JandJ, you will survive another 5 cycles is need be. My first child was concieved in 6 months of not trying. He was a surprise. I quit nursing him, had one cycle and boom, pregnant with my daughter. Then waited a little over a year for number 3. Wanted a 2 year gap. It was so easy to get pregnant with the other 2. Well not this time. I used opk's and temped. It took me 12 months of actively trying!! It was hard to keep going. Had my third son. Then when it came time for my daughter it took 11 months of actively trying. I get done nursing her have 1 cycle and boom, pregnant. My husband was supposed to get a vasectomy the next month. I actually miscarried and had to have a d&c. That was last december. It made me feel like I had another baby waiting so I immediately started trying after the d&c. I tried for 8 months of crazy testing and lots of discouragement. I finally gave up in september. Got rid of all my daughter's baby clothes and baby items. Was completely content with 4. I felt done and really good about it. No opk's, no temping. Jumping up to go to the bathroom and clean up right away. I even was extra careful when I thought it was ovulation time the last couple months. Was getting ready to discuss husband's vasectomy again before the end of the year for insurance reasons. Well got a few weird symptoms I only get when pregnant. I swear I felt the baby implant one night and thought no way. Well yep. I am now pregnant. I had just lost about 12 pounds and with 3 of my pregnancies, the last ones, as soon as I decided to try to lose weight, I would get pregnant within a month. I joined ed weight watchers. Lasted a month and pregnant. It seems if I lose just 10 pounds I get pregnant. I think I have developed a bit of insulin resistance. Anyways, good luck. Hand in there. The quickest I ever got pregnant was the times I wasn't trying. I know that is hard. Stressing about getting g pregnant raises your cortisol levels which can mess with your whole hormone system.
