TTC blues

I guess im just writing this to vent

I am feeling down, my husband an i have been ttc for the last 6 months. For the last 2 months we have done everything we have read about laying in bed with hips ontop of pillow for 20mins, not having laptop on hubbys lap, tracking fertility, to not having sex every day because it lowers sperm count. And yet still no luck. I know they say give it a year, an ive done good up to this point. Now though everywhere.i turn my friends an co-workers are now pregnant, are just had their baby, are talking about their little ones an it makes me sad. Bc i want that so badly I know that my husband an i are ready. We have a beautiful house an a happy life we feel like its the perfect time of any, which makes it harder. I know its in gods hands, an it will happen when its suppose to. Ill just keep my head up an keep on trying.

Uh-huh. You should stop putting your hips up because that's all bullshit and if it does anything it will be giving you a UTI. Also, even with perfect time you only have a 20% chance each cycle. I get that it's frustrating, but just keep yourself busy with other things. And get a blog. Seriously.

Thanks, ya ive been using a fertility chart, an ive also been taking prenatal vitamins. I also have a personal trainer who knows im trying to concive so we make sure im keeping my body in healthy condition. Your right though i should look at it as having 6 more months before i should really be concerned.

I know it can be rough. @jefa621‌ made a great point about you having 6 more months before you need to worry. Anybody who has TTC for more than a couple months has those kinda days so you're not alone. Hang in there!

The previous posters had some great advice. Definitely take advantage of temping and OPKs.

Good luck to you!

Everyone has hit on excellent points. I'm just going to add this: remember that this is your own journey and don't compare yourself to others. People will always get pregnant around you so don't compare yourself to them - them being pregnant has nothing to do with you getting pregnant - just remind yourself of that. It helps.

Edit: pluralizing is good

I just want to add, that even though you are still well within the normal range of TTC time frame, it is still valid to be sad and throw yourself occasional pity parties. This process can be so emotional and difficult at times and it is healthy to acknowledge your feelings. I also found the half way mark quite painful and it got better for me after that (I'm hitting the year mark this month). Good luck to you.
