Nobody understands

I am new to this site and thought I would just lay my feelings down.

I was diagnosed at 20, now 35 and having had successful treatment to have one child who is now 5 thought it would be easy the second time around. I was told it would be.

My hubby and I have been trying this time for 2yrs and no luck, I just don't think anyone understands how hard it is to keep smiling. Our friends are very understanding but family aren't. A cousin had a baby a few weeks ago and I just can't bring myself to see him. Has anyone else had similar feelings???

Any thoughts on my situation would be grateful to receive.

I am 30 and have a 2.5 year old daughter.

I can sort of relate. Because even though we are not TTC, we are stuck in the process of...

"Do we really want another one? I'm not getting younger and I don't need my age adding to my problems... PCOS is enough!"

"If we decide we want another one, shouldn't we get going? It may take a while TTCing!"

"And if it takes a while with TTCing, how old does #1 have to be before we call it quits and give the idea up?"

Not easy questions. Part of my problem in making up my mind about answers is that emotional roller coaster... I remember it from the last time we were TTC and it's terrible. Esp. with other people asking nosy things. They aren't actively trying to be mean, but that's just it. It's thoughtless comments. And they can hurt.

Hang in there.

Welcome here! You're not alone: many women on this site experience similar situations. I have tried for 4 years to conceive, but to no avail.

I totally get what your saying my fiance and I have been TTCing for 3 years although we are not on Clomid yet I take 2000mg of Metformin daily along with EPO & vit B complex and trying to diet and exercise, it is heart crushing when I hear of a pregnancy esp amongst family members, when my sister-in-law fell pregnant 2.5yrs ago it took me ages after they brought him home before I was emotionally strong enough to go visit, I was happy for her but heart broken that it wasn't me..... we are still not pregnant but I know my luck will change one day, surely having PCOS is punishment enough!

Good Luck
