feeling down due to people telling me its time for a baby.

ok....I got a dog:thumbup: and every time I talk about him I say My Baby... and when my MIL sees him I refer to him as her grandchild... she is now calling him that too... HAHAHAHA...and HE IS!!

But I think she finally eased off a bit

Love it :thumbup:

At least she has eased off, hard enough is to try without others adding any preassure.:flower:
 
oh no one knows we are trying...straight off the bat I have been very dismissive about it all with everyone...I have a 20 year old already from a previous marriage and they know we are both over 40 so ....hope to surprise them soon ;-)
 
Oh, I see!

Well lots of :dust::dust::dust: for you then. I hope to see the good news here soon then :flower:

We have not told anyone either, None of us have any children that is why they keep asking. We are not telling anyone we are trying because I dread more questions:wacko: specially when they get a bit too personal and they don´t realise that it hurts talking about it.

Oh they still bug is, but I just give them looks and never answer...or flip it on them HAHAHAHA

I just know how people can be so I have been very "matter of fact" on the subject with all that approach it...or dismiss them. Believe me my 20 YO was not planned at all...this is all VERY new to me
 
Ah, I can relate to that. I have been pregnant before and was unplanned as well, but that turned into a bad experience, that is why it has taken me years to decide to try. I am 36 now and trying for my frist child. Like yourself, it is all new to me.

My OH thinks I have gone all loopy now.:headspin: with my charts, temps, OPK, PK, Forums and a schedule for him for when to :sex: It is funny to see his face with all that :haha:

It is nice to have a 20 year old though and hopefully your :baby: soon

Well during the teen years I would say "no wonder people have one right after the other because after going through teens? oh HELL naw!" HAHAHA

Can't complain, I have a great kid, but I also was a single mom raising her all on my own. I would like to experience a "normal" family life...if that is even possible any more

Yes, my husband also looked at me and said "hmmm I thought people got pregnant all the time? what is all of this planning and scheduling?"...now he understands more cause I have bombarded him with stats, numbers, videos etc... Now we are going through IVF so even the specialist has talked to him...he is paying attention now...and he always wanted kids so he knows we have to do this this way...
 
It is admirable. Raising a child is difficult, even more on your own. But I bet very rewarding when you look at your 20 year old now!

Yes, my OH says the same thing, he thought you just BD and we get pregnant, it is not that easy! as we know here!:wacko:

I migh have to go through IVF myself, I am TTC naturally at the moment, but due to my molar pregnancy when I was 30, IVF might be the way to grant it does not happen again... we will see.

If you don´t mind me asking...have you started your IVF process? If so, I hope you succeed soon! I have 3 friends who had IVF and the result was 3 gorgeous babies... well now between 5 and 10 year olds:winkwink:
IVF scares me a little but hey! I have seen the rewarding results of it :blush:

waiting for my period at the moment so I can begin...yes kind of scary to think of all the injections frankly...especially the ones my hubby will have to give me yuk! but hoping it pays off

How many cycles did it take your friends?
 
One of them (at the age of 30) had a hypersensitive ovary, where she developped far too many eggs, and bloated, they suspended the cycle, and while waiting for the next cycle two of those eggs got fertilised but only one survived and they have a gorgeus 10 year old girl. Ah this one, she conceived naturally just after having her girl, so she has two now.

My other friend Had IVF at the age of 43, on the first cycle 3 eggs implanted, 2 went full term, and they have now two 8 year old girls.

and the third friend at the age of 35 she had 1 baby girl on her second IVF cycle.

Funny I have just realised that the three of them had girls with her IVFs:haha:
 
Oh I hope I do too!!!!

But I think they will only transfer 2 in my case...lets see what happens
 
i hope as well! that you only take one cycle to conceive!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and hoping to hear the good news soon!
 
same to you. hope this baby making business takes off soon for us all ;-)
 
Thanks starsign! Lots of baby dust to you as well!
 
Hi Sus, all, yeah I have this problem as well - from a very pushy family. My 2 YOUNGER sisters have had 6 kids between them, so I am always getting the 'when are you going to...' 'getting a bit late in the day isn't it...' blah blah from all of them. Talking of insensitive mothers, my mother - bless her - told me "you're not woman until you've had a baby!"... uhhh, thanks mother! They don't know about the ttc, so I think she was just trying to persuade me to consider it... but yeah. All a bit hurtful when you're REALLY trying with no result.

Anyway....... very glad of the shared experiences on this site :hugs: to all.
 
For years I used the humorous approach whenever someone asked when we were going to have a baby - I'd tell them that we were very happy with our cat, thank you for asking. But eventually I got fed up enough and started responding with, "If you're not God and you're not my husband, it's none of your damned business." And I really don't care if my response made them uncomfortable, their question made me uncomfortable! Society needs to realize that family planning is a private matter and NOT a suitable topic for small talk. :growlmad:

I agree with you, why is it anyone business? Rather one decide a child or not, or having a difficult time. My cousin get peeved by people asking when she is going to get married. My married friend get peeved when people ask when she is going to have a baby (she made the decision not to for personal reasons)
