Question

Can't take this anymore--first time I've ever considered quitting TTC. Anyone else feel like this?

I can't do this anymore. 11 months TTC and I'm so tired of being disappointed. I know many of you have been trying much longer. But I just feel like giving up. Everyone around me is pregnant, most with their 2nd or 3rd child. A couple of them tried for one month, a couple weren't trying at all, and were shocked when they were pregnant. And here I am, doing everything I know to do, and 11 months later, still not pregnant. I'm 30, going on 31. My husband is 32, and we have 100% custody of his 2 sons. So I have 2 non-biological sons. But I feel like no one around me, not even my husband, understands. Even he has biological children. But not me. I know this is a huge pity party, and that is something I NEVER do. But I just feel like if I don't vent, I'm going to lose it. And I figured if anyone would understand my venting, it's you ladies. Thanks for reading, and any input is appreciated at this point. Love and baby dust to you.

Oh my you sound like me!!! The same thing everyone around me is preggo most with oppsies or one night stands some just decide I'm ready and a month later there they are 6 weeks along. It's all bullshit!!!! My husband and I have custody of his 7 year old twins as well. There biological could really care less as long as shes got her liquor. So here I am desperately longing for my own flesh and blood not that I don't completely love his kids and treat them as my own BUT I so know where you are coming from. I have been trying since sept and I haven't even gotten a period or ovulated (until recently possibly) since dec! I don't think my hubby understands either. He has his blood in front of them and I do take very good care of them but they are not my blood and it is a small difference when I desperately want to know what its like to hold them for the first time or hear their first words. Hell you can vent to me anytime!!! I'm good at making others see the positive in things!

I feel the same way and I'm only on my 8th month. I just want to get to the 1 year mark so the doctors will care at least a little bit. I'm sure you're as tired as I am with people telling you "just relax, it will happen"... but then it doesn't. It's a lot of pressure. And I really don't think they understand at all. Just know you aren't alone and good luck!

I know exactly how you feel ... After trying for a year I thought if I look for medical care I would have the answer I was waiting for. Unfortunately I was wrong. We did all exams and everything came out normal and the only person who I thought was able to resolve my problem was unable to say what was wrong with us.. With normal results I decided to give me more time and try again.. So, I got pregnant 2 months late and it ended in a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks.. When I thought my battle and my fears had ended I just saw myself loosing the most precious thing I ever had.. It is very difficult stay positive after all, it is very difficult think that one day I will have this baby in my arms.. I don't know why we have to go through it but I believe in God Mercy and I believe in his time... He showed me that being pregnant is possible and I will never let the thoughts of giving up knock me down.. I know it is really hard see friends becoming preg but if you really believe in God Mercy

Have faith and believe God is love and he will answer your prayers if you ask him... Don't give up :) I wish you strength and you not the only in this difficult and painful journey.. God bless you :) I say it everyday when I pray: " "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You." (Mary Faustina Kowalska)

I am so sorry you are feeling this way right now and I know nothingvI can say will make you feel better:( I do know several people who have been in the exact predicament and as soon as they stopped trying it happened. A couple of them had completely given up and were no longer thinking they would ever have a child. I dint know why or how this happens but I know it does. It may feel like it will never happen but it will! You also are on the younger side which is a benefit. Vent away..we understand! One day you will be holding your baby and all of this will be of no consequence!
