Frustration with fertility
Find a Conversation

My husband and I have been married for 4 1/2 years. I absolutely love children, and have always wanted to be a mommy. We decided we would try for a child about six months ago. Unfortunately, we've had no luck. I am very frustrated! I've researched what I should be doing. I've been tracking my ovulation, but still...no pregnancy. It's frustrating because I'm 27 years old and most of my friends from high school, college, and work are either currently pregnant or have had a baby in the last year. It seems like I am the odd one out. I have been overwhelmed with baby showers, and that has been taking a toll on me emotionally. I am sure there are many women facing the same situations I am now. I just feel like I am totally alone. I talk to all of my friends who've had babies, but they don't quite understand the way I feel. I know my timing is in God's hands. I pray for a child everyday.
Another negative for me is that my menstral cycles can be irregular. I have been regular the last 2 months, but I've gone 4-6 months before without a cycle.
I would really like to talk with someone(s) who are experiencing the same feelings and frustrations I am.

Hi there!
You have definitely come to the right place.

Reba,
Thank you so much for you words of support.
I have been trying to get pregnant for close to three years now. My husband and I didn't worry about it too much. I was still young (I'm 25 now) and he already had a daughter (my step-daughter) but we finally realized that something was not going right. He got tested and he's got an above average sperm count. I got tested and they found cysts on my ovaries. I'm scheduled to have surgery in December and my doctor said that should really help as long as my fallopian tubes are clear.
I thought I was feeling better about the whole thing until I heard about the new batch of people that are having babies!!! AAhhhh!
I would love to talk to you more. I am so sorry you and your husband are struggling. I know how hard it is. Something that should be so easy to accomplish....and then it doesn't.
It's mind-numbing and sad and so hard to deal with on a day to day basis.
Lots of love and prayers to you and your husband.
I would love to know how the herbal supplement you are taking is working.
Take care,
Jillian
Good Morning Jillian,
Infertility is definitely not the most fun topic.
Thank you so much for your kind words...it really helps to talk to others who do know what you are going through.
Thank you also for the info on the herbal supplement. I think I will try that also. Nothing can hurt!!
I agree with you that there is a plan for our lives. I wouldn't call myself religious necessarily, but I feel as though I have a very close relationship with the Divine. I feel very strongly that I need to just accept whats happening and let go. I think that'll probably be the time that I do get pregnant! But it's very hard to let go of something that is so deeply ingrained in me.
Again, thank you for your reply. I find it hard to talk to even my close friends about this. They either already have children or are not wanting them for awhile longer.
I would love to chat anytime.
Take care and be well,
Jillian
Jillian,
I am also having a hard time letting go and not taking control.
Hi Kristina,
The fertility supplement my hubby and I tried was called Fertilaid (www.fertilaid.com).
