When my husband and I started talking about having a second child, we never thought we would still be attempting to conceive 6 years later. I knew I wouldn’t get pregnant as soon as I stopped taking birth control pills, however, I didn’t think it would take over 6 years to conceive.
At this point in my life, I start to doubt if I will become a mom for the second time. As I get older, I know it will be harder to conceive and to be honest, it has caused some depression on my end.
With my baby clock ticking and knowing that the older I get, the harder time I will have to conceive has my husband and I turning to over the counter fertility supplements. I have been taking them for about 5 months now, and still no luck. We decided to also start my husband on them, I know if it’s meant to be it will be.
However, it doesn’t make things easier. If you’ve ever battled fertility issues you know how depressing not getting a positive pregnancy test can be. I still have yet to find that one product that will help make my dreams a reality. I am hoping with time and taking supplements my husband and I can share that we’re expecting.
I know that it’s very possible we won’t be blessed with another child and to be honest, I don’t know how I feel about that. I do know I am happy to have a healthy daughter, and I know it’s probably selfish of me to want another child.
How many of you have had fertility issues? What were somethings you have done to make conceiving possible? I am to the point where I will try just about anything…
About Jammie Morey
(((JAMMIE))) I never had trouble any trouble conceiving; then again, I opted for only 1 child. One thing I always hear, though, is that the man needs to wear loose-fitting underwear – boxers instead of briefs. It seems that “the boys” are more fertile when they are kept in a cooler environment. Another thing I heard is to wait a month before “doing anything”, if your husband can wait that long. I heard that helps to bring about a more forceful and productive…..well, you know, it’s more forceful. You know what I mean! Good luck, praying for you!
Thank you Sandy, we have been doing everything possible. Hopefully soon!
