The "carborundum" phrase is pseudo-Latin nonsense.
If you want to express your meaning with real Latin, use this..

- Ne aspernandi animos tuos affligant.
(Don't let the despicable ones get your spirits down)

I've always thought that the common practice of referring to people from the Spanish-speaking parts of the Americas as "Latin" was a bit strange. Strictly speaking, it's not accurate. The Latins – the founders of Rome – were the ancient people of the Italian region of Latium, known today as the Italian province of Lazio. If anyone can lay historical claim to the name "Latin," it should be people of Italian descent, rather than people who live in former Spanish colonies and speak the (Latin-derived) Spanish language, but who – in many cases – have little or no heritage from Italy or anywhere else in Europe. Every bit as odd is the practice of describing such people as "Spanish" just because that's the language they speak. You certainly wouldn't get very far trying to call an Irishman "English," I assure you. Strange world we live in.....

Come on Dave, that sucks and isnt at all funny.
I think you might find the answer is
Illegitimi non-carborundum
Carborundum is not true latin, so probably why you had a hard time finding it.

But have a look up at this meaning for a giggle.....
incidere quod crustulum non derideo
Does quite translate to what I want it to say, but you'll understand!

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

The most authentic joke Latin for this is "noli illegitimi carborundum". The U.S. general Joe Stilwell quoted it during WWII, but it is said that he learned it from British military intelligence. Later versions with "non" or "nil" are less authentic.

But for proper Latin, see zlevad above.

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/171f0
