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?

TTC

Posted by: ellsie on Tue Feb 19, 2008
I can really, really relate to semperfilove, and I 'm glad so to know that I am not alone.

My fiance and I have been trying to conceive for months now and what is so strange is that in the past, it has never been this difficult and now, when I am really ready with the most supportive and loving partner by my side.. It just doesnt or wont happen!

What makes it worse is when everyone says "just relax,if your tense it just wont happen" or "when the time is right - you'll conceive" -arrgghh!! I dont think anyone can really understand how frustating it can be - unless they have been down this road of anticipation every single month! I chart my cycles, my LH levels,my breasts, my cervical mucus - I take supplements, I eat so-called baby making foods (seeds, fruits,cereals, fish, yogarts)-gave up smoking months ago..and nothing!

I've begun to hate examining my self and my body as insecurities about my body and fertility follow and sometimes I get so depressed. Its good to let it out with other people, because I feel so guilty about breaking down to my partner every month!

So thank you for sharing your experience -and good luck with your baby plans!

Lots of Love
