The hubby and I are trying to have a bay bay. We have been trying for almost a year now, and things are just not going as planned. We tried so hard the first three years we were together to not have kids, so we thought it was going to be a piece of cake when we finally started trying. Nope.
It is just so frustrating because as a woman you are expected to be a fertile machine. and it just seems like I am deficient in that area. I have been told over and over "when the time is right it will happen" or "relax and just let it happen" I am tired of hearing this bull! I have relaxed and I have given it time. I want some babies! So I have made a fertility appointment *something I never thought I would have to do* for the end of the month. Hopefully we can find out about what's going on.
I know that there are so many woman my age struggling with infertility, and I know how it feels now. It get really frustrating when every other day you see people on Facebook talking about being pregnant with their second or third child, and you are just praying that one day you will be blessed with one. I have not come to terms with this I still get

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by love! I think I might have to ask my husband for a get away for my birthday! Congrats to your friend.
DeleteNow following! Don't get discouraged. It took me a year and before that I had a miscarriage...but I did end up having a healthy baby boy. We are now trying for our second, but it has already been four months...so I know that when you are ready but your body isn't how frustrating that can be. Just hang in there! Also, not sure if it works, but it might have for me, but I ate yogurt a few times a day which is supposed to increase fertility. I hope it does!
ReplyDeleteAwe congrats and thanks for the sweet words! I will have to try the yogurt trick. Thanks for stopping by.

I am thrilled to be able to be a part of the blog hop and thank you for your sweet words they made my day!
DeleteWhat a heartfelt post. While I haven't struggled with infertility, we did lose our first baby to a miscarriage. It was devastating. When that happened, it just "seemed" like everyone else I knew was getting pregnant and I saw a million pregnant ladies while out shopping or walking to work. It was so hard. So I know a little bit about how you are feeling. I hope the best for you and that you and your hubby will ultimately end up with a beautiful baby in the near future.

ReplyDeleteI have some advice for you that has worked for a few couples we know. My hubby devised this theory and you may think it is silly but try it.
Have sex with your husband every other day. Don't worry about the ovulation schedule, have fun, stop stressing and just enjoy getting some "action" every other day. Hoping my some miracle it works for you because it has worked for a few people he has told about his theory.....
OK, now I have to say that sounds pretty fun! Thanks for the advise and the follow!
DeleteGood luck with the appointment, I hope all goes well and you have good baby news soon. Lots of good vibes being sent your way from your readers. :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Raising Imperfection Hop & I'm your latest follower.
Thank you darling! And welcome to my crazy little world!
DeleteWhat is always frustrating to me is the people that get pregnant at the drop of a hat that obviously don't need or want children. You know who I'm talking about. It's not fair!
ReplyDeleteI personally have not been in your situation, but I know many others who have been. A good thing to do, and maybe you have done this, is just to make sure you don't have any underlying conditions that might hinder the process. Get checked in and out by your doctor, sort of speak! And of course, I know that's hard to do, but just try not to think about it. I think it's kind of like when you give up on guys then THE ONE comes around. ;-)
I'll be following along, keep us updated!
I do know and I think that those situations make me feel the worst! And on the underlying conditions, I am hoping there are none, but I understand they may be there. I made the appointment for a full work up! I am dreading all the needles, but I will be glad to know the results. Thanks for following!
DeleteI totally feel you. We're going on two years of TTC (including a husterical pregnancy) with no end in sight (thank you, irregular, anovulatory cycles!), and it's definitely really, really frustrating, especially when everyone else seems to constantly be pregnant. For me, it's easier to deal with now, but from about the 1 year-1 1/2 year mark, it was harder than it had ever been. I know that some day I'll be a mom, even if it's taking WAY longer than I anticipated. Don't give up hope! Find a strong support system. And major kudos for talking about your struggle -- infertility needs to stop being a dirty word.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commenting. I really needed to hear that! I am so sorry for your loss, but glad to hear that y'all are still trying. Infertility is such a hush hush topic and I really just want people to know about it and not be ashamed to share, because we all need someone to talk to and a shoulder to cry on sometimes,
