Can you answer K’s question about Infertility?:
My husband and I have been TTC for about 16 months. I am not even kidding when I say i know 15 people who are pregnant right now. I just cannot handle it anymore. My periods completely stopped after 3 months of DH and I trying to get preggers. I went to the docs and they put me on BC to jump start my period and it made me sick as a dog. And now I have to wait 2 months to go to a specialist for infertility. I have prayed, bought OPKs, tried every sex position possible, bought herbs and minerals to try to get pregnant and nothing is working. I never wanted to have to go to docs. and breaks my heart when I see people who cannot care for a baby or women who did want anymore children get pregnant. I feel like sh*t about it. ARG! its frustrating. I was just wondering if anyone else feels like this?

Infertility Feedback: i understand why you would feel that way. ya know, maybe you should try adopting. i know a women who could never get pregnant. finally she decided to just adopt. after adopting a child she stopped being hung up on getting pregnant and she ended up getting pregnant twice out of nowhere.
Infertility Feedback: Oh yea! I’ve been there, many times. Sometimes I will see a pregnant lady or hear of a friend being pregnant and I’ll be ok with it, but more often it tears me to pieces. My sister has had 2 babies since I’ve been trying, both unplanned. I barely made it through the baby showers. My niece is pregnant and is coming to visit tomorrow, and it’s the first time I’ve seen her since she got pregnant, I am having some very difficult emotions about this.
But what you are feeling is normal. It’s hard, but normal.
Infertility Feedback: babe i am totally understanding where ur coming from! i hate it. i had a miscarriage about a yr and a half ago and have been tryin to get pregnant ever since and its just not happening. It hurts to see others pregnant, people that dont even try or that dont even want kids, mostly teenagers that arent even ready for kids getting pregnant just like that!! Dont worry hun, it will happen for us one day. till then dont give up hope. Just relax and i know it sounds impossible but just dont think about it, stop stressing!
Good luck!!
Infertility Feedback: First off..Im sorry for your battle…I will pray for you. I do see a lot of people pregnant and i am not upset. I wish i could be too but it simply wouldnt be fair to the baby because i am still in college and not quite financially stable enough for a baby, but my heart still aches for one:( When i see a pregnant woman, i think to myself, congratulations to you for your blessing. It bothers me when i see parents ignoring and underapreciating their children (i work in child care so it happens every day) especially when i have established a closer relationship to the children to that of their parents. Some parents just dont realize how wonderful their own kids are, which is so unfortunate. I am also frustrated when i see 14 yr olds getting pregnant because it is the FAD or simply because they are not sexually educated. It is frustrating at some point but i do believe everything happens for a reason…even if i cannot explain it. I hope you get your wish for your child…I cannot wait for the day that i can start trying to concieve.
Infertility Feedback: I know how you feel on both ends. I am 22 and got pregnant at 21. I am married and she was VERY planned. Most people see me and assume ( because of my age ) she was unplanned, however it took us 1 year and 2 months to conceive her. I used to feel the same way because the whole time we where trying 4 of my friends and co workers became pregnant all unplanned and they would always complain about it! So annoying. I understand how you feel, but don’t give up! Your time will come!!!!! I know its hard but just try to relax. Stress, anger, and anxiety are not good for trying to make a baby! Just have sex everyday of month! : ) GOOD LUCK!
Infertility Feedback: Dont get frustrated! Enjoy this time with your hubby. I know you have heard this often but truly enjoy the time you guys have together. Its only making you stronger as a couple and when the time happens you will be able to provide the child with the best family ever. You have to remember that its the ppl that have kids in a rush and have not worked on their relationship that end up in divorce. You have to put everyone elses pregnancy aside and think of the quality you are spending with your hubby and appreciate it. By the way dont give up. Sometimes it takes years but when it finally happens it your very own little miracle.
Infertility Feedback: I know what you mean. My husband and I have been trying for 3 and a half years now with 1 miscarriage in that time. Also in that time my brother in law and his ex wife fell pregnant and now have a 1 1/2 year old, and now my brother has just found out his partner is pregnant. I found that I am happy for my really close friends, but when I find out that my family (especially my brother who hasn’t even been with his partner a year and all they do is fight) that really depresses me. Also when I go to the shops and it just seems to me like everyone around me is pregnant. Infertility is one of the hardest issues to deal with, but I just remind myself, in the end, it’s all worth it, because we’ll have our turn soon.
Infertility Feedback: I know exactly how you feel and I’m in the same boat. Everyone I know is pregnant. My DH and I have been trying for 18 months. I feel like crap too honey. I get so frustrated and sometimes I want to give up. But I just pray that things will work out for the best. It breaks my heart to hear “I’m pregnant!” from every one and their sister. If you want someone to talk to send me an email. I’d be more than happy to listen.
Infertility Feedback: I understand how you feel. In the past year, I’ve had one miscarriage and an ectopic.All I’ve ever wanted to be was a mother and I’m literally surrounded by pregnant people.It can be very frustrating. And I recently met a woman through my job, who was seven months pregnant and addicted to prescription drugs. It broke my heart. Why her and not me? Its so easy to lose faith, but you have got to keep your hope alive.I’ve met women who had multiple miscarriages before conceiving, and women that it took years to concieve.I know its hard to see others who don’t have problems but remember you’re not alone. Keep trying!!!
After 4 years of unsuccessful TTC (with 2 known losses in the past year or so), yes, I know how you feel and then some! A friend gave birth last week and I saw her baby yesterday….the day AF decided to arrive (a tad late, I might add…that’s just adding insult to injury!) I have a child already, so the fact secondary IF has been slapped onto me makes me feel even worse as DD asks all the time when she’ll get to be a big sister…nearly all of her school friends have siblings, most of them have more than one, so as though IF isn’t hard enough, add your child’s heartbreak on top of it and welcome to my world…It’s a killer. I honestly don’t know how much more I can take, yet I keep going.
Hang in there…hopefully your upcoming appointment will result in answers being found.
