That question has been battling back back and forth in my mind for quite some time now. Over the last few months Mike and I have not been "trying" but rather just letting things happen. I think he knew that I was just getting emotionally drained with the issue and just kind of let it drop for a bit.
Over the last few weeks or so I've been asking myself when would be the right time to start trying again? I know people say-if you have to think about that-you're not ready. It's not that we're not ready-because we are...we are very ready to have kids....I'm just not ready to start going through the emotional draining thoughts of TRYING to get pregnant all over again. I know it's all part of the baby process-but really-why didn't anyone ever tell me/us that you could struggle to get pregnant? That it might not just happen the first few months you try? Rather it could take months and months and months to get pregnant? Why was all of this information left out when people talk about getting pregnant? All you ever hear about is...yea we weren't trying...and oops-guess we're having another one! WHY!!!????
Thinking about all of this just drains me emotionally-but I know that it is something that I/we need to come to terms with. Mike really tries to understand-but really no man can FULLY understand what it is like to be a woman and to want to get pregnant and feel responsible every month when AF shows and you have to tell him that once again you're not pregnant. NO MAN CAN REALLY TRULY UNDERSTAND THAT!! Mike is 100% supportive of me-and he tries to understand the emotional rollercoaster that this can cause me to go on-but I really don't think he can really truly understand. I wish there was a book on-how to support your wife when TTC? :) Maybe I should write one....it's a thought.
