Trying To Get Pregnant Isn't Always Exciting. Sometimes, It Can Be Heartbreaking
You’ve married the man of your dreams, you’ve settled down to a life together, and now you’ve decided it’s time to start a family. It’s a joyous occasion! A time of emotional and sexual excitement! A phase of possibility and hope! Or… it’s a time of heartache, uncertainty, and grief.
The fact of it is, not everyone who wants to get pregnant gets pregnant right away — or at all. If you're someone who’s been trying for a while, it can feel like motherhood is slipping through your fingers. Maybe you’re watching — a smile pasted on your face — as all your friends get pregnant and become moms. Maybe it seems like every woman you pass on the street is visibly pregnant — while your own uterus remains achingly empty. Whatever your situation, struggling to get pregnant takes an emotional toll.
