How to face infertility and already existing family?

Question

I have been together with my husband for about 5 years. We are going through a fertility therapy. He is quite older than me and has already two grown up children. His daughter has recently made him grandad and asks for his regular support. I actually feel frustrated not to be a mother at all.

We do talk about it I feel he doesn't care as much as me about our possible family.

How do I face all that?

Answer 1

That is really tough. I think you have two options; you can try to accept that you may not be having kids and see if you can enjoy your husband's kids and grandchildren like they are your own. Or you could talk to your husband about how much you want children and tell him honestly that you don't feel like he wants the same thing. Ask for his support through your fertility therapy and maybe talk about the possibility of adoption. I am sure this must be so hard, I am really sorry I don't have any better advice. Good luck!
