hi everyone,
it is amazing to hear everyone's stories. I am 31 and dh is 37 and we have a 3 year old dd and have been trying to conceive again for close to 2 years. I really thought we were the only ones struggling and once you had one child, there would be no problem with another. I did 4 rounds of clomid and did not conceive, I have been trying the natural route, taking herbs and vitamins recommended by a herbalist for the last 3 months, nothing has improved. I have some dry-pre-menstrual bleeding every month varying from 2 to 6 days long. I ovulate according to the opks and the gynae that I saw previously. my infertility is unexplained, no polyps, etc. my husband checks out too.
reading the woman's story below, really strikes my heart. it struck me at my daughter's birthday party, that i too was the only one with only one child. Everyone had at least 2 or one on the way. My sister is pregnant with her first and though i am delighted for her, I am jealous of her growing bump. but I too can forgive someone for having their first, I am fiercely angry with anyone who gets pregnant with their second! terrible i know!
I would just like to say to the woman with the 7 year old, that she should not despair, but really and truly sit down and count her blessings. this is not meant to be patronising, it really will help you. you are healthy and have a wonderful child and are living in a country where you can get help. I do this every day and it keeps me going. good luck everyone, good vibes going out to you all, i know how you feel.
