doing this solo

Hello to all! I am 38, tried the whole husband thing and found out he was unfaithful. So I am trying to do this on my own, I had my first iui last month, and it didn't work. It is extremely hard doing this alone, anyone else doing this solo?

hi there, i am 27 and also ttc solo using a donor. because of the severity of my endometriosis and failure of other treatment options i am scheduled for a hysterectomy next year. been trying with donor for almost two years and still nothing, my window of opportunity is closing fast and lack an understanding support network as they all have partners and children which happened so easily for them and continue to do so (my sister has six already and is 30) its heartbreakin but worth it if successful. my fingers are crossed for u, i know first hand how hard this journey is

Thank you for your kind words! I knew this would be hard, but it is a lot harder then I thought. Looking for a sperm donor, taking herbs, vitamins, injections, vaginal inserts, eating healthy, I would think the you would work. But it didn't, and the part that is the worse is to cry by myself. There is no other half to hold my hand and hug me as we get through this together. A few friends know, plus my mom, but they have not gone through the infertility treatments, so they really can not understand. Did you do it alone with the sperm and treatments?
