Conception Frustrations?
If you're trying to conceive and it's taking longer than you had hoped, what frustrations are you running into? Is it that just about everyone around you seems to be pregnant? Or, something someone said? Or, is you-know-who (your mom, his mom...) pressuring you or asking when way too often? Does it sometimes feel like TTC is more like Trying to Cope?

"Beyond Frustrated"
I'm beyond frustrated! My husband and I have been married 9 yrs. We have no children. In 1998 I found out I was pregnant with twins. I complained and complained about having twins. Unfortunately, during my 5th month, I miscarried. I regret ever complaining. Since then we've been trying unsuccessfully. My friends and family are forever giving me advice such as; be patient or your time will come or you're trying to hard. It's easy for them to say because they all have children. I'm so frustrated now that I find it difficult to attend baby showers or children's b/d parties. I nearly blew my stack when my girlfriend to me she was pregnant and wanted to have an abortion because she already had a child and didn't want any more. I've tried everything and have had no luck getting pregnant! Like I said, "I'm Beyond Frustrated!"

I don't get it
All the girls in my office were trying to get pregnant at the same time... Everyone else is (3 of them) and not me!! And I'm the one with the bright idea. Been trying to almost a year and a half now and just when I think I have it-my period changes by a few days. My husband is now getting frustrated and even he is saying maybe we are "trying to hard". Isn't that the point?

My frustrations
My husband and I started trying in March. We had to stop due to an illness I was dealing with. Now we are back to trying.. However I've had my mom, DH's parents, my sister.. ALL asking constantly when we're going to have a baby. Now on top of that, 4 sets of our friends are all having babies this year. Although I'm very very happy for them, I find it hard because I feel like I have nothing in common with them right now.. They all talk about being pregnant, and their ultrasounds, which is amazing they absolutely should be happy and bragging.. But I totally feel left out of the conversations.
I'm sure it will happen for us when it's meant to happen. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook about it.

frustated
I understand all of your frustrations. What hurts and annoys me is when my sister in-law has three kids and gave up custody of two. She has no problem with fertility and does not want all of her kids. I want kids and I am having trouble.

advice is hard to take sometimes
Everybody say's to stop trying and it will happen. I'm so tired of hearing that!!!!!!!!! We have been trying off and on for years now. We have not gotten pregnant while trying or not trying. You get to where you don't even want to tell people, because then they say(Your trying to hard). I know they mean well but it's very to go through this with people hurling advice from every direction. Sorry just needed to vent. Sending everyone good luck!!
