Should I stop trying

I've been married for two years, my husband has two kids from a pervious relationship, we have no children together. I told him I wanted a baby and he agreed, we would try. We've been trying for about seven months and nothing. I get my period and cry because I know I'm not pregnant, he says to me I want you to b pregnant because u want it soo much and I want to make u happy. I kind of took that like he really doesn't want a baby he just wants to give me what I want, should I stop pushing the issue of becoming pregnant, and just b happy with my relationship??? Loaded question right, I just think that if his kids loved me I wouldn't want a baby as much, but half the time they act as if I'm not there, what should I do????

Hard to interpret that im not sure wat you should do talk to him about wa he wants

l really think you should continue trying to get your own kid..No matter how much you try,his kids will always see you as a stepmum,,there is nothing more satisfying than being a mum to your own kid.and him wanting to get a kid for your sake proves that he is caring and considerate

It can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant, so don't get worried yet, if you are getting anxious talk to your doctor about getting some blood work done.  

If you want your own child that's fine & you should not give up, talk to your husband & see what he wants & why he wants it.  I hope you will both be on the same page.  Don't read into his words that he only wants a baby for your sake..that can lead to big issues, you need to talk & get clear information so you can both make decisions together, for all you know he really wants a child but does not know how to express it.

How old are his kids, how long have they known you?  Why do you think they dont love you?  Maybe have a family meeting & work some of this stuff out. I wish you all the best!

Im the same way. me and my bf have been dating for 5 years im not married.  Im 21 and i want a baby so bad. I have a niece, and ever since she was born, i have wanted one. NOW MY BEST FRIEND IS PREGNANT, SHE WASN'T EVEN TRYING. I know everything that i have to do and that will come with having a baby. We have been trying for only a few months but i work  and so does my bf, so when i come home im tired. I just don't to have sex anymore. Should i stopping trying.

Natalie - You should have your own kids, I dont know how old you are, but you must experience your own baby, pregnancy and those emotions, good luck, keep trying, it will happen one day.

Thank for the advice everyone, I spoke to my husband after posting this, and he said he wanted US to start a family and we can b complete. I really wanted to bond with his kids but if it hasn't happened in the six years we've been together then I'm afraid it's not gonna happen, I'm just worried that if/when I get pregnant that they will distance themselves even more.

Im happy you & your hubby talked, that is great!  I really hope you get your BFP soon, remember it can take up to a year, so don't stress, you still have 5 months left before you need to see a doc for help...but if you do get close to that year ask for a referral so you don't have to wait so long to get in.  Take care!!!
