I have been trying to conceive since August 2014 and have had no luck. I figured it would take a few months for the birth control I was on for 10 years to work its way out of my body. I tried to stay as optimistic and positive as possible, but as I am sure you know, that is hard to do month after month. I want to have a child with all of my heart. My brother got married in April and they just told me they are five weeks pregnant. Of course, I know there is happiness somewhere in my heart, I cannot help but have overwhelming feelings of disappointment, jealousy, sadness, anger, anxiety, etc. Of course their pregnancy doesn't take anything away from me, or mean I cannot get pregnant, too, and I feel so selfish and guilty feeling the way I do. Everyone in my family has had an easy time (sometimes too easy!) getting pregnant, except me, so I feel like an outsider, like something is wrong with me and that no one can understand how I feel. Anyone who can commiserate or give me some advice on how to handle this?
Have you considered getting tested to see if in fact you do have an issue preventing you from getting pregnant? That would be my first piece of advice. Hugs and welcome!
