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?

Same old story...

Posted by: LadyLuck on Thu Jun 19, 2008
I have a son, my fiance has a daughter. He is a wonderful man and father. We have been trying for nearly a year now to no avail. We could be trying harder, but I don't want to put too much pressure on us. He would like a son to carry on his name as he is the only male in his family. At first we joked about not being able to get pregnant. But now, I don't find it so funny. Since we decided to start trying, my sister has had a son. My best friend is a couple months pregnant. A few days ago another friend of mine found out she was pregnant. And yesterday...yep, you guessed it! Another close friend found out she was also pregnant. None of them were trying, nor are they in the "ideal" situation to have another child. These are all their second children. They say, well, it's your turn now. I KNOW! I wish it was that easy. I must admit that when the last friend made her announcement, the look on my face made it so painfully obvious that I was not as happy as I should be for her. A couple of ill attempted jokes and fake smiles tried to cover up my hurt, but I don't think it helped much. I had to sneak away to let out a few tears. It's not that I'm not happy for them, it's just, how can I sit back and watch them all go through 9 mos of pregnancy and then give birth to beautiful little babies when I'm wishing I could join the club? I never was much for kids and after I had my son, said I didn't want anymore. I couldn't fathom ever actually wanting and trying to have another child. But now that I have found this fabulous man, I find myself depressed when aunt flo pays her little visit. I feel like a complete failure. I have had a cyst on my cervix in the past and can't help but to wonder if there was some permanent damage. However, I do not have the resources or desire to go through any unnatural methods of conception. To sum it up...yep, everybody but me, the one who is stable and so eager to have another child.
