Frustrated (triggers) child mentioned.

maven212

Hi, I introed after 6 months of ttc with no luck (I'm 38). I've been very lucky to have one child, but conceiving a second has been hard. Basically, I introed here and then went into denial for another 3 months. I've had my 10th af. I'm seeing someone Friday.

Frustration today was kicked off by two women in my social group that are ku after one cycle. Younger than I, granted - but this is also after a rash of KUs. They are all very nice women and I wish them the best, but I'm having some trouble keeping my head up right now.

..and yet, I know I'm lucky and I know if I really want to, I can find other ways to bring another child into our home. I feel like I shouldn't be this frustrated, which makes me feel guilty for even writing here.

In anycase - my apologies for my absence and sudden post. I wasn't sure where to go to say this.

Also posting to say I'll check in at the sibling board as well.

So sorry, that's so frustrating.

No need to feel guilty! No one could ever say that one women's desire for a child is any less painful than another's, whether she has no kids or 10 kids. And of course there are other avenues open to many of us, but that is a completely different journey from TTC. Creating a biological child is something unique and that desire is not shameful.

You mentioned trying for 10 months while being 35+ ...have you considered seeking medical testing and treatment? Either way, I hope people around you stop getting KU for a while, at least long enough for you to catch your breath, yikes!
