Home / Community / General TTC (no pregnancy tests!)

still trying...

Tomorrow is my birthday - I'll be 31. My DH and I have been married 4 1/2 years, together over 8. We've been ttc at this point for over a year and nothing.

I've been to the doctor and they did some blood tests but everything came back normal. Now we're at that scary point that we'll need to start more invasive testing to find out what's preventing us from getting pregnant all this time. I'm so upset and frustrated - I just don't understand why my body is betraying me.

My husband is even more upset than I am and each month it doesn't happen I can see the disappointment in his eyes. He is very supportive, but I hate feeling like I'm disappointing him. For years I put off trying to get pregnant, even though my DH wanted to start, so I could focus on my career and now I feel guilty.

I'm not sure why I'm posting this aside from hoping that sharing some of this frustration and sadness will give me a little peace as I approach this week, this new year of my life, sucking it up and continuing to have hope that maybe this month will be the month.

Love and baby dust to all ❤️
