Conception Frustrations?
If you're trying to conceive and it's taking longer than you had hoped, what frustrations are you running into? Is it that just about everyone around you seems to be pregnant? Or, something someone said? Or, is you-know-who (your mom, his mom...) pressuring you or asking when way too often? Does it sometimes feel like TTC is more like Trying to Cope?

Long time desire, very frustrated

Posted by: snickerdoodle on Mon Jan 14, 2008
The one thing I have always wanted to be since I was a young child, was to be a mother. I was married young and I was his third wife. He said he wanted to have another child (would have been his fifth), but he really didn't. We were married for 7 years (you can guess what happened). I went through infertility treatment after 6 years of trying to get pregnant. I quit after 6 months of humiliation because it was apparent that my ex was sabotaging the whole process. 6 months later I got pregnant. I lost it at three months. A blessings, I guess, since the marriage ended shortly after. Now, I am married to a wonderful man who truly wants to have a child with me. I am 38, almost 39 years old. We have only been trying for a few months, but I am scared and frustrated. It totally seems like everyone I know gets pregnant without trying. I've been referred to an endocrinologist and believe me, this one isn't sabotaging it, not in the least. I guess, I want to wait a few more months though. But at my age, that's against all my doctors advice. I've just started grad school and won't be done until I'm 43 years old. I don't want to wait until then and it will be hard to be a mom and a student. But, we still want to keep trying. I feel between a rock and a very hard place.
