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?

Last year I had a miscarriage. Prior to that, I had believed that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant, because I have a severe bicornuate uterus. My husband and I were already looking at adoption options. But my new gynecologist told me that even though I have a higher chance of having a high-risk pregnancy, I should be able to carry a child to near-term.

So, we decided to give it a try. To find out that I probably have luteal phase defect and possibly low progesterone. The doctor is starting me on Clomid next cycle.

My biggest problem is a former friend. She is married to my husband's best friend and she had fertility issues herself. We haven't been friends for years, her fertility issues were completely different than mine (she has no problem getting pregnant, she has a problem maintaining a pregnancy).

Ever since my miscarriage, she has acted like we are two peas in a pod, and keeps giving me unsolicited advice. She only wants to talk to me when I am discussing my fertility problems, we have nothing else in common any more to discuss. And I really don't care that drinking green tea helped her get pregnant or she has a friend of a friend who took this vitamin or that drug. I know that she thinks she is the fertility expert, but I don't want her advice. I have a doctor. I am a paramedic with access to tons of medical resources. And I have better friends who have done far more for me over the years, regardless of what was going on with my uterus.

Ugh. I can't take it any more!!!! If it wasn't for my husband's friendship, I would seriously go off on her!
