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?

Clear blue fertility monitor..........any good?
We have been TTC for 3 and a half years and the Drs are finally doing fertility tests on us both. In order for us to stay positive about things, we have decided to invest in a new gadget, the clear blue fertility monitor, it is a little pricey, but having read a LOT of reviews we decided that having a baby far outweighs the cost of buying this monitor. It also seems to have us both quite excited about TTC again, as Iam sure many of you are aware, when you have been TTC for a while, the fun can sometimes go out of BDing.
I just wondered if any of you ladies on here have used this monitor and what you thought of it. I am in the 2ww at the moment, ready to start with the monitor from nxt cycle (hopefully I wont need it!!!) We have another 2 and a half months before our next fertility appointment. Hopefully we can go back with a BFP! Baby dust to everyone, stay positive!!!

Advice for a couple ttc with PCOS!!!!
My husband and I have been ttc now for a year. I've been off bc since last march (2010). Every month has been such a let down. My mother had no problems conceiving so I figured I'd have no problems either. Well, not so much... My husbands sister has had two unplanned pregnancies, all our other friends have had kids and it seems like every time we turn around (every month almost) one of our other friends is pregnant (even those who said they weren't trying or didn't want kids right now!!!) We are SO bummed. Anywho, long story short, we found out last week I have PCOS, which totally sucks. It is treatable with fertility drugs but it's still not 100%. My periods are irregular usually 35 day cycles total. I've taken conception tests and have only had one that turned positive so I don't even know if I ovulate at all!!
Does anyone have any advice, helpful hints, encouragement?

PCOS + Regular + AF = FAIL
I know that all you sisters out there are going through similiar issues. I think I'm at my wits end!! Started TTC 9 months ago, went off the pill a month before. After two months Each month my cycles would get a day or two longer, which meant that each month I got the butterflies, peed on about 15 sticks thinking they were all wrong, only to wake up in the AM to dissapointment. Was diagnosised with PCOS last month, put on Metformin only for now. Dr. say that I ovulate however. OPKs are regular, we are always timing to it....what is wrong!! To make it worse, got a faint positive on HPT, took another to make sure, it was negative, and AF showed up two days later to prove it. How do you cope with heartbreak every month. Oh and to the ladies that feel like there are pregnant ppl everwhere....they've begun their invasion here as well. 5 women in the office, two cousins, three friends, and one sister in law!!!!!!
Anyone else have the same issues though with PSOC, regular OPK + ? Any success with Metformin only? Metformin + Clomid?

Tired of waiting.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two years now. We have used birth controls to help me regulate(I have been very irregular since I was sixteen and got off depo shot). In February 2010, we decided to start trying completely natural. no more medicine or false hopes in thinking that its going to help. We're stressed out. We are so ready to become parents. During the past two years of struggle I've seen several of my friends get pregnant and have beautiful children, and I sit and wonder "when is it my turn?"
