Thank you Lindsay for this great article. Same thoughts and feelings. Sometimes i feel like shutting my social media accounts so that i wont feel bad whenever i see people getting pregnant or giving birth. Maybe it is not yet time. We have to wait and still hope.

Lindsay,

Big hugs to you and your hubby. Thank you for sharing your story. Like you I am a very private person and I totally understand your struggle. I am in the same boat and have gone through 1 IUI and 3 IVF’s. All failed. I am lucky enough to have a friend to talk to about it although she was successful her first round. So understanding my frustration I think is difficult at times. Staying positive is easier said than done. It will happen just not on your time frame. That’s at least what people tell me. Stay positive and sending lots of baby dust your way!

Thank you so much for posting this…I have been having a rough night and like your husband finding you inconsolable, mine found me that way too. I feel my calling in life is to be a Mom. My husband and I have been trying but have had Jo luck in pregnancy either. I feel like I’m alone at times and while I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself I looked up, “trouble getting pregnant”, and found myself reading your blog post. I think this was a sign from God to know that I’m not alone and that things will happen in due time. My husband and I have agreed to stop “trying” and romance it up a little and show each other the love we have for each other because after all, isn’t that how babies are made? Through love? I’ll be praying for you and thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart in knowing that I’m not alone….

What a difference a year makes! When I read this last year it didn’t quite hit me the way it did right now. At this point in my life last year having a baby was not something I was planning for myself. Fast forward a few months and we were ready to try. I had been on birth control for 12 years and I knew things might not go back to normal right away. So here I sit not quite as far as you were in your journey, but I feel the same exact way! I dread people asking because I don’t know if I’ll have kids because I don’t know if I CAN have kids. I am so happy for you that things worked out how they did and it gives me hope that I too will be a mother.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said! This is such a personal pain and such an intrusion by others. Can I just say, we were extremely lucky to have one child, and then I had a hysterectomy at 25. I am now 48 and I STILL feel that pang when I see a pregnant woman, and that longing for babies is still there. I hate going to the gynocologist, not for the obvious reasons, but because I get tears in the waiting room as I see all the young couples with their sonograms, round bellies, or babies in baby-buckets. I am only there to try to manage hormones….it still hurts even though I know that. Ship sailed a longtime ago! Love to you and thanks for being so honest.

A mutual friend sent me your post and like the others’ have said, your words struck close to home. I vividly remember bursting into tears the day my sister called to tell me she was pregnant…I had just made our first appointment at a fertility clinic. Each person’s/couple’s journey is unique, but coming to terms with the possibility of never bearing a child is incredibly personal and painful. We are among the lucky ones now thanks to modern medicine. Our experience has made me more sensitive to asking other “when are you going to have kids” and the like…you just never know if that’s what they want more than anything else in the world.

I wish you strength and perseverance in your journey.
