Am I the only person who feel bitter, jealous, or angry when someone says “we have been trying for so long and it finally happened for us” and then they go on to say “we have been trying for 8 months. I know what infertility feels like.” Girl I’m sorry for your struggle and that it took you 8 months to conceive. And I have no doubt that you have an idea of what it feels like. I do not want to diminish you feelings or what you have been through, but you have no idea how I feel. I have been trying for 10 years. I am nearing the dreaded 35. All of my cousins have children that are having children at this point. I then also feel bad for feeling this way. Am I a bad person?? Am I alone in this? Someone please let me know
I just had my first at 35 after 8 years of infertility and loss via IVF. Technically , infertility is defined as not being able to conceive after 1 year of trying under 30 and 6 months over 30, but the more time that passes the easier it is to be discouraged. I would have been thrilled to get pregnant after 8 months 😅. Do you have any answers about the cause of your infertility ? @jcschafer16, If it happened for me, I believe it can happen for you too ! 🙏🏾🙌🏽
