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?

Frustrated

my husband and i are completly frustrated with trying to conceive we have been married for eight years, and been trying for four years.. I have had a lot of expensive testing done on me, and every doctor comes back and tells me my test look great.. The only thing is that my cycle is not every month..AF comes every 41 days or even later.. That part is very frustrating when I dont know when I am ovulating.. All my friends are on their 2 and 3 child already, and they don't even try and get pregnant.. Everybody is like quit trying and you will get pregnant.. Okay that is the hard part, how can you quit trying when you want to have a baby so much.. We will keep trying until we conceive..

IF stinks!

My DH and I have been trying since Feb. '08 (for 32 months now) and have not had any luck whatsoever. My cycles are mostly normal, although I am an elementary school teacher and subject to job stress on occasion, leading to some abnormal length cycles. My cycles have varied rom 29 days to 40 days (with most being about 31-32 days). I have been tested for hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems, PCOS, etc., and have had NOTHING wrong with me. "Just relax!" says the doctor. Hard to do when you're nearly 32 years old and everyone who graduated from high school in the same year is on baby #2, #3, or even #4. I have had a (former) friend who is currently expecting #5 and who gets easily pregnant ask me, "What, you've been trying for two months and you're still not knocked up yet?" (!!!!!!). Since then I have taken her off of my Facebook friend list because all she does is complain about her older babies and brag about the new pregnancy. Likewise, my sister has two kids, and all she does is complain about what is wrong with them--illnesses, asthma, behavior issues, etc., and almost hardly ever brags about any of their accomplishments--ever. Those poor kids are going to be in therapy when they are older because it's clear their parents don't appreciate them. But my DH and I are childless. Never have been pg. Never have I seen the positive pregnancy test. NOTHING. On top of it all, DH is disabled and already has that working against him psychologically--so IF has hit him very hard. We're approved to adopt, and now there are no babies available to adopt. We're taking it very hard and I go through a depression every time AF arrives. At least our parents don't pressure us, but I personally can't stand it when even other women going through IF get pregnant and I don't. :(

How do you stay hopeful?

Husband and I have been trying for about 10 months, diagnosed w/PCOS about 7 months ago. Been on Metformin since then, and have had 3 cycles of Clomid (on day 14 of my 3rd Clomid cycle today) and so far no luck. Seems like every month when my period comes, it just kills me. I dont know how I can stay hopeful and positive, hopefully I can get some advice here. My husbands sister and aunt have both recently had babies, and everyone is ALWAYS asking us when its our turn. I have no friends who have been through this, and just feel really alone; isolated. Any insight on how I can stay sane would be much appreciated :)

So sad yet so hopeful

Well me and my wonderful husband have been trying for about a year and a half to conceive after the miscarriage of our daughter but to no avail. We have been to our doctor and I was recently diagnosed with PCOS.. and my doctor has started me on progessterone. But after the careful calculations and medication each test still reads a Negative. It about breaks my heart everytime.. im just so frustrated that so many of our friends and aquaintances are having these "accidental" pregnancies. And I see so many mothers with 4, 5, 6 kids with no means or support to care for them and I can't be blessed with just one?? Am i the only one who feels like this? please tell me im not

Laparoscopy on the 20th Sept Advice needed!

Need some advice been ttc for 2 years now, had a laparoscopy on the 20th of Sept which shows that I have a better than normal pelvic region (I am quoting the doctor here) husbands sperm is great and I am ovulating like clockwork. Haven't had my follow up appointment yet (It's a long story that involves a beautifully timed redundancy for me, basically I am away training for a new job when my app was booked for) Can anyone hazard a guess as to what the next step for us will be? I am in the UK so will be relying on the NHS which always slows things down somewhat. I am concerned that the Doc will just tell us to go away and try for another year as they all say that I am young and have plenty of time??!! I will be 32 in May which when all your friends are on 2 or even 3 babies doesn't feel so young. I was also due my period on the 29th of Sept and haven't had anything yet? Know this is probably normal but just wondering if anyone had any idea how long it takes to get back on track? Big long story sorry, thanks for reading xxx

Don't give up

Having read a few stories I thought you needed a bit of hope...My partners sister and her husband have been trying for a baby for 6 years with nothing but 11 miscarriages under their belt they were losing hope. Last month she gave birth to a beautiful healthy little girl. We sat and worked out that she concieved around the time her dad died last year and a baby was the last thing on her mind. I guess what i am trying to say is don't give up hope and it will happen when you are least expecting it. And have a bit of fun, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Good luck x x x
