Q: Impatiently Waiting

I apologize in advance this may be a long post...

Dh and I have been ttv for over a year and a half and no luck. We are both under 30 and in decent health. I know this stress is starting to effect me and I often wonder what is wrong with me. It seems funny that you notice more pregnant people or babies when you want one so badly.

I have finaly given into my fears and made an appointment with my gyno to discuss testing options to see if there is in fact something wrong with me. In the mean time (could not get in for 2 months) we decided to start taking ovulex and after a month no luck. I have pulled as much pressure off of our love making and I believe that the ovulex has increased my sex drive. The funny thing is that lately I have been afraid of becoming a parent even though it is what I want. I am just nervous about the unknown and what we will have to give up... I know it is counterproductive thinking and this is realy more of a vent than a question, but I realy do not have anyone else to speak to about this. Our friends do not have or do not want children so my plight falls of def ears. Heck I have even had a few friends hint that once we have a child I will not see them anymore since they hate kids... That realy makes me sad..

Hey assena... My husband and I have been ttc for about 8 months now... I am 26 and my husband is 30... Like you I have never noticed soooo many pregnant women in my life.... And I am not fond of the green colour I turn everytime I see one... I am going to try for a few more months before seeking my docs help... Hopefully it won't be necessary.... I have been taking a good multi... Along with dong-quai and vitex daily... I can totally understand what you are going through....It is so hard not to get stressed about something this important... As for your friends.... Do what is right for you and your future family... If they don't like kids... Then they are choosing to end your friendship... Not the other way around.... We only have one life... No dress rehearsals... Baby dust to you...

Lizzie you are right we only have one life and I think that my friends will come arround when the time comes. They seem to be concerned that I will disappear once we have children. Sorry not like that. They may not see me as often, but I am not about to leave friends I have had for more than half my life. We will just have to find a comprimise when my family expands.
