Hi all- this is my first post here so may be long so sorry!
Me and my hubby have been married since 2010 and trying to get pregnant since we got married. I was on depo for years and took a year to get a period but we were casually trying so wasn't too bad. In 2012 we got serious and still nothing happened. In 2013 we were referred to fertility specialist but I got pregnant (hurrah) but had a misses miscarriage (aug) at 10 weeks which was devastating for us both (d and c).
In Nov I had another miscarriage and it was natural and didn't feel as bad (6 weeks) but was still very upsetting.
Anyway to the point, hub is 34 and I'm 29 and were desperate to have our own family, we don't go out drinking and spend a lot of time visiting friends (all with kids) and watching films. My hub has recently cut out a lot of foods to try and reduce pain in his side (?IBS) and he is stressed at work so even good now is bland and in satisfying as I'm on the diet too.
I recently left my job in child protection because it just was getting to me with the fact that were struggling to get and stay pregnant.
We have discussed our feelings and we feel like we're just on hold until we get a healthy baby, we're not particularly enjoying our life as were waiting.... Waiting for a 3rd mc to get tests done or just waiting to get pregnant and hold our much wanted child.
It's so so hard.
I'm starting a new job soon in customer service which is great but I'm just do desperate for our baby!
I feel like things are just so unfair and it's affecting our relationship now. The diet hasn't helped because we used to love our food and go out for meals but we can't even do that now!
We have no family and hub works so hard in his job, I'm doing my best to be a good housewife but I just feel so sad all the time.
Just wondered if anyone is or has been going through something similar.
I know people say 'at least you can get pregnant' but that's no use if I keep losing my babies!!
I know we're young but I'm worried we will be left behind and all our friends kids will be older by time we have ours.
I also worry that were bored just waiting for our baby that when we get it (and if) we still will be in this place?!!
Just feeling lost.
Sorry for long post with no punctuation!!!
 
Sorry to hear u have been through so much hun, me and hubby took over two yrs and a lap n dye open before I fell pg. It was so hard seeing everyone fall pg n have babies so u know how u feel. I also felt like we were just waiting to have our baby, but I tried to make sure we had things to look forward to like a holiday or night away, even cinema trip or just a walk and time to ourselves.

We now have a 2wk Old boy who is the love of my life it can happen hun don't give up hope.

I totally understand your frustration and whilst you could probably thump anyone who says 'it will happen' - it will! My story is similar, trying for 2 years, MMC and I gave up a job working with homeless families as it was breaking my heart. Fertility tests showed my husband had a low sperm count and we were devastated. However, we kept on trying, made sure we had things to look forward to and made sure we were open with each other. Other people stressed me out as they expected us to have a child soon after getting married as I'm 35 and DH 41 and kept saying 'are you going to have kids?' etc. It did happen eventually and our son is now 7 weeks old.

Stress can be a factor so try and focus on other things like your new job - you are young enough that there is no age related urgency so whilst it's so hard, enjoy your relationship and try and stay positive. Good luck xx.
 
Thanks ladies.
It's nice to know I'm not alone!
I do feel a tiny bit better after the promise of a spa treat together and more physical loves!
I do still feel very tearful though but I'm hoping it passes soon. Xxx
