I'm 31 and we have only been trying to get pregnant for a year. After 3 months we were pregnant, and the joy was just undescribable. But 3 days after the positive test it went already wrong, I had to be taken to hospital with a suspected ectopic pregnancy. It was never 100% sure, but the pregnancy ended there. Ever since we have been trying again, with no success and I also feel utterly low and beaten when I have my period again, after doing all we can every cycle. I have been tested on blocked tubes and they seemed fine, my partner has normal semen, so it should just happen by itself. ALL my friends were pregnant within a few months, most in the first month of trying and they all have babies now or a huge bump. Whenever I go out, I see babies and children; at the markets, shops, down the street.. I feel like you sometimes: why do even the simplest souls get pregnant so easy and we, who want it so much, not so far? I started of very positive and confident but every month that goes by seems to take some of it. Those pregnant friends of course tell me that I should just relax and not think about it (???!!! how do you do that?) and trust that it will happen (how do they know?). I am borderlining between tears and feeling powerless and optimistic and hoping it will happen next month. It does make me feel less of a 'real woman'I have to admit, althogh I kn ow how silly this sounds and how untrue it is of course, morally. But there is a difference between argumentating intellectually and feeling deep down. We also though that if we would ever miss our contraception, we would fall pregnant accidentally, and it is difficult to come to terms with the fact that we actually aren't. Hope you have good news soon, I am thinking of you and can imagine you are feeling the strains much more than me, as you are older and trying longer. Hi,
