Feeling down
Hello everyone,
My husband and I have been together for 5 years and married 7 months now. Now that we're married all our family and friends keep asking either "when are y'all gonna have some babies" or "wow you've been together that long and you still don't have any kids". We never actually tried to prevent pregnancy, we loved the idea of having a family together. We both really really love kids. My husband is absolutely amazing with children.
This past year we've been really trying to have a baby, using apps, taking temps, the whole 9. But still there's Aunt Flo every month. I've been feeling very depressed lately because it's seems like now a lot of my coworkers, family members, and friends are now pregnant, about to have their babies or just about to have their babies (damn you Facebook lol j/k).
I try to talk to friends and family about this feeling I have, but they don't really understand. Often times they are them main ones questioning me about the fact I don't have children. My husband is a great listener but I feel as though he doesn't fully understand either, although he tries.
I just would like to know if anyone else feels like this or am I crazy. There are times I don't feel like doing anything, just lay in bed. Other times I feel like I'm letting so many people down. There's this strong weight on my shoulders.
