Dear Jenni,
Please try not to think that way. You haven't been trying long enough to "hate your body" and to "not be able to look at your son". That is a bad place to get to and it sounds as though even though you really haven't been trying that long, you're getting into a bad spot within your mind. Stress only hinders your efforts. Many people are trying for their first for years and can't even get pregnant for some reason or another. Please try to relax and try not to take "trying" so seriously. It's supposed to be fun, not a job! LOL! Take care of yourself and your beautiful son. It will happen for you eventually, sometimes these things take time. You're all in my thoughts..

Encouragement to all..... I have been trying 9 years and no baby .. I am 29 and PCOS with one ovary. It hurts my husband and I, but we have become closer and I hold on to the faith that my mom tried for 7 years with all kinds of IVF and other treatments provided by NIH specialists. She gave up, stopped all treatments..... and started praying... that's why my name is Chinyere .. it means "God Gives" in Ibo. Hold on to the faith that "God Gives"

Hi Deedee and everyone. Felt the same,for me and my hubby had been trying for a long time, but since I have tough schedule and I couldnt wait for nature to change its mind, I did seek for dr's help. Starting residency next yrs,so I have to have baby bfr. Got Clomid and it worked miracoulosly, none of us expected it.So if U are tired of waitig to conceive naturally try to get yr doctors help. Saves a lot of stress and frustration.

To Dee Dee.... I am sprinkiling BABY DUST to you right now, I feel in my heart that you will be pregnant soon. I know it's hard but just be patient it will happen.Lots of love to you and your fiancee. ~Good Luck~

I.ve had an abortion at 14 and now that i want a baby at 19 its so hard i had a misscarriage at 9 weeks in october and i want to know why some people can get pregnant just like that and some it takes forever ?

i have been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and we always have unprotected sex, and i was wondering if there is something wrong with me that i am not getting pregnant?

Will painful periods stop me from getting pregnant ?

I feel the exact same way girls. The only thing different is, my husband is not ready yet. We have one son. He turned 3 in march. I want another baby so bad. Anytime I try to mention anything to do with me wanting a baby, he gets mad. I just can't help it. My sister had a baby last april, and is pg again. My stepsister just had her second child a month or so ago and my sister-n-law just had a baby. It's just not fair. I used to be on the depo shot and it was my decision to get off. I had heard so many things about it and I no longer wanted to be on it. It has been nearly 8 months since my last shot. My husband told me recently that he was considering having another baby but he does not want me talking about it. He does not want me bringing it up. Our 3 y/o son has even mentioned wanting a brother or sister. What do i do? How can I not talk about having another baby when I want another baby so bad? Someone please help me.

I got so depressed because of not getting pregnant and I found out that my sis in law is pregnant. I am so upset

I've been trying for 18 months, and was getting so down about it. But I've kind of taken charge - I've designed a chart for my temperature, and I'm keeping records on sex, mucus, cervix, emotions etc, and I feel more in control. I can see and understand more. People say that I'm getting to factual about it all, it's natural! But if it does't happen naturally, then I want to understand my cycles more. It's really exciting plotting your temperature and reading about drinks to thin your mucus and the idea of having an orgasm with 20 mins of him having one! Good luck to you all!

I have been ttc for almost two years. In the next few months we will be trying iui if we aren't pregnant yet. I am very depressed. All of my friends are pregnant and I cry whenever AF arrives. It is very hard. I feel like I am dying inside. I think infertility is one of the most painful issues to work through. I guess we all just have to stay positive as best we can and do whatever we can to stay in control. Baby dust to all.

First things first. R U experiencing any pain? If so, have a sonogram and blood work done. If that appears to be normal, u should have your fiance get tested to see if his sperm is ok.

i know exactly how you feel... im in the same boat... and am still trying!.. the biggest thing is that u need to keep a positive mind in place.. because being depressed and stressed out.. isnt going to help your chances.. do some re search on getting a healthier mind and body!.. and hang in there babe!!.. : )

i can relate. my husband an i have been trying for 6 months. still nothing. i am 36 and worried time is running out

I understand i am at that point as well...it is gonna be 8 years in august for us, i am depressed and have dreamt of being a preant for the longest time know to be let down evey single month, and i am a teacher for nursery school i always say those are my kids til i have my own. and i keep hearing my friends get pregnant and it is never me. and i get my period right on time. and i always want for mothers day a mom to be card from my hubby, just a dream of mine. best wishes to everyone, think positive hard as it may be sometimes keep the faith!

me and my fiancee have been trying for eight months and havent conceved but every time i have a period i break down and cry and get really depressed. it seems every one around me is havinga baby and it is realy getting me down.
