Mom's comment

So my mom said to me the other day "if something is not meant to be, no matter how much you try, it won't work. You will continue to encounter roadblocks along the way". In a sense she is right, I guess, but it really made me wonder - how far should we try in our attempt to get a baby. Is DE, donor embryo or surrogacy pushing too far? If you fail at one or two DE attempts, is that a sign that it is enough and you need to just accept that it will never be? Or should you be persistent and assume that if you have enough faith and endurance you will get a baby? I have always thought that if something is worth it, that you need to continue to endure in order to get it, but now I am wondering if you can take something too far, and at some point just need to leave things alone.
