How do you do this month after month?

I'm sorry it is more difficult this time for you. It's hard when you are mentally ready to have a baby, but your body won't cooperate. Just keep reminding yourself that you are still very early in the game, and maybe have a plan if you have not conceived in 6-8 months to try clomid or one of the first lines of treatment available. Keep in mind that even if you are facing troubles (and there is no indication of that yet) that there are many simple, relatively cheap treatments that can help you conceive if you need it. I know that doesn't make you pregnant, but it may help push some of your fears aside and help you recognize that this month is not the end. Good luck!

It's a hard thing, isn't it? We've been trying for 2 months too and this would be my first pregnancy...which is a little scary. He has 3 kids from a previous marriage. It's strange how this can weigh on our self-esteem. My husband is worried that he "can't" anymore and while I have more of a "it'll happen when it's supposed to happen" mentality, it still makes me wonder. Even though I'm more laid back about it, I can't help feeling my husband's pressure, especially when he says, "Why couldn't you be pregnant this month?" or "What are we going to do to get you pregnant?" making me feel like I'm the problem in the equation. I took my first pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. I guess I try to look at it like it just wasn't meant to be this month. I don't think anyone can help that flutter of excitement while they wait for the results. Maybe there is a scientific reason between you and your new husband that things aren't working as quickly. Maybe talk to your doctor and go through some tests. There's probably a way to help out the process once you know what's going on.

Honestly I simply do not let it get me down. Life is too short and I refuse to live mine unhappy!! I chart my BBT and use opk's, tried pre-seed, take evening primrose oil, take my prenatal every day and know that it will happen someday. I already know it doesn't come as easy for me as it does for others, but on the the really good side, there are no fertility issues for either myself or my hubby. It took 6mos to conceive our daughter, 10mos to conceive again (ended in miscarriage this last March) and here we are still TTC again since the mc -- currently in 2ww of cycle #5. I really try not to focus on it so hard but when you want something SO bad, it's pretty much all you can think of. Whenever you get your period, look at it as a "fresh start" for the new cycle and try and think of fun and romantic things you can do during your fertile time to make sex fun and if you can manage it -- spontaneous!!! Also, don't let hubby in on when you are ovulating or give away too many details UNLESS he asks. If it starts to turn into months, the more he knows, the more he make feel like a "machine" then it could get really ugly! Just really try to enjoy eachother and keep it REAL! LOTS of luck and sticky baby dust!

All I do is think about the ultimate outcome, our baby!! It is hard to try month after month, only to have AF arrive...but you just keep trying, because it's something you really want. Good luck to you, and remember a healthy couple may take up to a year to conceive, there is only a 25 percent chance every month that a woman will become pregnant, no matter how much BDing you do. Just go on with your daily life, because the more you stress about it, the harder it is to conceive. Stress can stop you from ovulating, and without ovulation it is impossible to become pregnant. Good luck!

It can take a healthy couple 6-12 months to conceive, and sometimes even longer than that, even though there is nothing wrong with either person. My best friend tried for 4 years before she fell pregnant with the most gorgeous little girl I have ever seen. What gets me through is thinking that every unsuccessful month that goes by, brings us one month closer to success, as it obviously takes a while to conceive. It's hard, but we're troopers, and we are strong enough to endure the TTC journey. Good luck to you, and here's all the baby dust in the world for you, and all of us TTC. May we all get our BFP VERY soon :)

You just have to keep trying. I had been trying to get pregnant for two years before i actually got pregnant. You should google ovulation calendars and fill in the correct information and it will give you the days that u ovulate, to insure a better chance of getting pregnant. You are always more fertile two weeks before and two weeks after your period. I know some people who even got pregnant on there period, i guess if u and ur partner can handle all that, its ur choice. Good luck!!

Im with you on this, we have been ttc baby #1 since June and its the 2 week wait which is the worst part, it really is... My period is due on Sunday and I am really holding off doing a pregnancy test before then...im almost dreading the dissapointment if its another negative. its an on going cycle already and really we havent been trying that long at all...I never thought I would be like this as never really fancied having kids but now its all I focus on and its starting to get harder :(

Luckily I am past this now...have my beautiful miracle baby (little girl now).

I cried and then did something to nuture myself....whether it was the warm bath with exotic bath oils, a day trip somewhere beautiful, time spent doing my hobby, or just a really nice chocolate.

We tried for over a year with both of our girls and had one miscarriage in between. It sucks but if you want it bad enough you have to keep trying. Trust me it is worth the wait. I know how you feel.
