Discouraged
So many news stories lately have covered the unlikelihood of someone over 30 becoming pregnant. I guess they're just saying how much your chances drop in getting pregnant.
Now this is crazy to me because I know so many women, friends, family, co-workers who have had plenty of babies in their 30's and even 40's. These examples are the underlying hope I remain for my own pregnancy one day. I've always tried to stay positive and believing it will happen in perfect timing.
But I can't help but be discouraged. I'm 35, never had a scare. Never on birth control. My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years. He has two boys that I love as my own. I still desire to be a mother. It's depressing. I feel like I have no one to talk to about it. I avoid the topics, but inside I crumble when someone asks me about having babies. I don't know why, but I have this huge gut-wrenching feeling, it's just not going to happen. Feeling down in the dumps.
