Question

me and my husband are young (25 and 30) we eat well, dont smoke, dont drink and exercise regularly. we have a good life and medically we both seem fine.
we have been trying to have a baby since february this year but no luck so far and its starting to get a bit depressing for both of us everytime my period turns up,
and now my 2 best friends are pregnant, one cousing and 3 women at work are all pregnant almost one after another.
WHAT THE HELL !

I feel terrible, anyone else been through this ??

Answer 1

Must seem awful hon, But you have excellent hope considering your great health etc. It isnt uncommon for couples to try for up to 2 years before they start tests etc to find out if there is a problem. (my first took 7 months to happen) If you hav regular periods and dont over do exercise it looks well. Get on some pregnancy vitamins to begin with and relax.....trying for a baby is a pleasure not a chore...though it probably seems hard with all the people around you.
You are only actually fertile for 1 day a month.....sperm can survive up to 2 days inside so that gives you a total of 5 days in which to concieve. If you have an irregular cycle make sure you have sex everyday for a better chance. If it is regular the days are usually in the middle of the periods.
good luck

Answer 2

Hi, I know what your going through, me and my partner are going through the same thing and have being trying for 14 months. We are currently going through tests but so far we are being told everything is fine. I do believe in staying positive, I was getting more and more stressed everyime my period came, so much so, it was making me ill. You have to believe that one day it will happen, it may just take longer than you first anticpated.
I have just purchased some ovulation sticks and also a " basal body temperature themometer " and have been told to start taking my temperature first thing in the morning and make a record of the reading. This will give me a better idea when I am most fertile. Maybe you could give that a try.
Please try and stay positive. It will happen for us both, Im sure xx

Join the club, I have been trying from 4 years now, but really put it in affect January, Diagnois with PCOS, did 3 unsuccessful rounds of clomid, now 3 of my friends are pregnant 5 just had baby, 2 of my younger cousins are pregnant, every where I go someone is pregnant, I no how you fell, and I am getting so frustrated with this, allI can say is try going to your gyno and get a check up

Answer 4

Yep, Im right along with you. My hubby and I have been trying for a year and nothing yet. We're also young to I just turned 21 and hes 23. We also dont smoke or drink, we eat well etc. I guess we just have to wait it out. But I know how you feel about seeing other women pregnant, it breaks my heart to. Just try to keep your mind of it, easier said then done I know. What I've been doing is baking and surprisingly it kinda works. Just dont stress because it makes it worse. Good luck to you!!! *BABY DUST!! *

Answer 5

Oh yes, I tried for 4 years before picking up the courage to see the dr. After a few investigations it was discovered i had blocked tubes and DH had low motility (eg they didnt swim that great). His solution was early no more alcohol and boxers. I underwent a treatment of acupuncture and herbal teas and plotted temps etc. Anyway after 7 years I finally have a lovely baby boy. My message is hang in there it is completely hell but worth it in the end. Go and get yourself checked out although many drs wont do it til after a year of ttc.

Answer 6

Yep me and my husband have been through it!! Im 26 hes 33 and like you were both fit, we started trying again in mid 2004 and just as were approaching 10 months of trying we decided to get checked in the hospital to check all was ok,he was fine then it was my turn and the day before i was suppose to go i found i was pregnant,im sure its because we took the pressure off for those few weeks and it just happened,it will happen just dont stress about it,we are now trying for our third and its taking forever!!!! Good luck xx

Answer 7

i have been going through this for two years. it seemed like everyone i knew was pregnant and i wasn't most of them accidental. all i could do was go hey why not me but then i realize the reality of it. what makes me soo special that right when i want something i should get it RIGHT NOW. so i have been patiently awaiting my turn and eventually it will come. i just try to stay positive think of it this way...the longer it takes the more you get to...try if you catch my drift. that's the fun part lol! Good Luck and keep trying it'll happen!

Answer 8

Have you tried taking prenatal vitamins and buying an OPK?
I know how you feel me an DH have een TTC for 19months and all these people close to us seem to fall pregnant so easily, which sucks cause you dont even want to hear or see a pregnant woman beause it makes you feel so depressed.
your not alone. Good Luck an tons of baby dust :)

Answer 9

It will happen.I have been through that and now 4 weeks and 4 days.
Just make sure both of you get tested by a gyn to be sure your all right and in case of any problem then the doctor can deal with it.My problem was ovulation,so i took clomid and last month was my third and last round,now pregnant.

Good luck to you.

Answer 10

Stop trying to figure out when the right time is. Stress can turn your body into a hostile place making conception is difficult. When my husband and I decided we were ready for kids, I quit the pill and did nothing more. I didn’t track when we should; we weren’t even that adamant about frequency. We just took the prevention out of the equation and let it happen.
