Getting pregnant can be a chore and an emotional roller-coaster. Here is one woman's journey.
If you are a woman who has spent your life imagining what it would be like to have a child, then you know how exciting it is when you finally decide that you are ready to make that leap. You are finally prepared to put yourself second. You are willing to make a child the number one priority in life. You are ready to get pregnant.…

I feel the need to comment to Kate, especially since this website is only thanks to her courage,
Thank you for making me realize the value of life. I promise that I will pray for you with every ounce of strength I have left in me. Some days, I want to die becaue of what I have done. But now, I know that I can use my experiences to help other young women around me make better decisions. I'm sorry that I had the opportunities you haven't...I would do anything to switch places. Happy Holidays and a promising year to come.

its funny that we think we are all alone in this battle. I have been trying to get pregnant for a year now and still no luck. I am a 23yr old and my partner is 26. We are both young, fit and healthy... so why is it so hard? We dont earn enough money to try fertility treatments and my partner gets very defensive when i bring up the topic of "sperm testing" and i am too scared to find out if there is something wrong with me. i know we are young and some of you reading this will probabley shake your heads that we are complaining but i guess my comment is to let you know that at any age infertility is difficult to swallow and its an extremely emotional subject.
To Chloe.. you have nothing to be ashamed about. you were not ready for a child and you did what was right for you at the time. having childrem is a hige responsibility and its all to common that we put others before ourselves when we are the most important person in our lives and have to learn to listen and understand ourselves more before we can understand other human beings. i really wish all the women who are trying desperatly to have a child all the best in the future and i hope that you all gets your wishes granted. its just so good to know we are not alone

First of all, Kate I hope everything worked out for you, and you can now call yourself a mother. Your story touched my heart, and I keep wiping the tears off my face as I type this.
I too am 27, and have been married for 2 years and haven't been able to get pregnant. Crazy as it sounds I have been dreaming of becoming a mother since I was a little girl. I feel frustrated because my husband and I have a home, a car, even two dogs, but I feel like there is something still missing. And my family...Oh! don't even get me started! They always ask when will I be having a child because to them, I am getting TOO old! I always tell them that I would like to wait a little longer, but the truth is, I want one now! They just leave me feeling useless.
Anyway, I will not be giving up anytime soon, and hopefully, none of you ladies too. I hope and have faith that one day I will be holding my beautiful baby in my arms. Even if I only have one...that will be enough for me.

I'm 27, married for 5 years now. Completely and utterly depressed. 5 of my closest friends all pregnant except me.
I'm bitter, angry and sad. Yes, the big question, "why me?"

Hi Kate
These stories really hit home. I am 27 years old and I have been with my husband for 11yrs and married for 6 of those. I was on BC for 9 yrs and have been off of it for 2yrs. My husband and I beens tring since I got off the pill and have not got pregnanted yet. I just found out yestrday that my best friend is now pregnent and I think I am jealouse, and I am not a jealouse type person. She was not ready and she is not married yet. I really did not know what to say to her. I have not when to the last four baby showers that I have been invited to and she told me that I have to go to hers. I told her that I will try. It also made me feel bad when she told me that I need to have a baby soon so we can raise our kids together.
Well I am glad this blog was here for me to read, I read it from begining to end. And good luck to all.

Hi guys...
It really gave me comfort the fact of reading Kate's blog and find out that there are a lot of women feeling the same as me. I'm 26 and I've been trying to get pregnant for almost 10 months. And yes, it dissappoints me when I hear of somebody else's pregnancy and even more when my own family starts asking about it. It deeply hurts.
Thanks all of you for your kind words.

I have to believe that everyone's journey is different. My husband and I have been ttc since our wedding night on 5/11/07. We haven't had any luck. I was on clomid for 5 months and it made me insane. I was moody, bloated, tired, and sick. It was the hardest 5 months. Then my husband and I went to a fertility doctor. Everything was fine which we already knew from going to my gyno. We went though 2 IUI's without any luck. I couldn't take hearing from the nurse at the fertility doctor that I wasn't pregnant. I borke down and we decided that we would wait. I'm only 29 and my husband is only 33. We decided to take 6 months off and see what happens. I'm a nanny and I can tell anyone out there that you don't need to carry a baby and give birth to have a bond with children. I would be open to adoption. I just want to have a family one day. Now I'm waiting, that's all I have the heart or energy to do at the moment. I do have to say one thing, I wish people would stop telling me that you will get pregnant when you stop trying. That adds pressure that I don't need to have at this point.
Best of luck to every woman out there trying to have a baby!

Oh where do I begin? This article really hit home with me. The one difference I have with so many of the other comments on here is that I've been pregnant once. This time last year I was pregnant. I was on CLOUD 9 and so excited about everything. Everything was going GREAT! A little morning sickness, a little bloating - but nothing big. My Dr wouldn't see me until 10 weeks. I can still vividly remember the day my husband and I went to the Dr. We were thrilled! We were ecstatic! We were amazed! And then - we were crushed. There was NO heartbeat. I went through some serious guilt issues, a bit of depression and some definite anxiety about getting pregnant again. I've had quite the stressful year, and have just begun to relax enough to believe I can get pregnant again. As of right now I've tried a total 15 months and succeeded ONCE. So I'm discouraged as well as CRUSHED every single month.
Thanks for making me understand that there are other people experiencing the same feelings of guilt, anger, anxiety and depression.
Hopefully - at some point I'll be able to express happy feelings on here. :)

hi ya does anyone no can you catch preg day before u was due on? im 6 days late and says neg still?
137 - Chara
I feel for you so much! I too am a 27 year old who has been trying to concieve now for 4 years to no avail. I am almost in tears after reading this blog, I am relieved to know that I am not the only one out there that feels this way. I too attended one of my generously fertile friend's baby shower, the animosity and irritation made me feel like a monster. And now she's pregnant again, along with 2 other overly potent friend's of mine.
Then there's the abusers and baby killers, why were they blessed with a child, being the horrible parents they are, but I can't have just one?
I understand the useless feeling, I have a wonderful man who deserves to be given a child, but no matter how hard I try, it just won't happen. Then you worry, will he stay with me if I can't give him one? When I read your blog, it felt like it was written about me. Like you peered into my mind and wrote it. I do hope you reach your goal and are blessed with a child. I will keep you in mind when I say my fertility prayers each night, or when I drop that hopeful penny into the wishing well. And please, let me know if you strike gold, good luck!

Hello All,
Hearing stories like these make me realize I am not alone. My husband and I have been married for just over 3 years now and have been trying to have a baby for over a year. I can't believe how disappointing it is every time I get my period - my heart breaks just a little more each time...
I am hopeful that one day we may be blessed with the joy of being able to share the love we have with one of our own - but I do believe that even though others have told me my life is just aimless wondering until experiencing having a family of my own, I will not believe them... My life does have purpose even though I may not experience bearing my own children.
Your story has made me realize that even though it is hard to see friends and family so easily become pregnant, that does not make me a bad person but only human. Now knowing that others have felt the same guilt of jealousy of others, I realize I am not alone, and it makes it just a little easier.
Best of luck to all like me who have being trying so hard!

I can't believe the responses sense I commented last. This site is amazing. I am almost 31 girls. I have been married 8 1/2 years and we are still trying. We are going on 5 years now. My husband and I have done it all. We are thankful for the wonderful insurance we have but nothing has worked. And the worst part is there is nothing medically wrong with either of us. I have PCOS, but have lost almost 90 lbs, and have regular cycles now, so I was told that its not that causing my problems. So to you all out there, keep your chins up. Its hard, but there are other ways out there. My husband and I have looked into adoption, but that seems to be just as hard as getting pregnant these days, we are at 2 years of waiting on that. I don't want to disapoint anyone, but its hard, sad and very emotional. My husband and I have stopped "trying" in the sense that we aren't watching cycles and taking temps any more. We have come to the point where if it happens it happens. After 5 years of fertility treatments, hormones, and timed sex it just wasn't fun anymore. I love my husband to much to lose him over something that shouldn't make us fight. Things seem better now that everything doesn't seem so forced. I still cry alot, and have those empty baby feelings. And believe I feel like I am getting old. My friends are all getting pregnant and expanding their families and I am still waiting. But it helps to talk about it. I do wish we could aford surrogacy. But I go to school full time and work only about 20 hours a week and my husband only makes about 25000.00 a year. Its not an easy road. Seems to only get harder. Good luck to all of you, I hope you find your miracle.

I was wondering if im alone im am so glad i found this site i'm 38 and i have had 2 failed ivf cycles and i caint afford to do anymore since i payed for ivf out of my pocket with no insurance.Im so saddend that my cycles failed.Not only did my both cycles failed but i aslo lost two family members at the same time.At the time of my first cycle my sister died from nine gun shot wounds to the head at her place of buisness.After speaking to my fertility doctor she imformed me that my cycle failed due to stress.Not giving up even though at this point my funds had dwindled down me and my husband decided to remortgage our home to try again.My second cycle started in oct/07 this time things looked great and then yet again to my dismay i got another call that my grandmother that i loved so dearly had lost her battle to rectum cancer she died nov/8/2007 again my cycle failed.I was devaststed and shocked that at a time like this when im trying to create life i was losing my beloved family members.Why am i so bad lucked i caint afford to do ivf again im struggling i still think this is all a dream.So i decided to adopt maybe that is what god has instored me.Anyone has any ideas how to raise the money for adoption im thinking of adopting from ethiopia.please i need some words of wisdom im hurting inside.

Its just amazing how we Never seem to get enough. I tried 2 years to get pregnant after I got married, and at the time I didn't care what sex the kid would be, and had even pleaded with God that I could do with any kind of kid, so long as it was from my womb. A few years down the line, I have 3 beautiful daughters, one with some health challenges (Be careful what you ask!), and now I wish I had a baby boy. I watch my husband envy fathers moving aroung with sons who look just like them, and seemingly happy, and I feel sorry that we couldn't have a son. And some very insensitive ladies have had the courage to tell me, my husband is so handsome, he should have had a son! When do we get satisfied with what we have. And true, we have had MEGA financial struggles just making sure all the girls are well catered for. Every time my heart begins to cry for another child, I remember my very first prayers for a baby. For the last 7 years, I have tried to get the fourth hoping it is a boy, and I can not get pregnant. I have decided to relax about getting pregnant and just be CONTENT with my girls. I wish you all the very best.

I tested pregnant after trying for many years, was excited, and began putting on maternity wear before my tummy could even show! Then CRUSH! 12 weeks after the test, I began to bleed, I was rushed to a medical centre, and they told be the sac was empty!! In shock I asked the doctor to find the baby, and put it back in the sac. He must have laughed in silence! I was taken to theatre and D&C was carried out. Its four years now, and I still can not get pregnant. I am 43 now. A friend of mine 41, got pregnant with such accustomed ease, and had a very healthy baby boy, but she died an hour later from over bleeding. The baby is alive. I am traumatized by her death, and for the past four months since she passed, I am really scared to death about getting pregnant especially now that I am 43. But that doesn't make me stop wanting a baby!

i have been trying for a few years with my bf, i am at the stageof giving up and i think maybe thats when it happens according to all my mummy mates and all info iv researched, any1 heard of the law of attraction to concieve and the secret.??
144 - grace
aw. this story is very sad. i know how you feel i have only tried for 3-4 months but every month when you feel your pms symptoms start it is an awful feeling. im young only 20, so i know that i have time. i also agree with the statement you said about being put on this earth to have children. i only want one just one and i feel like my whole life will be complete. i know that this is what i was meant to do. to top it all off you hear these stories about 15 year olds having sex and getting pregnant on their first try. why?! well good luck to all you girls. i hope you all get the most beautiful little babies in the world!

I was surprised to read the comments of Dennis:i.e
"Do you not realize that the planet you live on is currently way overpopulated, with no sign of slowing down? Why are you trying to get pregnant in the first place? That's such a selfish concept.
Why don't you adopt a baby?"
It seems that Dennis (comment number 3) is the selfish one here for looking at life through his/her own lens and being inconsiderate to the needs of others. Like the author, I believe that it is my purpose in life to have children. I married at 34 and a year later I am not pregnant. The agony of waiting for a man to come into my life and then to have difficulty getting pregnant is excruciating. Dennis, if everyone were selfish in wanting to get pregnant, the human race would cease to exist. If you don't have normal maternal feelings, don't take it out on the author, Kate. What she is going through is very normal and understandable.
148 - Hayley
I'm a healthy 30 yr old woman and my fiance and I have been trying unsucessfully to get pregnant for 2 yrs now and over the last two weeks I've found out that my sister and my fiance's sister are pregnant (both by accident). I feel horrible that I am so bitter about it and wish I can feel truely happy for them both but I just can't!
Everyone tells me to just relax and it will happen but the waiting is sooooo stressful! I need to focus my energy and time on something else to make me stop thinking about babies.
Good luck to you all xo

Omgosh. I'm a married 27 year old who has been trying to get pregnant for at least the last 5 yrs. Almost every woman I know is a mother (all but 1 was unintentional). It has gotten to the point where when people ask me when I'm going to have mine, I say I'm not ready out of embarassment. In my heart I really do want a baby so bad. My husband wants a baby also and I tell him I don't to keep him at bay, as if the fact that we don't have children is a choice I'm making. I don't know what to do. I'm living with all this hurt alone. I smile and rub bellies whenever someone gets pregnant, I give great advice to new moms with their babies and in general kids naturally love me. It hurts so much when people say how they can't wait until I'm "ready" to have kids, I'll be such a great mom. I'm just venting, I don't even know the point I was trying to make. I just don't want to feel this pain anymore.

kay dont feel so bad you are not alone...........................you can join along with others www.dailystrenght.org....i did and i love it......hope to see you join.
151 - not_yet
I'm in the same boat.......and I'm 23. It's been about two years that I've been trying. I believe I'm ready, but my body just isn't as convinced as my head. It gets depressing at times, but I have to keep the faith. I'm not giving up anytime soon though.
Good luck to everyone!
152 - Antonia
I'm 28 and have been trying for 8 years now. I have PCOS and one block tube and I feel what you are going through. Everyone keeps telling me that nothing happens before its time when they don't know the half of what we have to go through. Personally I am tired of all the med and tests. I am tired of spending alot of money to see the doctor when I am not getting any positive results. I am tired of seeing young girls with babies that can't take care of theirself.I cry almost everyday and daydream of me being pregnant. Despite all of this I have never given up hope that one day I would be a mother.So I feel your pain, hope and belief is all we need to get by. Best of luck to all trying!

154 - Nicole
Im not exactly for sure where to start.... I was doing a little research on fertility which eventually led me to this site... Me and my soon to be husband have been trying to have a baby all together for a year and a half now. This past October, a couple of weeks after he left for Afghanistan I found out i was pregnant... after almost a year of trying and thinking we could never get pregnant. A week after i found out i was pregnant i found out i had a tubal pregnancy.
I dont even want to try and remember what feelings came over me... not to mention him as well. My first cousion, who is like a sister to me came down to visit the week of my surgery and to stay with me for support, found out she was pregnant a week after i had the surgery... again sooooooo many emotions!! she stayed with me for almost two months and finally she left b/c i was began to go absolutely crazy.... I work at a beauty supply store which makes things worse b/c it seems like evryone around me is getting pregnant and i feel like i cant even look at them. I really hate feelings this way. He has been back for over a month now and we've been having many problems.... We were hoping to get pregnant but i just started my cycle two days ago... Reading all these comments has made me realize many many things. Many of the comments i read give me the encouragement and hope i need... I have also been trying to get back on the right path with God, which is helping.... I just kinda wanted to put my comment out there b/c many of yours have touched me and make me feel less alone.
After reading many i have the want to change the way i feel about the women who are pregnant b/c i have no idea what they have gone through to get pregnant. Sorry if this is all a little crazy to understand... it's 3 a.m. , havent been able to sleep for the past couple of days..... I am only 20 but trust me i feel well past my years ( from many past experiences) anyways to sum it all up i feel a heck of alot better after reading you alls comments...... best of luck to you all... i will keep everyone of you in my prayers.
155 - Pamela, KY
I am sending out a prayer that everyone on this site who wants to become pregnant and be a parent.... Can and will!! I miscarried a week ago, my first pregnancy in my 5 year struggle to get pregnant. I know it will happen, all I can do is try... Isn't that the fun part, the trying?!?! :-)
156 - daavi
Hi Susan,
Please don't feel suicidal. I know it can be really really frustrating to say the least. And being over anxious too can cause it not to happen at all. Above all, don't lose faith in God. I have a colleague in the office who had a second baby almost 18 years after the first one. WE all thought it wouldn't be possible anymore after trying for so long. She didn't even know she was pregnant. So please miracles still do happen and God has not forgotten about you. I have a little girl turning 5 in July and I started trying for a second one since she was one and a half but it's still yet to happen but I still believe it will. So you are not alone and do keep your fingers crossed - it will happen!
157 - Yolanda
I know exactly how you feel.It is going on year number 6 for my husband and I. I still seem to think that it is just me who feels so much guilt and anger and frustration and every other feeling besides happines . It is as if I can't find comfort in anything. I am 30 years old and I already have a 15 year old daughter, but she's not my husbands. He has no kids (yet)and I know it kills him (and me) just knowing how much he loves kids and I cant give him one. I finally went to the doctor earlier this year and started on the clomid but it was messing with my hormones so bad I had to stop. I think I take the blame out on everyone to MOSTLY MYSELF!! And just as you were saying, everyone around me seems to get pregnant without even trying! Theres a girl in my class who got pregnant and I feel like she did it just because she knew I was trying! Thats probably not what happend, but thats the way it feels. I get so depressed sometimes and thats when everyone says, just stop trying, it will happen. Been there done that. We gave up for about a year at about year number 4 and still nothing. I hope the best for you and maybe one day it will be the lords will and we can speak again and teel each other how our kids are growing.
Praying for the best for all of us!!

I am trying so hard to just relax and leave it in the Lord's hands to give me a baby but sometimes it just gets soo hard. My step sister who I absolutely can not stand just gave birth to a baby and I feel so crushed and could not be more jealous. I know that is a very ugly attitude to have but when it comes to wanting to have a child it's like you have this bitter side that comes outta you out of nowhere. I know it is the right thing to do to be happy for others but it becomes really hard. My boyfriend and i had been trying for a year to get pregnant and then we stopped....we didn't even talk about it we just stopped. What he doesn't know is my wishes to still continue. I use to talk about having a baby but when I saw that it started to take a toll on my relationship i stopped. I almost feel like he himself was irritated about me not conceiving but he of course would never say anything.What is even a bigger slap in the face is his x girlfriend just had a baby by someone else and i know that had some affects on him. I will talk to him about it one of these days about trying again but its just hard trying to find the words these days.....now i know the excuse is going to be the economy.

HI
IM 19 JUST MARRIED IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET PREGNANT FOR A YEAR BUT I CANT EVERY MONTH IS JUST HARD FOR ME BECAUSE I DONT GET PREGNANT I CRY EVERYNIGHT BECAUSE I WISH I HAD A BABY SO BAD I WANT TO BE A MOMMY AND I GET FUSTRATED BECAUSE IT DONT HAPPEN
164 - Laila Jaafar
Dear Kate,
I'm 28 years old woman. I know EXACTLY what you're going through, as for me I spent like 2 years and a couple of months before getting preganant.
I tried everything you can imagine, I did evey test the doctors told me about, (two failed IUI and all the tests) they told me you have "unexplained infertility". I was going for IVF next September.
Until one day, when I discovered "pre-seed" :)))))
I don't know whether you heard about it or not. It's an intimate moisturiser that helps sperms to live longer. I heard many stories about it, but I couldn't believe them, until one day I said: Why not let's give it a try??
The first month I was very anxious, putting high hopes but it didn't work for me.
The next month I said: OK, since it won't harm let's do it.
Then I missed my PMS, I couldn't believe it!!!
I thought it was hormonal changes or something.
Then I did home pregnancy test to come as positive :))))))))))))
So, if you haven't tried this, just give it a try on ovulation days for 6 months or something and don't be stressed out please while trying (I know it's hard, I've been through this myself)
Baby dust to you and wishing you all the best.

Did I miss something - in Kate's profile it reads: "Kate can be found at home with her baby daughter, already filling her little head with music and movie quotes and trivia." Did she conceive or adopt? Good for her!

Hi all,
i know this aint one of the easiest roads in life, and all sorts of feelings will come your way as you travell down it,
but i am happy coz we are not left without a promisse from God, look up to God and He alone will see you through this tougth and trying moments. claim God's promisse that says that children are a gift from God and the fruit of the Womb his reward, God is able yes He is more than able to give you children no matter your age or circumstance. God is able...

you are all so young at your age, and still have a lot of hopefull years of waiting to do to have a baby. Me I'm already 41 and still hoping that our Dear Lord will shower me and my husband blessings to have babies. I'm married for almost 5 years and yet we still don't have babies. Goodluck to all of us. Hope sooner or later all our dreams will come true.

Like wise , we are hoping to get conceive since the last 1 year. I have my first baby born in 2007 , May 17 . She was infected by a bacterial and passed away in Feb 2008 . My husband and I were so sad and since then we keep trying and no news until now. Well, I would like to encourage myself and all of you who are having ambition with us : Never give up ! As what the doctor told me : It's not your luck yet.

I just took a pregnancy test and again it's negative. I couldn't stop crying. I'm single and trying to have a baby on my own. It costs so much money each month to try and I don't know how much longer I can do this for. the clinic is shutting down in July and August for the summer (hey it's Canada why should they care about their patients hopes and fears? They'll get paid no matter what!) I wish I had the money to go to a clinic in the States, they're not state run so they actually care about keeping their patients happy.
