Trying to Get Pregnant

My mom is sick of hearing me complain...

So it has been almost a year since we started TTC and we haven't had any luck. (It took 2 years for my husband to be ready to try and I didn't want to pressure him so I waited around for 2 years so my patience is very thin to say the least.)  Meanwhile everywhere I turn someone I know becomes pregnant.  I don't like to complain to everyone so I really only talk to my mom and my sister.  Today my mom told me that she has had it and that I need to stop talking about it.  I am devastated because I need to vent about it and no one understands.  My mom had 3 pregnancies-- none of which were planned. My twin sister got pregnant on her first try.  NO ONE understands!!! Please tell me there are other women out there that feel completely desperate to become pregnant and feels like a crazy person that does nothing but complain every month.  I am trying so hard to be positive but I feel so alone.  I want to be hopeful but every month is harder and harder.

    Definitely understand. That's how my mom & SIL are. Are you guys charting? If not, I suggest using Fertility Friend & taking their free courses. Also, you can read Taking Charge of Your Fertility. GL & you're not alone!

  • Yeah, I'm charting and have been using OPKs for 5 months. I have done so much reading and feel like I could practically be an OBGYN lol.  I have learned things that I thought I'd never know regarding the way my body works.  I will def be looking into those free courses and I so appreciate your suggestions and reply.  It is so great to know I am not alone. GL to you too :) 
  • Welcome. This is a great place to learn! Once it has been a full year of trying, you should be able to see your doctor about some preliminary testing. Good luck!

  • You're in the right place....a lot of us have felt this way one time or another, or have unsupportive loved ones that just don't get it.  Sorry your mom is making you feel that way; lurk on this board and you'll get a sense of the steps that many of us that have been trying for awhile are taking/have taken - you're not alone.

     GL and welcome

  • I'm sorry that your mom isn't being supportive, but this forum is a great place to get support and feel like you are not alone in how you are feeling. 

    Yes, I can understand where you are coming from, I was ready to TTC 2 years ago, but unfortunately the timing wasn't right. I am trying to be patient, but it is hard. 

     

    Best of luck to you!
