Just curious who here had their first child(ren) without any knowledge of fertility issues?
It is a weird feeling sometimes - wondering if DD was a miracle of sorts and then also dealing with how people react.
I have had people respond to me telling them we are having issues with - well you have DD?! How can you be having issues?!
::facepalm::
Yes, I realize we have one child and were not aware of any issues back then. Does that somehow make our struggle less worthy? I realize it sucks whether you knew about fertility issues before your first - but this just makes it feel unreal at times....

Yea - having people (strangers, especially) all up in your personal business is the worst.
@freakyfast - my DH has started to get more emotional afterwards when people ask him about it. This is something somewhat new for him, but obviously shows that this has started to wear on him, especially since finding out we have some MFI issues going on.
@Mrs Castillo - Not being able to find an answer must be so hard - I'm sorry.

You said everything I was going to say... AMEN SISTER! AMEN!!
The comments always floor me. You guys have heard them all. What kills me lately is with all of my tummy issues. Everyone has asked, "are you sure you're not pregnant?" OMG yes. I am sure I am not pregnant. It's been 3 years with no explanation for the 2IF. I am 100% sure I am not pregnant. If it were morning sickness, I'd be shouting from the rooftops, not bitching about the pain.
I'm so over 2IF. I wish there was a way I could destroy it. Just crush it and stomp on it and beat it to a pulp. It's a haunting beast.
I hate when people ask when we're going to have another baby. Something like, "we're hoping someday soon," spills out of my mouth, but I feel like the hurt on my face probably speaks louder than my words.
