Background: I have a small group of friends and they know that we are TTC and are struggling. Another friend of mine recently had a baby, another is “not trying/not preventing” baby number 1. She isn’t super serious about having kids yet, but wants them eventually.

I am struggling emotionally. I am already a mom, but I’ve got baby fever...bad. We’ve been seriously trying for a year, seeing specialists, getting tests, getting poked and prodded every single month.

The subject of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> got brought up and my friend who doesn’t have kids said “if I had too, I’d go that route. However, if I already had even one child, I’d never consider it...it wouldnt be a big deal because I would already be a mom”

I’ve been thinking about that statement a lot since she said it. I don’t get easily offended, but this one hit me deeper. TTC is a big part of my life right now, it’s something my husband and I both want very much. My body isn’t cooperating and I’m struggling with it. As a mom already, I can’t stay it’s any less stressful that I already have children. It makes me want to complete my family more. It took almost 3 years to conceive my first son, so I completely understand how it feels to not even have kids and to struggle.

I don’t know, it’s just a different perspective and I needed to get it off my chest. Maybe someone will relate.
