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?

Young and Restless for children.
It was devasting when the doctor told us, I had just not ovulated that month and that what was worse I would have to go on medication to start. I now had a period every 2 weeks and the physical strain was unbearable. Now it's September and for two months I've averaged 24 days. My period is so much harder on me these days and the thought of conceiving has become a sore spot in our marriage.
We want children so badly and after watching one set of friends welcome a little boy this past week (our 5th baby this year) and two more announce their impending arrivals, I just want to scream. I know it can take up to a year for a normal, healthy couple, but I can't even get my body to perform right, let alone conceive.
After watching my sister try for nine years with no luck, my fear is I will find myself in her shoes. Desperately wanting a baby, but unable to conceive. I know I'm young, but try telling your heart that. Everytime I see a child I just want to cry.
For those of you able to conceive immediately, bless you. I'm happy for you. But for the rest of us, there's got to be some relief. Maybe I'll find it now. Who knows.

TTC its just not happening.....
Its so frustrating because all of my friends are getting pregnant. And they arent even trying and they arent married and they dont even want a baby. They have all told me that it was shock to be pregnant and that they dont want to be preganant and they dont want to be a mom. So how is it that they can get pregnant with out even trying but those of us who truly want a baby have no luck? It seriously upsets me and they are all getting bigger and have baby stories and I find myself getting discouraged. And my husband keeps asking whats wrong with us and he is so down about it and it makes me feel worse. he wants to be a daddy so bad.
And family keeps asking when are yall gonna have a baby, they dont even know we are trying, no one knows. But they still ask and it hurts so bad when they pressure me becuase we are trying and it just hasnt happened. And I then I start to wonder if something is wrong with one of us... im only 22 and his only 24 so it couldnt be age. Im just scared that maybe it will never happen for me.
My whole lifes goal is to be a good wife and a good mother. Not a movie star or a model or anything like that, just a good wife and mother. I feel like my dreams are slipping further and further away from me.
But I do wish everyone the best of luck and I hope each and everyone of you is blessed with a baby!

Live for today as well as hoping for the future
I can relate to those ladies who say that some people tell them to get on with it coz they're getting older. Firstly, you can't plan when to meet the man you want to be the father of your children and also wanting it to happen doesn't make it happen so other people really should be more thoughtful when they pass comment.
We've seen the doctor and been checked out. Everything is ok with both of our bits so far and the next stage is to get my tubes checked. Of corse, it could just happen in the mean time. And as I'm learning, see the fertility doctor is no guarantee of success either.
I agree with all the previous posts in that ever since we've been trying it seems everyone around me is falling pregnant - whether they wanted to or not! Every month when my period is due I work out when the baby would be born and start to get excited. I read elsewhere about feeling the need to go to the loo "every trickle; every tickle" and its so funny coz that's exactly how it is.
I've come to realise though in listening to other women's stories, that there are worse things than not falling pregnant. Becoming pregnant and not going full term, or losing a child. And some women have had these things happen again and again. How awful.
My husband and I wish and hope so much for some children to make our lives complete but we shall be happy together regardless and grateful for the blessings we already have.
Good luck to all you TTC ladies! But don't let your life pass you by in the mean time.
