RANT!!!
My husband and I have been TTC for a year and 7ish months. We're 22 & 24. I recently found out i have an abnormal uterus and there's a good chance I may not be able to conceive on my own.
My dad and step-mother are ALSO TTC, he's 48 and she's 32. She has one child (6) from a previous relationship.
This past weekend I told them about my most recent test results (about my abnormal uterus) and that my doctor feels IVF will be our next step. Step-mother TWICE told me "you're still young" & "you have lots of time" as in time could change things. Except that's false, the older I get the less likely I am to carry children without medical assistance.
I'm so IRRITATED about this 😡 I can't stop hearing those words in my head. Not to mention I feel like she's in competition with me to get pregnant first because every time my journey is brought up, the conversation always ends up about her. I wish I never told them. I wish I had never told anyone because I'm tired of being asked about it. I'm sick of crying and being let down month after month just to not be taken serious. 😭
