Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

I have more concerns.

I'm married for 3 & 1/2 years now. All my cousins & friends who got married with me & after me are either pregnant or have a child. I feel very bad. I had D & C once last year. Now it is taken me lot of time to conceive. Me & my hubby both are very upset. My periods have also become irregular. We want a baby very badly. Please please suggest what can I do?

We get more Upset whenever we hear someone is pregnant or delivered a child. Actually I should be happy for them, but I start thinking why it is taking us so long. We want child very badly. Please help. Every one keeps asking me when r u going to have baby. I feel ashamed to tell that I'm married for 3 yrs & still do not have a baby. We r trying very religiously evey alternate days but no luck. My last period was on 11th july. I took pregnancy test twice after 15 days gap but it was -ve. I still have not got my periods either. My stomach also grows when I miss my period, but have no other signs of pregnancy. wannabparents replied. Hi Adika,
I can understand what u r going thru' I am in the same situation. we also got married 3-1/2 yrs back, trying from jul-03. I got pregnant in jun04 and had miscarriage in 7th week followed by d&c. here i am sitting and wanting to have a baby as soon as possible. I really don't know what I should say that is going to convince and console u. I just want to send a reply saying u r not alone. there r so many ladies here who r longing to have a baby.
I am going thru' the same frustration like u. when I see/hear someone is pregnant or had a baby recently, I really feel happy for them, but at the same time my pregnancy comes and goes as a flash. All I want to say is just hang in there. we are here for u to talk to. please don't stress yourself. Good luck.
