8 Common Worries of the Couple Trying to Conceive

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Friday, July 13, 2012 | 0 comments

Trying to conceive can be a stressful time — and not just for me, it’s quite common — all the worries.

Trying to conceive is such a personal thing too, I mean who really goes around talking about their cervical mucus and sexy-time scheduling (I do!), so sometimes these worries many of us have make us feel like we’re the only ones worrying… but I assure you, you’re not alone!

I sometimes find myself wishing this was all easier for me. I know things are always greener on the other side and realize there are people who have it harder than I do, but I don’t want to diminish my feelings by saying those things to myself. I am feeling a bit defeated. I wish I didn’t have to worry about miscarriage and could get pregnant with no worries.

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.
