When couples decide they want a baby they want a baby now, or at least nine months from now. So when month after month of "TTC" (trying to conceive) goes by and "2WW"(two weeks waiting) gets you a "BFN" (big fat negative) on your home pregnancy test, you and your "DH"(dear husband) are understandably disappointed, frustrated and shocked. Eventually many couples seek help, have a fertility workup and get prescriptions for injectable fertility drugs as part of a treatment plan which may also include IUI (intrauterine insemination) or IVF (in vitro fertilization).

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.

Thank you for sharing this! My Aunt did not conceive until she was 38 and now I have been trying to conceive since 2009. This really gives people hope.
