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?

Still Have The Baby Blues..
I am 28 yrs. old and have been TTC off and on for 3 yrs. now. I went to my OBGYN in 2007 and was hit with shocking news that it would take me longer to have another baby. She gave me pills to take to help my eggs fully fertilize, but those made me sick and nauseated. I have a 6 yr. old son and really would love to have another healthy baby boy/girl. It gets so frustrating because I'm only getting older and I would go to a specialist but the cost is too expensive. My mom took Geritol back in 1981 to help her to conceive with me. Does anyone know anything else that would help?

Possible miscarriages....low progesterone?
We've been TTC for three cycles. I always cycle like clockwork (28-29 days) and the last three cycles have run long...33-35 days with abnormal cramping. The first cycle, I got a faint positive but may have m/c. I didn't bother testing these last two cycles, trying to be patient and let nature show me. But I've had such awful periods that I can't help but think I miscarried all three cycles! I am very frustrated! I ovulate late in my cycle, about 11 days before AF, and I've read that could be a sign of low progesterone, which can cause early miscarriages. I am tired of the pain of TTC at this point because I am afraid it will never stick! Is there any natural ways of increasing progesterone? I don't want to go the medical route...I never trust doctors because there are always terrible side effects with what they offer. Any advice, ladies??? Thanks so much! *Mega TONS of baby Dust!!!*

Very Frustrated!!!
I am 35 and in Sept. I turn 36. My partner and I have been actively TTC since May '09. I had an HSG 2/10 and found out I had blocked tubes. That was so devastating but I was relieved that we found out so that we could fix the problem and move on. I had a laparoscopy 3/10 and my OB was able to unblock my right tube. She explained to me that I was able to get pregnant even though I had only one tube functioning, it was just gonna take us longer than usual. She gave me a return appt for 6 months. My thing is my age. I am so scared to wait that long because I know it is much more difficult to conceive after 35. I went to a healer (curandera in spanish)last week and she gave me a fertility massage and an herbal tea to drink until I conceive. She explained to me that it will help unblock my tube and also help with TTC faster. Only time will tell if this works. So my question for you ladies is do you think I should go see a fertility specialist and get a 2nd opinion or just wait the 6 mos. to see my OB? Baby dust to all TTC!!

Frustrated and sad.
I know exactly how you feel. My husband and I are only two months in, but my body just doens't seem to ovulate. I take OPK and they come out positive then my temp never rises. It is very frustrating.
To make matters worse my younger sister just announced she was preggo. I want to be happy for her, but a part of is just so insanly jealous.... Why not me... She's not even married.. These nasty thoughts always enter my mind.. It's just my jeolousy talking.
