TTC getting me down, will it happen?

[20Milky11]

Hey Everyone, Really new to all this!

Me & my partner have been activly trying for around 8-9 months now and every time i come on it just gets harder and harder. I see people round me getting pregnant and I am begining to think theres something wrong with me. Ive been to see my doctor and she said Im find as Im young and should keep trying. My partner used to work with chemicals and im freaking out a little as im woundering if this could be something to worry about. He is due for a sperm count next month but we've been waiting for so long were just getting impatient now. Its the first time for both of us.

Im woundering if any one else is or has experiance the same or similar situtation. Really need a boost of confidence if anyone can help

Thank You

TTC longer-term is tough... you might be lucky and fall pregnant soon though, fingers crossed for you!

There are no words that make it any easier really, just try to stay positive and try not to worry too much until you've had some tests done (easier said than done I know!).

My OH and I have been trying since Jan 2010 so I know how crap it can be at times. My only real advice is have belief that it WILL happen one day. It might take a little longer than planned so try to enjoy life whilst you are trying and try not to get too down if it doesn't happen as quickly as you had hoped.

GOOD LUCK xxx

Hi there
We have been ttc since 2007 so my best advise would be to not wait. Just have some tests done and start looking into what you can do to help yourself. You know, nutrition /healthy fertility diet and exercise are some of the most powerful tools you have to become fertile and that goes for both you and your husband. I also would advise you to look into NaProTechnology/Creighton Model. It is a system that enables you to learn about you own fertile health and your cycle: www.fertilitycare.eu/
All the best wishes,
A

Hey, we have been trying since July 2008 and still had no BFP.

The key things to remember are there are loads of different options available to you to assist you in getting that baby you so desperately want. Try not to give up, I am starting to think that this is as far as I want to go but my hubby won't let me give in just yet. Try not to surround yourself entirely by pregnant women/mothers. That will make you feel worse.

Good luck. X

Exactly what the other ladies said. And don't stress too much! I was told the average conception time is a year and a half. Where I live you're not considered infertile until you've hit the two-year mark! But never hurts to get a SA done.

Have you tried an ovuation kit? Remember, that there is just a small window in which conception can take place-- this can help with your timing. Could be everything is working and you just missed the timing of things. You can also try temping-- if you don't want to invest in the ovulation kit. If nothing else, this can give you peace of mind that your body is likely ovulating.

Drink lots of fluids, cut down on caffeine and relax! Don't worry yet. I have two friends who took about that long with their first child, and both got pregnant right away with their second. Both had been on birth control and think it took time for their bodies to re-regulate.

You can always try something simple like preseed as well-- it mimics fertile cm and can supposedly aid conception. Hasn't worked for me, but never hurts to try! Zinc is a good supplement for hubbys.

Good luck!
