Who's still here?

I know how you feel. Girls I went to school with or grew up with are on their 3/4/5th babies. I’ve been married either a similar time or longer & still childless.

Ive been with my husband 14 years and married 4. Most my friends met their husband about 10 years after me....got married 2 years later and then popped out 3 babies ..while I am still here trying .

I am so so so so so angry with my body becuas e its hiding the reason. If I k ew what the reason was I think I would find it easier to understand
 
I’m not sure having a reason helps really. I know the reason (PCOS) and I am still angry. I am so angry because I just don’t respond to any treatment. Other girls with PCOS (not all) seem to be able to fall pregnant quite easily but yet I have to be the one sitting here after so long.

It’s not fair. The world just isn’t fair.
 
hi all...I'm still here - on the run up to year 5 now - and like Alexis will be celebrating my 35th birthday soon, not what I expected at all. I said to my oh the other day that I just wanted this one to pass by without a big hooha because the reminder that '35' is when everyone says your chances get less just doesn't need to be celebrated for me! I'll celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary the next week instead - because a marriage that is still solid after all this shit is definitely worth celebrating!

Millie, just wanted to say I think of you often and I still have good feelings for you - in some ways maybe it's good that you've given up, sometimes that's when things happen unexpectedly. I know to you that sounds laughable but I truly hope I see a post on here soon that you have your bfp and you're totally surprised by it, that would be amazing x

As an aside - Last week we found out that one of my oh's friends and his girlfriend are pregnant...he's known her less than a year and she's 12 weeks... our friend then casually text my oh and said 'yeh they've been trying for a while' - its quick maths guys, if she's already 3 months, there's 12 months in a year and they will have had to have known each other a couple of months at least before making the decision....oh I guess that means they were trying 6-7 months...wow, yeah, such a long time!! Sometimes friends can be dicks...especially the thoughtless male ones! I really feel for my oh sometimes when his friends say shit like that to him...little rant! Sorry all! haha xx
 
Also, still here after nearly 2 years. It’s scary cos I always felt like I knew ttc wouldn’t be easy for me and I don’t know why. I find it very hard to believe it will happen now. But then again, I am on cycle day 1 today!

I know it’s only a years difference, but my fertility doctor said it’s 36 when its generally said that it starts to decline - but he said that’s not to mean you have no hope once you reach that age!

I’m 32 and started trying at 30. If I’d have met my husband a few years earlier and got married earlier then I would have started trying at younger age, as all I’ve ever wanted out of life is to have a lovely husband (tick!) and to be a mummy (still waiting on that tick, instead I have period cramps :roll:) But life never goes the way you plan it and I suppose we just have to take it as it is and make the best of what we have. This time last month I cried my eyes out for 2 days straight and then again on and off for the next couple of weeks. But no more, I can’t waste my life feeling that way and I’m just trying to enjoy the little things in life and appreciate what I have got. And have a little cry when I need to so that it doesn’t come out in one big meltdown again :lol:
 
I'm due AF today as well. At the moment, I've just got dark brown stuff (urgh, PCOS!).

My friend has just got pregnant at 41 so I don't think you should worry too much about age (easier said than done, I know - especially as I'm 34!). My DH thinks he's too old at 40 too and that's why he is really struggling atm.
 
I’m 29 this weekend and always wanted kids a lot younger.. 3 used to be my ideal but After so long trying is be so thankful for just 1. feel like time is just ticking away.

Ovulation approaching again I guess..
been doing the digi opks
Really not sure the point is
 
Same here Millie. 25 was my age for a baby but we decided at 20 to come off the pill and see what happened...nothing. Literally nothing happened! Now I’m 28 and telling hubby that twins would be our best shot of having 2.
 
I know how you all feel ladies!

Im still here too! (On and off, hard to keep trying when you only get a period once or twice a year)

6years and not even a wiff off a line.

We haven't long passed the six year mark.

Its so hard, big hugs to you all xxxxxxx
 
Happy birthday to me... not.
Thankfully I’m only a few days past ovulation so no AF to remind me I can’t get/stay pregnant.

Wondering if we’ll ever have our baby by 30.


I’ve become the worst at taking any vitamins, yes even skipping folic acid.. just haven’t been bothering to take anything at all since May. Can’t seem to get back in that routine. I’m just scared I’m going to get to into the ttc again, like knowing my CD, noticing CM, counting DPO.. all those dumb things I’ve managed to switch off from.

I am the same ...stopped taking folic acid for a while now and all my ither vitamins ...what's the point when it hasn't worked for almost 2 years now. I am going to start back on a few vitamins for next month starting IVF process but I have completely given up now.
 
I'm here...

Wanted to go through all the posts but to be honest it's depressing enough as it is.

Anyway, glad to see some familiar faces, just wish we weren't all on the same stinking boat. I WANNA GET OFF ALREADY:brat::brat::brat::brat:

AF due any day now - we're 2 yrs and counting. I can't believe we're that far gone already. The last few months I've been feeling more and more reluctant to 'want to be' pregnant. Almost like I'm throwing the proverbial middle finger. I mean, what else can I do?

We're not even going to go down the IVF road. It's too expensive and medical insurance doesn't cover it. They didn't even cover the procedure that DH had to increase his sperm production, they said it was for fertility so they aren't paying. Guess it's not a basic human right to want to be parents anymore. Sighs. Anyway, sorry, I'm being all glum.

Bright side is.......is...........................is............?
 
I’m also sadly still here. Despite being 80% sure that I was getting off the roundabout this cycle
 
I’m still here!

TTC since September 2016. Feeling rather anxious and sad today, I’m CD25 and dreading that feeling when the hope disappears for the month.
