Conception Frustrations II?
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 II?
I think I angered the pregnancy goddess
Ok all, I am getting very frustrated and starting to think that I was not supposed to have babies (or even one). I am 35 and up until I met my husband I was not fond of being around children for extended periods of time and until my 3rd year being married, I never wanted to have a baby. Before I met my husband I was too busy with my career and social life to slow down for a kid. Funny thing is, I am actually ready to have a baby, and strangely something that I spent so much money trying to stop is so hard to start. Man, if I knew that having a baby was so hard, I would not have wasted my money on birth control.
I have been actively trying for the last 6 months, I have tracked my cycle for the last 4 years (initially trying to avoid the days I was ovulating, now trying to be there), and started chlomid 3 months ago. I have done tests, ultrasounds, and they all say that nothing is wrong with me.
I am going through so many emotions right now, frustration, sadness, confusion. What is wrong with me, have I angered the pregnancy goddess and cursed to wonder??? Should I give up...or do whatever it takes???

Whats going on here?
So Its now been 3 months of TTC but nothing yet.Just a little back round story about me I had a myomectomy(like a c-sectiontype surgery) in Nov 2009 to have a large fibroid removed from my uterus. luckly the OBGYN said it was in a good spot and there was not too much scar tissue when it was removed because it did not penetrate the inside on my uterus, anyway I was told to wai6 months before trying to conceice and we did,so now we have been trying for 3 months and nothing yet. So for the past 3 months I have been spotting for like 3-4 days like a bown color and some CM which at first i thought it was implantation bleeding but then AF shows up every time. this month was no exception she showed up again full force today after I had been spotting for 4 days . The first time this happened I went to the OBGYN and she said it could have been because I had just travelled by airplane and it could have been something to do with the pressure up there so a don't know anymore.
anyone have any ideas on what this could be. I mean they were just in there.
Thanx

Conception Frustrations II?
Reallly trying to concieve
I'm trying to concieve a child with my boyfriend who already has a child he wants to have one with me being as though this will be my first one. I've tried all the positions and at home remedies that my friends told me about and still nothing. I get really sad when I think I'm pregnant only to find out that I'm not & it's getting really hard for him now because he thinks I will leave him if I don't get pregnant (I won't of course) but I do want a child of my own. I want to experience the joys of motherhood in every since of the word. I just don't know what to do anymore to get pregnant yet I keep trying and hoping that one day I will be before my biological clocks stops ticking.

2 mc's and doctor not helping!
Hi, it's comforting, (yet depressing at the same time) to see so many people with the same frustration of TTC. My problem isn't TTC but holding a pregnancy. I've always been a let's not plan and see what happens kind of person in life, and it worked well for us my first pregnancy, no problems whatsoever, well other than the unplanned c-section. I got pregnant two years later, only to miscarry a few weeks later. My doctor said MC happen to 1 in 4 people so not to stress about it (easy for her to say, when I had already told my son he was going to be a big brother). We started trying for real after that and go a BFP in April, this time I held the pregnancy for one more week than the last time, but lost it again. I thought the silver lining was that my doctor would take me seriously this time, but she still doesn't seem at all concerned. I really feel like something is off and want to get to the bottom of why. I feel like my life is on hold, because I'm always making plans for the upcoming months assuming I will be pregnant and then I'm not etc... I started showing right away this last time and actually went out and bought lots of cute summer dresses for my cute summer belly... Anyone have any ideas for making the doctor take me seriously? I live in Canada, so it's free to see the doctor as much as you like and get almost any testing you need, so I'm thinking about making appointment after appointment til she just gets sick of me?

Stressful times
Hi everyone,
I'm 31 and my partner (31 also) and I have been TTC since Apr 2009. We got preg in Dec 2009 but had mis/c in Feb 2010. Have had irregular cycles until the last cpl of months. My question really is: How do you not stress about this - it is so easy to become obsessed. I know this is not really helping stressing over it. Just want to know other peoples stories or views/opinions? Thanks and good luck :)
