Another Month Wasted...its getting harder and harder

[donna101]

A little low-down: I'm 26 soon to be 27 my other half is 35 he has three children from a previous relation ship and has bought those children up on his since the youngest was 18mths they are now 14, 10, & 9... we both work full time, I run the house and look after the children we want to have a baby of our own and have been trying for 8mths, I came off the pill and we've just really been going with the flow... theres been no pressure but I am so desperate to have a baby when every month passes I get so upset...Its all starting to get to me really the house, children, work constant cycle...when am I going to get a break!!

No one can answer that hun, you are not alone, alot of people have been trying for a long time, and feel exactly the same each month it doesn't happen. Do not give up and (I know its hard) but try not to let it take over your life.

thats the key isn't it... its so bloody hard though I feel for everyone who is in the same position...

It is hard, but it can be done I promise, Took me over 4 years to get pregnant with my DD, and I am currently in my 21-22nd month of trying for #2, this is the first month I have actually done it, I have actually stopped counting, symptom spotting, I decided last month if it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't, I can't be bothered with it anymore, life is to short for all the heartache and stress that goes hand in hand with TTC.
I know it seems easy for me to say already having one child, but believe me it has not been easy to do, and tbh with it taking so long to get pregnant the first time, I kind of new deep down in my heart, that it would be unlikely for me to get pregnant again, just wish now I had listened to my heart, I could ahve saved myself a lot of heartache.

Good luck
