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?

Conception Frustrations?
past the year mark
i stoped taking the pill in sept. of 2005 i can't say that we try every month but probally 10 months of the year and still nothing i have been traking everything and it all seems to be normal and i also went to the dr. in 05 and she said all was in tack. my sister inlaw didn't even have a boyfrind and married 3weeks before i did in sept.of 05 and her husband was gone alot for millitary and they already have a child that is about to turn 1 and she is very vocal about now trying for another although she just lost one a few months back. and me i can't even seem to get a late cycle. i am sick and tired of every one asking if i plan to have kids. i am not one to tell my friends or even family that i have been trying i just keep saying if it happends it happends. now i am a month away from turning 33 and if i can't do it by the time i'm 35 i don't know if i'll ever be able to keep up with a child. just started a new month for myself last sat. so i guess its time to hit the sac.again.

so much expectation
hey ive come to the point where ive nearly given up i had an ectopic pregnancy march/april and i have had previouse pregnancys i also have two lovely children but luckily i didnt need surgery and have both of my tubes but i had t wait for two normal periods before we could start trying again after what we had gone through we decided not to tell anyone because everyone got hurt last time ive just had my period so im not preganant after trying we was gutted although i was a day early which was unusual for me hopefully we will get there in the end but how much heartache can you take the build up the letdown the tears the depression you end up asking yourself is it worth it ...yes it is you want to complete your family and i want to make my bf happy has he has no children yet so much pressure .

Frustrations
I agree with Jenny. I was in the supermarket today buying a new test when the checkout girl commented on my purchase. She then proceeded too tell me about her miscarriages and failed attempts. I think she was just trying to reassure me that there are others in the same boat but it didn't really put me at ease. We have not told our parents that we are trying for a baby because we know we will be asked constantly for updates. It's some thing that we want to keep to our selves for as long as possible. Hopefully we wont have to long to wait before we get some good news.

Tubal Reversal Surgery in Feb 07
I had my tubal procedure in Feb 95 and had the reversal in Feb 07. We have been actively trying since March to no avail. The doctor has told me that it could take up to a year. The up and down rollercoaster every month has been something to deal with especially seeing so many other woman pregnant. The further away I get from the surgery date, the better it is to deal with. The false symptoms are the most aggravating part of the whole ordeal. I just had a cycle on July 4th so I am entering into that stage of ovulation again. I am going to enjoy my husband and the process from this point forward. I believe it will happen in God's time. For all those going through this, keep your head up!

I HATE waiting to test. I always test anyhow, even though I know it's too early and I get diaappointed. And why on earth do other women feel the need to tell you that they had miscarriages when you are pregnant? Do they honestly think that helps to set your mind at ease? I think not.

My Thoughts
That is so true, everyone around you seems to get pregnant but you can't. Both my future husband's mom and my mom are asking when are we going to make them gandparents; offering to do the neices hair to get practice and etc.
It's not really pressure in that sense, it just makes me feel crazy b/c we have been trying and we are both "soooo" ready to become parents and experience all the joys that come with it.
I have been to the doctor and my body is fine, she told me to keep trying for a year, that right there put more pressure on him to go get his sperm tested. I told him God will bless us when he is ready but we are both hoping thats its SOON!!
