Trying to conceive help? Feeling frustrated!!

MrsP924

Hubby and I have been trying to conceive for a year now and still no luck! It's been frustrating and I am trying so hard to stay sane and be positive. I just found out my good friend who only has been trying for a couple of months just got pregnant with baby number 2. I want to be happy for her but part of me is just so angry and frustrated that it's taking us so long! Anyone else feeling this way??

Not feeling the same way right now but prior to having my LO we were trying for about 7 months and I was getting pretty frustrated (particularly when people kept asking "when are you two going to have kids?").  We used ovulation kits and after a few months of that, we were able to conceive. I would say if you arent already, try using those... and also start taking a prenatal... my OB recommended that to me. Hang in there, it will happen!!

HI @MrsP924, my husband and I tried for a little over a year and then I went to see my OBGYN because we became increasingly frustrated! She sent me for blood work which came back fine and my husband for a semen analysis. Turns out he has a low count which is genetic and there isn't much that he can do so we are now seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist at UCONN (Dr. Schmidt) which she referred us to.

I have a thread down below regarding UCONN Fertility center which you can read.

I'm not sure if you have seen anyone yet but if you have been using the ovulation kits for a long time and it still hasn't happened I would suggest seeing an Reproductive Endocrinologist. My biggest regret is not doing it sooner. I felt that something was wrong but everyone tells you to just relax and it will happen but it wasn't.

At right now I am being literally smothered by family members and friends who are pregnant. I know at least 10 girls who are due starting this week on through September and its extremely frustrating because I do wish it was us and its very painful. But I'm so glad that we found Dr. Schmidt, he is just truly amazing and I feel that somehow someway he will get us pregnant.

Also, I have been on the TTC board which you might be a good place for you to lurk and read what the other girls are going thru who are trying to conceive.

I wish you all the best luck, keep us posted xox

Sorry I am late to reply to this- just decided to come back on this board. Huge Hugs! I know exactly how it feels! I had many friends get pregnant so easily while I struggled. I saw a great doctor at Yale. If you want her info just let me know.
