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?

live in the now

My first was not planned, actually I was on orthotricyclyn, and taking antibiotics, I did not know that this would reverse the effects. So my boyfriend at the time said ok lets deal with this... five years later I have a beautiful little boy who has started kindergarden this year, I am married to a man who loves us very much... not the father...the bio father decided not to hang around he "wasn't ready", no child support nothing! No happy birthdaycall, you all know the sad story, well now he is married with a new born that he sees everyday, and my husband, someone who has never had a child of his own, and I are still ttc after 2 years what happened there, the point is is that life never seems fair, right? Well thats just it, maybe life isn't fair for somethings, maybe we all get goods and bads, we just have to be thankful for what we can be and hold on to that, I am still looking at the calender everyday and praying every night, but I can't live like this anymore, we need to live in the now (while we keep trying of course!) I don't want to be so depressed from this so i tell myself I won't!

Out of Patience

My husband and I have been ttc for 1 1/2 years now. I was on the depo for 4 years. There was a couple times recently that we thought I might be just to be let down again. I had a cyst on my ovary that ruptured and I am worried that those types of things will prevent us from starting our family. I have been having normal periods again and I have had my physical and the doctor says that it will happen. People tell me that things happen for a reason and that it will happen when it is our turn. Hearing that all the time gets old. Everyone around me is pg. Everytime I turn a corner it seems like someone else says that they are going to have a baby. It is just seeming like it is more of a job these days to ttc. Patience is something I am struggling with. Does anyone have any insight to help me deal with this. I hope that all that are ttc, finally get what they have been wishing for.

Frustrated

Losing it, I know exactly what you mean. I think every girl I know has been able to get pregnant except for me. My husband and I have also been TTC for 3 years now. I'm 27 and I dont know what the problem is. It is sad to see all your friends getting pregnant. Early this year I had a frind give birth in Feb, then another friend in April. My best friend found out she was pregnant in May and my co-worker found out she was pregnant in June. So you can imagine how I felt. I also hate when people say "Dont worry, just dont think about it." No matter how much you try not to think about it you think about it. Sometimes I feel like they are throwing it in my face. Do you all think that I am exaggerating?

Loosing it

My husband and I HAVE BEEN TTC FOR 2 1/2 YEARS NOW, We have been thru all the testing and they have found nothing, I cant explain how horrible I feel every month when the witch shows or how for the last two years everyone around me has their first and now their seconds are on the way. I feel alone and I cry alot. We had great insurance that covered everything and now dh switched jobs and our new insurance covers nothing. So I feel like I have ran into a wall and I have just about no hope left. I have tried clomind for the past 12 months and that did not work, Ifeel like I will never have children, I try my hardest to stay positive but how do you do that? I hear the same thing from everyone "It will happen" I hate when someone tells me that. How do you get thru this?

Really wanting a 2nd after using the Mirena but no luck yet!

Our son who is 2 1/2 was unplanned and a big surprise. After being engaged for 3 years we set a date for our wedding and 2 months after that and 2 months before the big day we found out we were expecting. We had used over the counter contraception and in the 6 years we were together we never had any problems. I guess we finally decided we may not be able to have children. I looked at it as a sign from God that we were truly meant to be married. After giving birth I used the shot for 6 months and gained weight from that I switched to the mirena. I was breastfeeding and having no periods and never had one after that. In July/08 I had the mirena removed and a period 1 1/2 weeks later, next period was on track and then the september one was 38 days from first day to first day. I have now not had one at all in October and going on 44 days w/o one. Have taken tons of pregnancy tests including early ones each cycle and they all come up neg. We are really wanting another baby but are having no luck. We haven't told anyone besides the Dr that we are trying as both families would be thrilled but would be asking everyday. They already ask when we are going to start trying and it has been getting me pretty worked up lately as we are having no luck. I keep thinking to myself that something is wrong with one of us. In particular me as my periods are totally messed up and not having much luck at all researching the mirena. Has anyone else ran into any problems with mirena? Or know of anthing that would be good info about conceiving after? I think it's hardest because we didn't try for the first one and my husband was the one who wanted to start trying again now. I keep worrying that this is going to start causing probs for me and my husband if it doesn't work soon. We try constantly and I try to keep it from being a job as it seems like sometimes. I have heard that stress, weight, uterine lining and much more can cause delay's. Please send your thoughts.
