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?

So frustrated, need help!
I have been TTC for approx 7 months now, and nothing. So i decided to track my cycles, and just when I think I may have a pattern, my period would come early or really late. I tried a few different ways and nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have suggestions to help?

Discouraged and yet still waiting...AF so disappointing
I am so discouraged. I know that it will happen when it is meant to happen, but it seems like everyone but me is expecting. My boyfriend is starting to show signs of disappointment each AF. I know it is just as frustrating for him. He has Crohn's and his meds as well as smoking are decreasing his little guys' stamina. I have a hidden cervix... What's next? I am crushed every AF as well. We have been trying, but seems like we can't pin point OV. Are there ways to stimulate OV? Been trying for over a year now and starting to lose hope.

Almost 4 yrs TTC...
My husband and I have been ttc for almost 4 yrs now. About 3 yrs ago I had taken a test that said i was pregnant. Went to the Dr. n they said i was as well. While waiting for my 1st appointment to arrive (about 1 month later) i started bleeding so i went to the ER. They checked me out n said that i wasn't pregnant n they saw no signs of it. I was crushed! She said that what probably happened was that i took the tests right after i had miscarried, which made it look like i was prego, but in fact not. We are still trying, and not sure if its him or me or neither. But every time i get my period i am secretly crushed. Does anyone have any advice, new things to try, or any suggestions????

Is it normal to take a while to conceive?
My husband and I just started TTC. My period started Dec. 9th and I tested positive for ovulation on Christmas Dec. 25. About 5 days ago I started having very low cramping, being extremely thirsty which is abnormal for me, and weird cravings/not very hungry. Well yesterday I started spotting very dark and I began to think it could be implementation spotting. Well today I started my period heavy so I understand what you are going through...very frustrating when those periods come and your TTC!

TTC w/ PCOS... What can I do to make it happen??
I have PCOS and i'm trying to get pregnant. January 2010, my dr. told me that i had PCOS and that if i wanted to have a kid it would be extreamly hard for me. That i would have to take medication and be watched carefully. I'm only 20yrs. old and My husband and I have been TTC for 2 months now. I'm trying to do everything right.
I have a few friends that also have PCOS and they've gottin pregnant and are due soon. They told me that they didn't have to go get on medication to help. I'm wondering and hoping that i won't have to do medication.
For thoes of you that don't know what PCOS is, I'll explain it just a little. I have irregular periods. ("My Dr told me") If i'm not on bc i can go us to 8 or 9 months without a period. You must be thinkin that it sounds great... but your wrong. Because i don't have regular periods, my eggs don't drop, thus they stay in my overys and build up. Causing me great pain when i do wind up having a period.
For the past 4 days I haven't been feeling like my normal self. Normally my husband and I only eat once or twice a day. But this week i've been gettin up, eating a huge bowl of cereal, which i haven't done since i was a little kid. I'm always dying for something to drink. And I'm sleeping for 12 to 15 hrs a day. Two days ago my face started breaking out and my breast are somewhat tinder to the touch. I get irritated about everything. I'm thinkin that I might be pregnant??? On this site it says that my ov dates are January 05 - 09. I've read that sperm can live in your body for 2 or 3 days...
I want to be pregnant. I would love to bless my husband with a child of our own and starting a family with him. I go to bed praying that i will have to chance to go through the merical of child birth. I'm starting to think there is no hope for me to ever do that for my husband. Please if anyone has PCOS and is TTC, or has PCOS and is Pregnant, some words of advice would be great.
