This is their FIRST month trying for their 2nd. FIRST month?!?!
We are going on our 4th, (I know, that's not very long) and it feels like it's been 2 years since we started.
A lot of my friends are pregnant and it just kills me. I've wanted a baby as long as I can remember. That's the only thing I've KNOWN that I've wanted my whole life.
I'm 28, not old but also not young and the older I get, the harder it's going to be to get pregnant.
I know that my time will come (hopefully) when it's the right time but geez, I've done everything right with preventing it when I shouldn't have gotten pregnant or couldn't provide for a child and now that I can, I can't get pregnant.
WHAT GIVES!?!?!?!
It is funny/sad how hard we try to prevent pregnancy, and how quickly it changes to wanting it so bad. We're not trying yet, but I get what you're saying. I think I read somewhere that the average amount of time it takes to get pregnant is 6 months of trying. So you're still in the range of normal! Hang in there, your time will come!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it'd be longer than 6 months but geez, I just want it to happen. It's truly a mirage when it happens...everything has to happen at the exact right moment! Thanks, Julie! :-)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand. And it's not like you're mad or angry, your happy for them, it's just insanely frustrating (for me, I know a lot of people don't get that). And then you see stupid shows like 16 and pregnant, and it's like really? THEY can get pregnant but I can't? It's a tough road, but I have to believe it'll all be worth it. My mom told me something, that I truly believe- my sister and I are 8 years apart in age, and my mom lost several pregnancies in between, and in the end she told me, we were just waiting for the right soul to join our family (and that's my sister, she takes her sweet time, but is always worth it).
ReplyDeleteHope that's not like to mushy or whatever =) It'll happen for you, I know it!
awww, Jenn, that actually got me teary eyed! haha Thank you for that! it's a good way to put it!
ReplyDeleteIt took us 4 months to get pregnant, and it felt like forever - but the doctors all said "that was quick!". So try not to let it stress you out - it'll happen!
ReplyDeleteI remember feeling like this around the same time. Totally blows. The average is between 4-6 months for our age group. I hope that you guys don't have to try as long as we did. I wouldn't wish unexplained infertility on anyone!
ReplyDeleteYay, I found your blog! It's very cute! I am so sorry that you are having this trial! Try not to stress too much (easier said than done, I know)....and don't run any pregnant women over! lol jk! (Chris' aunt said that when she couldn't get pregnant she wanted to hit every pregnant lady she saw walking down the street.) hahah
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how'd you do that signature? :)
ReplyDeletehaha Andrea, that's funny! I wouldn't run anyone over. I actually want to rub their bellies all the time. I can't help but stare at them!
