You have to watch women around you get pregnant, have babies, and you still are left with nothing. Yes, you're happy for them, but there is that little place inside you that aches for a baby.

Did you ever hear someone say, "Just be patient. It will happen it when you least expect it." Only a woman who is TTC can understand the frustration that comes with this statement.
#2
Whether you know why you can't conceive or merely are struggling with the infertility on your own, there are no words to say; it is just difficult. Especially, when you've tried everything you know to try and still nothing. Sometimes, patience can be a pill to digest.

Post a CommentGreat article. My husband and I currently cannot conceive because of chronic illness and medication.
I understand each of the reasons you've stated as they are all too familiar. I struggled for 11 years to get pregnant. I would do it all over again though because I now have 2 beautiful baby boys, one through IVF, the other through natural conception. I have had the fortunate blessing of finally achieving my dream of becoming a mommy, I know of others who still struggle and my heart goes out to them. Many prayers.
I can't relate, but I can understand how emotionally-draining infertility can be.
