Ok ladies.....how do yall stay positive month after month.....especially when you have never had children. Its not that I lose hope.....I dont really think thats it....I think I just get sad...wishing I was 3 years younger...then I start the what if game. There is no reason for me not to get pregnant.....Ive been through all the workups and everything is fine....

I have a client that is in her late 50's or early 60's and she could never have children and she is so bitter and Im terrified that will be me in a few years......anyone else feel that way?

How many of yall beat yourself up every month? Like you feel less than a woman? Your not good enough...you let your husband down, your family..... blah blah blah.....

You never hear about ordinary women having issues getting pregnant.....how it makes you feel ....just the ones that are lucky enough to be able to afford IVF or adoption.....just happy endings....Id like to see how women cope....how they feel about thereselves... ....how there friends and family react...how they deal with everything.....

ok...im done.....I think Im PMSing and everything is bothering me....Im sorry if this is too heavy.....I just have these thoughts bouncing around in my head.....more than usual...

thanks for being my "therapist" ha ha

Aw, Sarah. It's hard. Especially if you have not yet had a child. The what if's can't change a thing, so don't beat yourself up. God has a plan... we just don't know exactly what it is yet. Just know that you are doing what you can and the rest is not in your hands. I wish this road were easier for us older gals. But I need to cling to the knowledge that it does happen and it may just happen for me. And you!

Where did I come from?" the baby asked its mother. She answered, half-crying, half-laughing, and clasping the baby to her breast: "You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling. You were in the dolls of all my childhood games. In all my hopes and my loves, in my life, in the life of my mother, and in her mother before her, you have lived."
