TTC #1 in the Military

[Kallengrace]

I am 19 years old and am currently trying to conceive our first with my husband. We have been trying for over a year and so far all I've had is one chemical pregnancy. I really thought it would be easy to get pregnant, despite the fact that I have PCOS. I don't know why I thought this but I did even though I was diagnosed at 16 but at 16 you really don't listen to what the doctor has to say. I was on Clomid at one point but it made me so sick I had to stop.

At first ttc really wasn't stressful because we were newlyweds and were having sex all the time anyways but now things have winded down and we are starting to get discouraged, we keep having to take breaks in our ttc journey too as my husband is in the military. His job has him very stressed and lately we just can't seem to get in the mood! We are both stressed and sex has pretty much become a chore.

Did anyone else go through this? How did you revamp your sex life and make ttc a little more fun?

Hello! We are also a military family, and we have been having issue.

We started trying last year, and fell pregnant right away. That pregnancy ended in an MC, and since then we have been NTNP until last month. DH was starting to get so bothered by it, he began having performance anxiety and couldn't complete the deed. That is no longer an issue for us, and I am hoping we get our positive soon.

Have you gone and had a proper checkup from your OB about trying to concieve? Since you have been trying for over a year, they will begin testing to see how everything is working and if you are ovulating.

I have been and was prescribed clomid. I was able to be seen before a year since I have preexisting conditions that I knew made me not ovulate but it made me so sick I stopped. I've been tracking though and I am ovulating without it again but it just seems like nothing is working. We had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago and I think that really got my husbands hopes up and then it crushed us. Since then he's been so withdrawn and he never wants sex now
