Argh I hate that word ....
Even more so when it's attached to the rest of the sentence which includes.... have a child already......
Here is an article shared on the MB Social Network.... But I'm going to share it here as well.....
Secondary infertility is the condition where a woman who has had a baby, struggles to conceive or carry a baby to full term the second time around.....
The guilt and loneliness of trying to conceive again
Trying, and failing, to conceive a second child is one of the loneliest battles to face. We sympathize with women who struggle to conceive, and celebrate with those who do, but what about those who fall somewhere in the middle?
And the guilt is often overwhelming. Do you have a right to feel so desperate, when there are many women who have never felt the indescribable joy of a baby growing inside them? How can you share your anguish with the world when you already have one perfect child? Coupled with the guilt and inadequacy you feel at being unable to produce a sibling for your existing child, secondary infertility can be heartbreaking.
The insensitivity of others is also incredibly painful. “You’re long overdue for number two”, or “How can you be so selfish and bring up an only child?” are comments many couples have to deal with, when the world sees you’ve already produced one child.
Secondary infertility is more common than you think. Secondary infertility is a lot more common than people realize. Many couples who are battling to conceive a second child are not offered treatment options by their doctors as, after all, you have produced a child already. Telling you to keep trying can result in a lot of time wasted as nobody is investigating the problem.
I'm a tad bit over sensitive today.....
