to cope or do you cling to tiny shreds of it (despite your best intentions) regardless and just somehow learn to accept the situation?

I'm sorry if this doesn't seem to be in the right place, I don't think there's a better spot. We seem to be in quite a unique situation with regards to our fertility situation and that can be quite isolating at times.
