My wife and I are struggling to have a child. After trying for years with not even a pregnancy scare we are now on our second round of IVF and so far have had very limited success due to her having early onset menopause. I know it is still possible that things will work out but the concept of us not having a family is becoming very real.

We love each other deeply and it wouldn't break our marriage if we are unsuccessful but the reality of where we are in life has been very hard for both of us to deal with. I'm not sure how badly it will affect her if we are unable to have a child but I know it will likely be baggage that I will carry for a long time.

Hardest part is that we are just waiting. Always just waiting for a glimmer of hope and good news but knowing it may never come.
