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?

Conception Frustrations?
TTC for 17 months now
My husband and i got pregnant after only TTC for a month, we lost the baby after only 8wks. I havn't ovulated since then, that was 17 months ago. My Dr. is trying me out on some new medication which seems to be balancing out my hormones, but it's also making my hair fall out. I've unofficially been diagnosed with PCOS. To make matters just a little worse my brother and his wife and my oldest sister, and my best friend and his wife just announced that they're all expecting. I wanna be happy for them, but it just makes things hurt that much more. I can't help but to feel like I'm broken, or not whole....still trying to be patient and understand but am slowly loosing hope.

TTC
My husband and I married when we were both 32 years old. We conceived right away, but I miscarried 3 months in. He has 3 children from another marriage, but I don't have any of my own. It has been 1 year and 10 months since the miscarriage. I am now 34 and very discouraged. Every month I time things right and start to feel hopeful, but start my period right on time. We can't afford fertility doctors and meds, so we just have to keep trying. My period should start any time and I will be late in 3 days. Maybe..., but then again this has been happening for almost 2 years. I am trying to keep hope.

Waiting and wanting
Alot of people think I am too young and should wait. I am 25 closing in on 26, my husband 27 closing in on 28 and wishing hard. It is so easy for those who say "oh once you give up it will happen" well look at them. Prego or have a child. My husband and I both are waiting but when does the waiting become reality? And yes everyone around me either has a child or expecting. Even my sister in lawwho was not even trying. AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

We demand our BFPS!!
I empathise with everyone on this thread - I am 28 (Husband is 27) and having been TTC for 3 months. Its weird that I spent many years TAC and was sometimes worried that I might be pregnant, however now I'm happily married and TTC I'd love a pregnancy scare! Looks like theres some strange karma thing going on here!
But for sure the frustations are 1) the waiting ... a month used to whizz by, now a week seems like a year. 2) The symptoms ... trying to figure which PMS/pregnancy symptoms are real or are they in your head? 3) Babies and pregnant ladies everywhere ... they are on TV, the supermarket, the train and some people have twins and triplets and you just want one! 4) The day AF comes DAY 1 AGAIN! ... Trying to put a brave face on but secretly you just want to stay home and cry all day. 5) The loving husband/partner ... is it just me or are they the lucky ones as they seem so calm?!
Anyway, rant over ... day 7 today so baby dust to me this month and to everyone TTC xox
