Struggling to conceive

I’ve been trying to conceive for 5 months now and nothing is happening. When I had my first child, it happened straight away. This time nothing. Has anyone else had the same experience or advice ?

Doing it Without a Village

I just wondered if many other people were doing parenthood without a village to help? We don’t get any help from our parents and although it was obviously our choice to have a child sometimes it just hurts a bit that we get no support. My little one ended up in A&E this week due to getting a viral wheeze which meant she couldn’t breathe properly and she hasn’t seen my mum in a few months but even though I invited my mum over to see her she still couldn’t be bothered to make the effort. She lives 20 mins down Road. I just don’t understand how she cannot be interested? She’s her only grandchild also.

Just feels hard balancing it with work and nursery when she’s always off poorly especially. She started nursery last November but still seems to be getting poorly all the time 🥴

Just wish we had someone to fall back on instead of me and my partner trying to figure out who’s less likely to get fired for having another day off work 🥴 I really envy people with close parents!

Ovulation

So my partner and I are planning on having a child. He’s very keen and I already have one. We started trying last month but haven’t been successful yet. I’m tracking my ovulation. Says tomorrow I ovulate. We are very sexually active as a couple but he’s struggles to finish when he knows I’m in green days. He says it’s that the added pressure of knowing he needs to finish makes it difficult for him. Has anyone else experienced this? Please comment opinions…

Exclusion

For the last several months I have attempted to join mom groups in my area and have been rejected based on my political views. I am an independent. Today I actually went off on a mom because she informed me that because I did not answer the question about my political views I would not be able to join. To which I replied with, “why do you need to know what my views it should not matter. We are here for our children, not to engage in political discussion.” She had the audacity to reply with, “because you are an independent and we are democratic group, we see that your views do not mesh with with ours. Good luck finding another group in this area because there is none. You might has well move out of this town, we don’t need your kind here.” If you look at my profile you see my views, so my failing to reply get a nasty response?

I’m sorry since when are political views so important for our children to engage in social groups? This group listed itself as “an open-minded community looking to socialize children because our children are the future” if that were the case I wouldn’t have had somebody so nasty message me and berate me, am I missing something?

I guess I just needed to vent, my husband applauded me for sticking up for myself and told me to try again. There is a group out there for me and the kids, I just have to look harder.

It’s just sad that there are women that act like they are in high school and contributing to the division of socialization.
