Let's share anything TTC related. As my blog readers know I suffered a miscarriage last summer, and have been TTC for 7 months since. It's been a long journey. Please feel free to post anything TTC related. It's important to share!

My husband & I have been married for 6 yrs, and have been ttc for one year.  I am afraid to accept the reality that I may never be able to have children.  Everyone I know has no problem conceiving.  I feel like I'm the only one in the world, that finds it is having such a hard problem getting pregnant.  What's wrong with me...:-(

Awww I know how hard it is....have you been to see the doctor? I know a bunch of women who have been trying for over a year and get pregnant. Have you considered seeing an RE? Just to get some testing done?

I have been married 4 years now, and had the baby bug on and off. We are moving very soon back to our home state, so now is really not the time to conceive a child - we have hit that "late-twenties-enjoying-life" phase, and so we are trying to enjoy it to the fullest.

That being said, I have recently had some reproductive issues which doctors speculate to be endometriosis. yikes. Now I feel the urgency to even SEE if we could conceive, just so I can relax about everything. Scares me about not having kids someday...

It's very funny how our whole life we are taught how not to have children, and when we are ready we are faced with the "what ifs" of having trouble. I never in my life thought I'd miscarry...and I would never think it would take me 7 months to conceive after that. I understand your fears. But i've come to learn that some things are just out of our hands. I wish you nothing but luck!!

I often ponder the irony of conception in this society, and you hit the nail right on the head! I really am sorry for your loss - no mother should have to go through something to traumatic, but I see from your blog that things are working out :) Congrats and best of luck!! :)

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...as well as the ones before that. Have you seen a specialist? I can understand needing a break. I hope that God shares his plans with you soon!

My husband and I TTCd for 2.5 years with SEVERE MFI {male factor infertility}. We had one very early loss, 5w3d. We tried everything the RU said we could to increase his counts, and the cycles beginning and ending were terrible. I have a health issue that has become very emergent and brain surgery is the only answer. We have backed off TTC as we don't want to risk not being allowed to do the surgery and having to wait longer than we may have to. Plus, going off the medication would be physically painful.

However, after monitoring ovulation signs for that long, you KNOW when you O. You just know. The other night, we just gave in. WIth MFI working against us, a miracle baby will probably not be concieved. But there's hope in every 2ww. I do subscribe Concieve  {thanks to my mother in law-- no pressure though, right?} and have read your journey before, and I wanted to wish you all the best!
