Trying to conceive help? Feeling frustrated!!

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??
Me: 30 DH 28
TTC since March 2013
DH, SA normal count, slow swimmers
NTNP as of 7/1/14
Back to TTC as of 8/2014
1st RE appointment October 2014, everything looks good both of us healthy and normal
Clomid and IUI first cycle November 2014:BFN 
Clomid and IUI December 20, 2014: BFP 1/4/15!!

    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.

    https://fertilitycenter-uconn.org/make-an-appointment/

    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

    TTC since October 2012

    Went to OBGYN in August 2013-Referred us to UCONN RE in September 2013

    Me (31):  Blood / Ultrasound / HSG / SIS- All Great  -  DH (32): SA is very low

    DH met with Urologist nothing is "wrong" just very low count and low mobility

    RE 1st Consult October 31, 2013 - Male Infertility Dx.

    RE Appointment on 1/15/14-Decided on 1st IUI

    IUI Cycle #1-Clomid 50mg 2/14-BFN

    We decided to take a break for 3/14-4/14

    IUI Cycle #2-Clomid 50 mg 5/9-BFN

    IUI Cycle #3-(RE Office called us in for a back to back IUI for another SA) 5/12-BFN

    *Husband's count is still very low post wash however after 4+ months on supplements, vitamins, and a healthy lifestyle (aka no beer)  his mobility has doubled! I am very happy for him, small victories!
