It seems silly because we have only been trying for over a month and I know it can take healthy couples up to a year to conceive. I have this nagging worry that if it didn't happen the first month (we did everything by the book) that it may not happen at all. Irrational I know. Does anyone else feel this way???

I have a 2 year old, and when I didn't get pregnant the first month with baby #2, I started freaking out that I may have a fertility problem now. Totally insane, but I guess we women always worry. I got a positive a few days ago, so I was obviously wrong., Don't worry. Only 25% of our eggs are even good enough to be fertilized and implant correctly. So there are many months when it's not going to work no matter what. Eventually, you'll get a good egg.

I started freaking when we didn't conceive but trust me now that I have more knowledge of pregnancy I wouldn't worry about it sweetie and sometimes going by the book doesn't help you just have to love each other and have sex every other day and I bet it will happen real soon
My Story =
I had been trying to conceive for a year and 1/2 and had lost no hope until that day where they told my husband and me that he had less than a 2% chance of ahving a baby. I said screw you to the doctor and me and my husband left although I think my husband believed him I told my husband that I loved him very much and that we would continue to try and no matter what doctors and scientists said our love would make a baby because God will let it happen! A few months went by and we got pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a miracle! All our happy dreams came true! However, I miscarried at 5 weeks and was devasted. But we know he can have a baby. He really can no matter who tells him he is infertile they are wrong!!!!!!!!! We are supposed to wait 3 periods before trying again and it a couple of days is when I am due for my third period since our baby died. We will never forget how happy our baby made both of us when we found out about him or her and we will never forget the happiness we shared more than anyother day of our life that he can conceive. I cannot wait to try again. And I am up for the pain and heartbreak each month it doesn't ahppen because I know it will take a really long time.
You are probably not infertile but don't feel bad for thinking about it. You jsut want a baby and you will have one one day! I hope real soon! Thanks for reading my story I hope to pass it on to everyone so my baby will always be alive in our hearts and in someones mind when they think about how some people conquer infertility!

after seeing my husband's brother's wife get pg on the first try I was very hopeful. 9 mths later and still ttc it's alittle frustrating. I worry that there are big problems with either me or my hubby....but right now my LP is short so until that's taken care of (I'm trying vitex and b6) nothing else really matters because even if we are conceiving my body is not allowing the egg to implant into my uterus. So I just keep praying every day and night that things will work out. I truly hope by oct....when his brother and wife are trying for #2. I will be sooooooooo depressed if they get pg again on the first try and I'm not yet

I feel that way especially since I only have one tube from a tubal pregnancy last yr.But I know that tube is working because I got pregnant again and fell down some steps at work at 21 weeks and lost my son.And to me because I've always been fertile,although I only have one daughter she's 11 that was awhile ago when I had her,I was 20 and now I'm 31.Me and fiancee ben trying since April not long at all,I know but after the d&c in Jan I'm freaking out like did they mess something up,what's going on.So I think it is normal.PATIENCE,that's what my doctor keep telling me.Goodluck to all of us that's TTC.

Of course it's normal. It took me 4-1/2 years and thousands of dollars to conceive because I have PCOS. You'll get lots of advice from people who say "Stop worrying! Relax and it will happen." I'd just like to say that is the world's worst advice. Relaxing doesn't help someone with an actual medical problem to conceive! Good luck to you.

well, i have fertility problems, so does my best friend, so i don't think it is bad to be prepared for the worst. you should relax about this though, stress causes an unstable environment in the uterus. you have a 20-25% chance each month of concieving, if your still feeling these fears after 6 months ask the dr... if you can hold out wait a year. good luck!
