How Long Have You Been TTC?

[daeg]

It's been five years and two months for me. I agree with you about the special days being hard. Xmas was a nightmare this year. Christenings, communions, confirmations, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, anniversarys. It is just never ending. They are all about families.I was just so depressed when I came home after spending Xmas with the in-laws, loads of children running about everywhere and then coming home to the empty house.
Sometimes reading this link makes me feel at least a little bit normal or a least that I'm not totally crazy.

2 years ntnp almost 2 years trying hard. Seeing fertility specialist next week for first time. It's such a difficult road. Fell pregnant almost 18 months ago but sadly ended in misscarrige.

Thank you for that link. Next time someone makes a bad comment, I'm just going to send them an email.

That's a great link daeg! I'm going to share it with the people close to me who've done all of those things at one point or another, and without meaning to, have hurt me.

Thank you so much for the link to that article! I have heard from so many friends that I need to "relax" and just quit trying and it will happen... I absolutely hate hearing that advice! People don't understand that I have to track my cycle days and take my medication at the right time, or I don't even have a chance to get pregnant, and honestly I don't feel like explaining it to them. I would love to be able to "relax" and get pregnant!
