Conception Frustrations II?
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?

Conception Woes..

Posted by: Angela427 on Tue Aug 2, 2011
My frustration comes from the length of time we wait just to conceive. My son took 10 months. We are now trying for our 2nd and we are 11 months in. We had a miscarriage back in December at only 5 weeks along. I hate when people keep asking, "are you pregnant yet?" or "How long have you been trying?" And when they hear that we've been trying so long they say "Oh, well it will happen." I know they just want to try and make me feel better, but it honestly doesn't. Every month I feel like I've failed and have to restart all over again. The worst part is the fact that I have a friend who decided to start TTC only 2 months ago and just fell pregnant. Now I am happy for her, dont get me wrong...but she is well aware that my husband and I have been trying for almost a year, yet she rubs it in my face that she's conceived already. She is only 4 weeks along, and to me it shouldn't even be announced yet (what if she were to miscarry like I did at 5 weeks?) I know its an exciting time for her but at the same time its like, I wish she would've held off to tell me until she was further along, you know? My biggest struggle is dealing with the fact that people I know who dont even try to get pregnant are getting pregnant, and other friends who just started trying are already pregnant as well...when will my turn come?? I just dont understand what could be wrong if physically nothing is wrong with my husband or myself.....And having people rub it in my face that they're pregnant right off the bat seems inconsiderate to me.
