Can we chat?

None of my friends want children, so I can't really talk to them. My Mom doesn't think we are having a difficult time, which could be right. But won't even acknowledge that I'm having a hard time with this all.
We are on our 8th month of trying. I have told my friends and family every damn time that I'm always hopeful every month. That I don't get a little depressed until AF shows. Yet not a day goes by where I'm constantly told to "Relax!" "Stop stressing!" These responses usually comes into play after they badger me and ask "You pregnant yet?" "What's taking so long?".
Today, My Mom told me to stop stressing, when I'm not. I finally snapped and told her to do me a favor and read all those articles about What Not To Say To Couples Trying To Get Pregnant, because she constantly says them all! After that, my friend told me I'm a slave to my ovulation. I politely told her that that was the wrong thing to say. Some people are lucky and get pregnant having sex 6 days before ovulation, but I'm not one of the lucky ones.
Do any of you deal with this? I just wish I had someone close to talk to. I at least thought, my Mom would be understanding. Maybe it's because my family is filled with fertile myrtles, and they don't know what to say. But it still sucks!
