Infertility Issues

AD and I have been married for several years. In our early years of marriage, we were not "trying" to conceive, and, unfortunately, we used measures to prevent a pregnancy until we were through grad school and making progress in our careers. As we've matured as individuals and in our Christian faith, we have realized that we made a mistake. Now, in our early 30's, we are realizing that we are infertile. I blame my weight issues on my infertility, but my OB/GYN says there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to conceive. Needless to say, this has made us very sad, but for years (up until recently), it consumed my life!

My mother-in-law is an overall nice person, but on more than one occasion, she has said hurtful comments (perhaps unintentionally) about my weight and lack of ability to conceive a child. While my hurt turns to anger, and I question why AD won't speak up on my behalf, I have yet to respond to her. AD continues to be of the opinion that all of these feelings I have are unreasonable and are totally from my imagination. How totally absurd! ha! ha! More on the in-laws later. :)
