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?

To Stress or Not to Stress
My husband and I have not been using any birth control for about 2 1/2 years. We have been seriously TTC for the last 6 months. I try not to pressure him (and don't feel like I do), but he says that me telling him when the right times are is pressuring.
How do we get on the same page? He says that he hates disappointing me every month that we don't conceive. How can I explain to him that he is NOT disappointing me--it's the situation.
I try not to stress, but think I stress about trying not to stress.
I don't know what to do. When should I seek medical help for fertility?
I would really appreciate anyone's comments and/or tips.

am I trying to hard?
Am I trying to hard to get pregnant? All I want to do is have a baby we try and try but nothing. I try around the days im ovulating. I've been tracking my fertility but we still can't get pregnant. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?!!

frustrations and everyone seems to be pregnant but
trying to conceive and it's taking much longer than I expected. We BD every other day and track ovulation, but has not worked yet. We are both young and healthy. I think the most thing that adds to our frustrations is that everyone we know seems to have kids or is already pregnant! Everywhere we look babies, babies, babies, makes it so much harder! Does anyone have any suggestions to help with the frustration??? Also, would you guys recommend Vitex even when i have regualr periods??
Best Wishes!!!

Crushed
I been trying now for 5 1/2 mos and nothing! I am 1 day late right now and tested this morning. However, it was faint 2 lines while the test was working through, but after the 3 mins wait it was just 1 line. I got excited for like 1 min and now feel crushed!

TTC Frustrations a year in
It is now a year TTC. I thought it would be so easy but was I ever mistaken. I had normal periods until Jan. 2010 and for three months my AF was lasting 16-18 days with heavy flow. Went to the ER found out it was stress and that I had fibroids. So I had laproscopic-exploritory surgery in April. Fibroid is the size of a baseball, not inside my uterus but on top of it causing a cave-in efect. Dr says I am ovulating and everything looks great but when I getpregnant I will have trouble with implantation and will it will be a high risk pregnancy for the 1st trimester. This was in April, he said go home TTC for 3 months if not pregnant by then come see me. I am now on month 3 of TTC. My husband is discouraged by all the insane planning I do and wants it to "just happen". Well me too but obviously that is not happening for us. I'm sick of hearing of others getting pregnant and thinking every month I am. People tell me not to think about it and it will happen. How do I do that?? My biggest complaint is my hubby not being on the same page as me with ovulation, its like I tell him these are the days we must BD and he gets mad he doesnt like to be on a schedule. So last month we did it his way I said nothing about TTC and guess what AF came today so I told him next month its my way all the way!
