As the New Year begins and everyone around you is posting about goals for the year ahead, do you find it hard to envision a future that doesn’t include children?
This is the topic for this week’s Whiny Wednesday:
Feeling lost
Tell us what’s going on with you.
Anyone else have a very drunk friend offer to knock you up since your husband “isn’t doing the job” on New Years Eve? No? Just Me? Awesome. Otherwise, it’s getting easier— I don’t have the same paralysis about making plans for new adventures because “what if”, but every now and then, the wave crashes again….
Well, 2 years ago, my then live-in boyfriend and I talked about planning for / having kids in 2020. I was beyond excited bc he was a fencesitter. We decided on names and the number. But unfortunately we are no longer together and I now have to start from stratch. It’s beyond depressing. And I just turned 37 so I def know my time is ticking. It just seems like kids are not in my cards and it sucks because I want to be a biological mother but at this point in my life, I don’t think it will happen.
I started seeing a grief counselor for my infertility. His advice on the first day? Don’t stress about it, give up and move on with life. It’ll happen naturally then.
What a waste of time and money.
horrible. I’ve spent so much time and money on therapists that didn’t understand about infertility and just hurt me even more. Thankfully I finally found someone who really listens and tries to understand and that comforts me. But I’d nearly given up on that.
