Conception Frustrations?
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?

Pregger's blues
I can sing the 'I cant get preggers blues', I did it all, tempting, ovulation sticks, vitamins, vitex, primrose oil pills (or whatever they are called).
And NOTHING! I can relate to the frustration, depression and sadness of getting a negative after peeing on a pregnancy test stick.
I also became compulsive on reading every little symptom my body had (or I thought it had) as a sign of being pregnant.
I recently had an HSG (dye test to check if your tubes are open) and after thinking there was something definitely wrong with me, it came out that all is good in the baby factory in me. Still have to go thru the hormone blood tests and sperm counts and all that happy crap.
But if you look online for HSG's, all sites say that there is an increased chance of getting pregnant after the test, because they might clean out your tubes and anything sticky that made your little eggs not go where they are supposed to go.
Now, I am compulsively reading fertility blogs and making statistical samples of women (real women with real stories) who had the HSG and got pregnant afterwards, I want to know how soon afterwards, and I want to know their symptoms, I want to know if they were able to carry the baby to terms.
Is this healthy? I am driving myself crazy with this?? (no need to answer since I can tell I am going crazy).
Why has this to be so difficult, you spent your 20's avoiding getting pregnant and then you pray every day in your 30's to get pregnant... isnt that ironic??

Lying on my back with my legs in the air...again
Since TTC I have been googling ovulation, fertility, the best ways to have sex to get pregnant, junkie! I can't stop! I'm completely obsessed with my cervical mucus! I quit smoking. I gave up coffee!!! I've been taking vitamins eating healthy and exercising.
I admittedly just quit the coffee a month and a half ago and started exercising at the same time. I decided to not quit feeling hopeful. Every month during the two week wait I make myself crazy trying to interpret my physical symptoms PREGNANCY or PMS??? I get depressed when I test negative and more depressed when I get the period.
Aside from quitting smoking and coffee I started drinking green tea, about 4-5 cups a day. I've been reading that green tea doubles your chances of conception if you drink a cup or more a day. I think all of my habit changes caused me to ovulate early this month (per my obsessive CM checking habit)! And even though I don't want to set myself up for depressing dissappointment when I don't pee a positive, I'm feeling good because I had some spotting and mabye it was implantation bleeding!!!
I feel better after venting! I know my husband is sick of the words cervical mucus! Anyhow The best to all of us trying to make a little miracle! Keep hoping!

How much longer?
So, it's been 8 months of trying now, and what do you think??? NOTHING,of course! Last month i even made myself think it might of happened, wanted to do an early pregnancy test, then i thought, i will just wait. Honestly, i don't understand how some people get pregnant so fast or even from a one night stand? I just can't comprehend that right now, it's like, yeah, pregnancy is a great thing, but for everybody else, not you!
I even went to the doctor and did some tests, and everything came normal. The doc said, nothing to worry about, at 27 you are still young, we don't suspect infertility problems unless you are over 35, so just keep trying...
I guess my husband is next in line for testing!
It's really frustrating when everyone around me is pregnant, my cousin who got married a year or so ago, has a 2 month old daughter now? How long did it take her? 2 months! I couldn't believe it!
So, this is how it goes- i am kinda getting tired of it, i am thinking to just focus on something else, and see what God has in store for us!
