I am almost 35 and have been TTC no2 for 9 months. I'm now waiting for the results of a blood test to see if I'm ovulating.
Last night a friend told me she was pregnant with her second child. All around me women I know have managed to conceive their 2nd child exactly as planned. Not one of them has experienced any delay. This includes women who have waited four years so that first child is in school when 2nd arrives and those who have had two children with the regulation two year gap.
DP feels that there's no point dwelling on an issue and worrying when everything (usually) works itself out in the end. I didn't sleep last night and have been tearful ever since hearing about this latest pregnancy. I'm angry that DP can't put his arms around me and simply listen to how I feel.
I'm tired of relentlessly TTC, of hiding my feelings and of congratulating others on their 2nd/3rd pregnancies.
Ok rant over! I am aware that I am incredibly fortunate to already have a healthy DC. I just didn't think I could hurt so much for something that I didn't know I wanted until recently. I guess I'm also worried about the blood test results and how DP will/won't support me emotionally if there's a problem.
