Conception Frustrations?

I know that for some people my story seems like nothing but I personally find it frustrating. I am 22 years old and my husband and I have been married for just about two years now and we have never used birth control (it was if it happens it happens)but a year ago we decided to give it a honest try. So I went out and got a fertility monitor and I take a test every morning of the month and time things perfectly!!! it has now been a full year and nothing; not even a false alarm. My husband refuses to get fertility tested which in itself is frustrating as if it is a fertility issue I would like to know sooner rather than later.
And I can totally relate to the comments from family members, my mom always asks for a grandchild for Christmas, birthday, etc. while every time I talk to my dad he repeatedly points out that we should have children for at least 5 more years (urg! we both have successful careers with the government and own our house with a nice big backyard and have the income base needed to raise an infant).
Thanks for reading the rant!!

Hi all,

I am in my early 40,s and me and my husband have been TTC for over two years. So I can understand your frustration especially if you have no kids, but even if you do like us, it is still very frustrating. We have two boys 14 years(Adopted) and 7 years old. Sometimes I feel like it's wrong to want a baby at this age, but I do and so does my husband. We both feel and act young and the Dr says we are both in great shape, well I do have a bad back, but last time had a c-section. We are going the all natural route, but I am starting to think perhaps we might need a little help. Anyone in my shoes with the age thing or taking fertility drugs?

May God Bless you all!

I totally understand. My husband and I have been married for almost two years come October. Everywhere I turn, all my friends are popping out babies like it's nothing. I hear the same thing all the time so, when are you having a baby? Instead, I just reply when God say's it's time. I know that it get's frustrating at times, believe me I have cried many of times, over my period coming on or getting a bfn but it get's better. It just makes me work harder. Trust and keep your eye on God, he will bring you the desires of your heart when you least expect it.

I have been TTC for about six months now, and have been off of BC for over a year now. My friend flew in from out of town and all of us got together for a photo... all my friends and their kids relatively the same age, I find myself sitting on a bench with no kid in my lap. I am Married, for two years, going to school and doing the best I can financially to benifit my future children and everyone around me is having babies. I love all my nieces and nephews and get all the crtisism from family like you better catch up.. when u guys having one,,? Im sick of it!! the only one that doesnt seem very supportive is my mother in law, at a family get together I was holding one of the "million" newborns their and they started to cry so I handed her back to mom and she said dont worry you will know what to do when you have one of your own, my mother in law said, "well dont encourage her". I felt like screeming at her, and saying im the only one here that was responcible about every step I have made but all these underage, no job, no cares, girls that can pop babies out like no tomorrow, I CANT HAVE ONE? I held my breath and went home as soon as I could. anyone else need to vent come and talk to me. All I keep praying is that God, if it is your will to give me a child and it will grow to know and love you and you will protect it then I'm ready when you are. In Jesus name amen, ect.

I have been TTC for almost two years. I started my cycle at age 13 and always had irregular periods. At times I would go 2 or 3 months w/o a period. At age 17, I got PG and gave birth in 1990. Since 1990, I have been using BC ranging from the Pill, Patch and NuvaRing. I got married in 2006. I stopped using BC since the fall of 2006. My periods are still irregular. For example in March 2008 I had normal 4-5 day period. In April 2008 I did not get my period. In May 2008, I had my period for almost 2 weeks but it wasn't a regular flow, it was more like medium spotting. I've taken 3 test and all were a BFN. Am I going through menopause or something. Could the years of using BC affect my current conception chances?

Ok here goes (my story)... I graduated high school in June of 1998 and started working right away in January 1999 found out I was pregnant. When I told the JERK he of course denied that it was his. To make a long story short started seeing a new guy when 3 months pregnant who was a long time friend. We ended up marrying. He took my unborn child as his and put his name on the birth certificate as the father knowing fully that he was not. We divorced a year later cuz he was cheating and then started to beat on me. Met and fell in love with a man 11 years older. We split up and I spent from 2000 to 2004 raising my son on my own. I always believed ... if u love him set him free if he comes back its meant to be. I got on DEPO at that time because I did not want any kids. January 2004 had LEEP procedure done to remove cancerous cells on cervix. November 2004 this older man and I got back together. I stopped the DEPO at this time too. Last shot was in November of this same year. Tried to get pregnant and had fertility testing done. I am fine and so is he. Periods were all messed up from this birth control. January 2007 we got married. At this time OB/GYN put me on YAZ to straighten out periods. Didn't think it was helping so stopped them on my own in March 2008. Got period on my own April 23, 2008. Thought we hit my ovulation. Got period again yesterday May 27, 2008. Apparently did not hit ovulation like we thought. All we want is one together. Why is it so hard.
