feeling "broken"

lulufh37

My husband and I have just started down the path of ttc.  I am 24 years old and was just told that I am not ovulating on my own.  My blood work came back fine, and the ultrasound only found 1 cyst.  We found my first cyst when I was 8 years old, and I have had problems with them ever since.  The doctor is confused with what is happening and wants to run another test to see if my fallopian tubes are open.  I feel sad because it seems that everyone I know is either pregnant, or just had a baby.  My husband told me 2 days ago that his 19 yo cousin is due in May and I broke down and started crying.  He is very supportive, but he doesn't understand how hard this is on me.  My family thinks we should wait, but I have never wanted anything as much as I want to be a mom.  We don't want to tell anyone that we are ttc in case it doesn't work out, but it's difficult when everyone keeps asking when it's going to be your turn.  I'm scared of how hard this is going to be and I don't want this to cause a rift between my husband and myself.  Any suggestions?

First, tell them its your turn when its your turn, and its none of their business.  Second, talk to your husband. Infertility sucks, and you need each other. Be respectful of each others feelings and talk it out! Third, your path is just beginning and it could be long and hard. Get a good support system, find the friends who you can trust. Lastly, take it one day at a time. Good or bad, everything can change in a day.
