I know you didn't ask for advice, and I don't know your history, so forgive me if I am stepping over the line here. But given your age and that you have been trying for a year (when you say you have been trying for a year but your H hasn't, I assume that means you've been having unprotected sex for a year now?), I would think seriously about seeing a doctor sooner rather than later if medical intervention is something you want to pursue.
Thanks. It's not something I want to pursue. I feel like it would be a rabbit hole of despair for me. Â If we didn't have DS, I would consider it. Â
I won't go into my whole story, but seeking medical intervention with TTC was something I was very resistant to for far too long. Once I finally went and had blood tests done and DH had a sperm analysis done (after more than one year of TTC in my late 30s), it was so freeing to actually have information and feel like I wasn't in the dark anymore. It still wasn't easy, but was better than going through the highs and lows of hoping every month would be "my month" and wondering about why it might not be.
Anyway, I'm sorry you're going through this. TTC can be so emotionally draining.
Just wanted to offer hugs and support, cricket. You always seem really sweet. I hope you get lucky soon. Crying is perfectly ok.
Calling me sweet made me cry, lol.
When you posted your BFP, I was hoping we'd be pregnancy twins. Maybe I'll be pregnancy twins with someone else.
Awww honey, haha
Crying is such a good release sometimes, there's just no other fix for what ails you, IMO. I'm sad to hear we won't be pregnancy twins either. That would've been lovely. (heart)
Hugs, I know its hard. I am on month 5 or 6 or trying. Month 2 of really trying. I do second what anna7602 said - I consulted with an naturopath last month and she sent me for blood work. It turns out that I do have some thyroid issues and maybe progesterone so at least I have something to work with now. Maybe go that route if you don't want the whole RE/fertility clinic thing?
Out of my 12 mom friends with babies the same age as DD, 7 are now pregnant and I'm already feeling myself make excuses to avoid hanging out with them etc. I hate that I feel like that.
Hugs...I do second what anna7602 said though its worth at least getting testing done. I went thru it here and my RE is amazing if you want a rec let me know.
