My husband and I started trying for a baby last May and tried for 5 months without success.
Since then, I have been having a lot of problems with my knee, to the extent that I cannot stand for long or walk very far so have had to put TTC on hold whilst trying physio and I may potentially have to have surgery in a few months time. Even that isn't guaranteed to work and so I feel very frustrated as I am 30 and in every other way my husband and I are so ready to try for a baby!
Pregnancy would be likely to make my knee problems worse (due to the extra weight and the release of the hormone relaxin which relaxes your ligaments etc) and I don't want my knee to be giving way when I'm pregnant and I want to be able to take care of my baby properly-hence needing to wait.
I just feel so frustrated because I don't know when (or even if) my knee will get better and I desperately want to have children.
Just wondered whether anyone is in a similar situation or has been in the past?
