WARNING: Feeling very sorry for myself!

With dd1 and dd2 we fell second month of trying. With both miscarriages with fell the first month of trying. I'm 36 years old and this is month 2. I thought that all I had to worry about was keeping little one. Now I've gotta have to worry that I'm past it? Just want to say bugger and go kick somein!

Somewhere inside I knew it wouldn't be easy this time round (not that it was with 1 and 2 as both pregnancies that were succussful were hard work) but I soooo wanted more. My gp tells me I'm being selfish. Am I? I could get sooo caught up in a) falling pregnant and then b) carrying to term that it could hurt my girls. Am I stupid/selfish to want more? They're so wonderful, I'm so stunned by them, I just want to keep going.

Like I said, 3 glasses of wine (cos it doesn't really matter at the mo now!) I don't suppose I'm being terribly rational

Sorry.

you are not selfish just impatient!! It can take time and 36 is no age to worry about switch of about expecting to get pregnant when you did with DDs and just enjoy it...

You're right but... I'm a natural born worrier. but that doesn't mean I like worrying.

Sorry you are feeling like that, I'm a bit younger than you but I would consider myself 100 times more fertile than I am, if I only could have regular cycles as the ones you seem to have

What exactly do you mean by "carrying to term that it could hurt my girls" ?

jam3 · 11/09/2005 07:16

how out of order for the gp to say that what w a .........!

You should have as many as you feel you can provide for, also you are very lucky to have the 2 you have.I am sure you know this!

36 is NOT too old at all

good luck and chin up!x

Thanks guys. To explain the carrying to term phrase. What I meant was that a cycle of trying to fall pregnant and then miscarrying could make me a very depressed/manic person which wouldn't be fair on my two girls. That's what I worry about. At the same time to drive to want more is soooo great! My kids are wonderful - why not want more!
