Conception Frustrations?

My DH and I have been trying for about 8 months. Since then almost eveyone we know is pregnant... Last night a girl I work with who didn't mean to get pregnant, who smokes, drinks and eats badly announced she was pregnant. I'm giving up on being good - I've led a saintly alcohol and chocolate free life for about a year and zip!

i think that pretty much the worst thing for me is that im a woman who has always taken exceptional care of my body, ive never smoked a cigarrette in my life ( or smoked anything for that matter), i dont drink very much, ive never done drugs, all for fear that i would hurt what god wanted my body to naturally be..so the absolute worst is when i see young girls who constantly do drugs and party and never sleep, and they sleep with some guy they dont even care about and then get pregnant..that hurts so badly because here i am, with a man i love and am spending my life with and we BOTH want a baby very badly and have been trying actively now for 7 months straight and still im not pregnant.

i think its quite possibly the worst thing to hope every month that "this is it, this is the month it will happen" and then you feel those symptoms that you know cant be anything other than pms..and you try and tell yourself its not pms, and then you get your period and it starts all over again next month, and its especially bad on months where your period is even a day late ( mine was this month) because it gives you this crazy, happy, giggly feeling of hope only to be crushed by seeing that first drop of blood.

at this point though im trying to be optimistic even though what i have written doesnt sound so cheery! i saw my doctor and she said that at my age ( 21) that my fiance and i should be pregnant with in a year,counting the 7 months weve already been trying.so i keep telling myself over and over in my head that with 7 months down, there's only 5 to go and 5 months is not a long time! i just keep praying, hoping to god that he and i will be the average just this once and that we will be given the amazing gift of a baby very soon because we would both love it more than anything in the world.

I have been trying for the last 3 years. I have gone through surgeries and all. Still nothing, it seems as if everytime my phone rings somebody was annoucing they were pregnant. I'm really not a selfish person but I tell you what I wish that it was me making that special annoucement. At times I feel like just giving up.

got my tubes untied in april 07. okay so i know i am rushing things but prior to this i was fertile as can be. I started trying already in june (okay maybe not trying, but slip-ups) and NOTHING!! I dont want it to take for ever. Anyone had a long drawn out experience after a tubal reversal??

It seems more like everyone around me is pregnant. I found out I was pregnant about 4 months ago, and ended up having a miscarriage, so we've been trying ever since. it seems like when i didn't want to be pregnant i was, and now that i'm ttc i can't seem to get pregnant to save my life.

In the same boat. I started trying to get pregnant like six months ago but got off birth control about 10 months ago. Since trying to get pregnant my menstrual cycle which is normally 30 long with a 4 day period has gone from 36 to 23 day and my period is lasting 3 to 5 days. I talked to my doctor and they told my to just take both extermes and try every two days of each of ovulation. I guess I am just really suprized because I got pregnant with my son while on birth control so I just figured it would be like one month of trying and boom I would be pregnant and when it didn't happen I was shocked. but I understand the frustration with a wacky cycle while trying to get pregnant cause how are you supposed to figure out ovulation.
