Worried I'm Not Enough

Kelle

My husband (40) and I (32) have been together almost 6 years (married almost 2). We have always wanted kids, but were not ready to start trying until November 2018. I went off bc at the beginning of November and have been tracking since.

I thought that after a few cycles I'd be pregnant, but here we are on cycle #7 (not counting the first cycle I had that started the week after I went off bc) and still nothing. My cycles are extremely regular and I know I am ovulating (OPKs and temping). My husband read somewhere that it can take up to 1 year for bc to get out of your system, and has tried to make me feel better with this, but I explained to him that if I am having regular cycles and confirmed ovulation, then there are no lingering side effects from bc that are preventing pregnancy.

I have been really depressed lately because I'm scared that there is something wrong with me and that I am infertile. I am afraid if I can't give my husband children that he will leave me and find someone who can. He was married before and the main reason that marriage ended is because his ex-wife decided that she no longer wanted to have children and that was a dealbreaker for him.

He is the love of my life and I don't know what I would do without him. The thought of losing him terrifies me. 😢
