Today, after trying unsuccessfully for three or so years to have a baby with my wife, my broodiness has gotten so bad that when I saw a couple with their daughter at the bus stop, I briefly had a daydream where I shot them in the head and took their daughter home to raise as my own. FML

DesperateToBeDad tells us more.

OP here. Wow, wasn't expecting so many comments! I feel I should probably clarify a few things here: First of all, I have a very vivid imagination and tend to have involuntary daydreams where various scenarios to a situation play out. This was one such case, and doesn't mean I'm violent or am actually contemplating shooting people or anything like that, my mind just rollercoasters through various things happening and I'm just sort of along for the ride. I found this one amusing enough to post on FML. My wife and I are currently looking into fertility tests to find out exactly what the problem is, and will of course consider adoption/fostering if it turns out that natural conception isn't on the cards. Don't worry, I'm not going to abduct anyone's kids or go on a murder spree. :P

Maybe see a therapist op? Also, there's fertility clinics and treatments you can get to enhance your chances of having a kid. Best of luck!

Maybe think about trying adoption if at all possible. I wish you the best of luck OP with whatever you choose to do.

You might be best to talk to someone, OP. Your feelings towards the situation have obviously started to manifest in some not so good ways- be careful an keep and eye on them. And don't forget, there are always fertility doctors and people who can help when things aren't quite working. I've seen friends go through this and I can only imagine how you feel. Keep trying op, keep your options open. Best of luck!! Xo

Is it just me or does this scene kind of seem like a beginning to an episode of "Criminal Minds".

There are several episodes of Criminal minds with this kind of scenario.

There are natural products you can use on top of Western treatment to help :)

I tend to do the same things. I often have these "what if"-thoughts. I would think about what i could do / or could have done in a situation snd then my thoughts go really far. Entire conversations would play out and stuff like that. It's basically like dreaming just with alot more control. Is it the same for you?

Yeah, pretty much! I have that to the point where if I know I need to talk to someone about something, I'll play out the whole conversation in my head the way I expect it to go. And then I daydream about talking to the person about how I daydreamed about how the conversation would go.

Hi OP! I just ranted to give you some positive thoughts. Even though it's been 3 years there possibly isn't anything wrong with either of you! my husband and I tried for 3 years as well and now we currently have a 5 month old daughter! He and I were both over thinking, which caused us to stress. And losing my job (where we actually both worked) actually eliminated my stress and we ended up pregnant 3 months later lol. I know it's hard not to stress but try not to, everyone thinks (that I've known) it's ready to get pregnant but actually I'd rather difficult because timing has to be just right. Keep your head up and keep us updated please :-)

Don't give up hope! It took my mom 4 years and a bunch of fertility treatments to have me and 3 months after she had me she got pregnant again with my younger sister. I'm a test tube baby, so maybe you should try in vitro fertilization or consider adopting.
