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?

Keeping the faith

I've just lost my second baby since June 2008. Yesterday was the due date of the first baby and last week I had to visit the maternity ward to have my rhogam shot as I was losing the 2nd baby. I'm 39 years old and have been trying to get pregnant for 16 months. I have a 13 year old daughter who only took one try to conceive (albeit with a different partner and I was MUCH younger) but this "infertility" thing came as a total shock! We saw a fertility specialist this week so at least there feels like there's a plan for moving forward which is helping the grief enormously but this week, as I've finally been having the miscarriage I've known was coming for 5 weeks, the hormonal mood swings and crying jags have been trying and awkward when they hit me clear out of left field. All I can do is stay positive and keep praying that sooner than later this will come together for us as my husband does not have any children of his own, and think of how much sweeter the joy will be when our child finally does arrive...Keep the faith everyone.

Everyone's pregnant but me...

Everyone around me is pregnant! My best friend just had a baby, my husband's cousin just had one, my husbands co-worker is pregnant now. I want to be and I feel like's its not fair. Also, people judge you when your jealous. People think you have to be pregnant already to have an excuse to be healthy for the pregnancy, another wards people think its crazy I want to eat healthy, exercise, avoid taking medications but Tylenol. I've been trying to have a baby since April 2008, I got pregnant after a month and lost the baby at 6 weeks, still been trying this whole time and now it's Jan. 09' the month I was suppose to have our baby. This month is the first time I've taking any medication besides Tylenol and the first month I've not jumped to buy a pregnancy test, I feel like giving up but I'm not going to I know I will not. I just feel like if I do like everyone else and forget I'm trying kinda I will get pregnant, I feel like taking a pregnancy test just causes my period to come within an hour or a day (it's bad luck it feels)

Question about ovulation-pinkish discharge

I just started charting by BBT, looking at discharge and keeping a calendar since randomly doing the BD over the last year has not worked. I have noticed the last two months that I have a pinkish discharge around the time that I am ovulating (or supposed to be). Is this normal? Is it just a sign I am ovulating or something I should be concerned about? Does anyone know what causes it? Does this mean it is a fertile time? Thanks for any advice and baby dust to everyone out there.

Knowing is a Relief...

DH (31) and I (28) have been trying since July 08. AS of today there is no baby... but there is hope. On Dec 28 I was diagnosed with PCOS. But was given great hope. With the proper medications and diet I should have no problems conceiving. I am now in a waiting game, I have to wait until my 21st day of this cycle for bloodwork to see which medication and how much of it will be of any help. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My OB/GYN did say that if I am not preggo by June then we should head to fertility treatment. When DH and I talked about this we just aren't in a place financially to do that so al' naturale is what we have to work with. I am excited about this month and especially next... Hoping with fingers crossed, head bowed, and many words of prayer. Oh and by the way every dog cat and girlfriend I have is preggo. One best friend, three ladies at work, friend from previous school ( who of course told me about three people she knew who were, oh and did I mention my dear sister (who wasn't even trying)!!!

Am I the Only one?

I've been reading all of the "TTC Frustration" Story's and I'm shocked at how they all seem like they are coming from me.
I'm 24 and My Husband is 22, we were married on Valentine's Day 2007 and have been trying since March 07 so we've been trying just 2 months shy of 2 years...
My husband is in college and has 8 months left until he graduates so we can't afford Fertility Doctors and Meds.
I've Charted, I've used Ovulation Predictor kits, I've tried the BBT charting, I've tried "Not trying" but nothing is working. I'm getting frustrated and depressed about it. My husband seems just fine and it never bothers him, and when i show that it bothers me, he gets upset.
It's Got so bad that i had a emotional break down when i found out my husband's cousin was pregnant. I threw all my baby magazines and everything baby related in a box (while bawling my eyes out) and put it in my closet so i couldn't see it anymore. Last Sunday night at our church a women who goes there brought her new born baby girl to church. I did the best i could to be strong, but the paster was talking about what a blessing she was and all this stuff through out his sermon so it got very hard not to cry, then at the end of the service I felt like was going to break down in front of everyone if i didn't get out of there right then, so i rushed out before anyone had the chance to shake my hand. My husband got very upset at me and tells me i need to stop acting like a child, and that i won't get pregnant until I "grow up"
I geuss I thought i was the only one that took TTC so hard, Am I being childish and immature for reacting so badly to babies and pregnant women? It just...hurts so bad.
