To want to get pregnant and feel a pang of sadness when I hear pregnancy announcements?

I am 39. We have an almost two year old. DP has two older children. We have agreed not to try, but not to not try… But I really want to get pregnant and for DC to have a younger sibling!

If you're having sex and not using contraception, you're 'trying'. Hope all goes well for you!

Thank you! I am afraid it won’t happen but keeping a little hope.

Maybe just try not to try a little harder?
