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?

Lying on my back with my legs in the air...again

I never imagined TTC would be such an emotional roller coaster! I feel like I'm surrounded by Big round bellies and new babies! I don't know why I just didn't think it would take this long we're currently on month 5, and I know that is not so long compared to what some other cupals go through but still it feels like a long time!
Since TTC I have been googling ovulation, fertility, the best ways to have sex to get pregnant, junkie! I can't stop! I'm completely obsessed with my cervical mucus! I quit smoking. I gave up coffee!!! I've been taking vitamins eating healthy and exercising.
I admittedly just quit the coffee a month and a half ago and started exercising at the same time. I decided to not quit feeling hopeful. Every month during the two week wait I make myself crazy trying to interpret my physical symptoms PREGNANCY or PMS??? I get depressed when I test negative and more depressed when I get the period.
Aside from quitting smoking and coffee I started drinking green tea, about 4-5 cups a day. I've been reading that green tea doubles your chances of conception if you drink a cup or more a day. I think all of my habit changes caused me to ovulate early this month (per my obsessive CM checking habit)! And even though I don't want to set myself up for depressing dissappointment when I don't pee a positive, I'm feeling good because I had some spotting and mabye it was implantation bleeding!!!
I feel better after venting! I know my husband is sick of the words cervical mucus! Anyhow The best to all of us trying to make a little miracle! Keep hoping!
