Hi Everyone

Ive been feeling down lately and things are starting to get to me really bad. I havent been coming on the forum much these days neither.

We have been TTC for 7 months now and im starting to think there is something wrong. I cant get it out of my head. It doesnt help that all together i know 17 people that are pregnant/ had a baby. Ive started to not want to see my friends and family members because i get so upset seeing the bumps or babys. I must sound like a stipid cow

Someone please knock sense in to me.

to you hun. Were only on our 2nd cycle ttc #2 and these 2 months have been bad enough. Like you, it seemed the minute we started ttc my closest friend found out she was pg and now my brothers OH found out last week that she is. Im really happy for them but its hard not too feel a bit jealous.

You don't sound like a stupid cow at all, the thing I love most about this place is that all uf us are in the same boat and feeling the same things. Keep your chin up hun and I'll keep my fingers crossed that we all get our BFP's soon xx

I know 7 months feels like for ever, but in the TTC world, it's quite normal.
Most doctors expect you to be trying for a min of a year, some 18 months before they will look into it.
I've been TTC now for 14 months, half heartily for the 1st 8 months, very seriously the past 6 and nothing yet. Some ladies are very lucky and fall quickly, some don't.
When I was trying with Tommy, I'd been trying for well over a year and then discovered I wasn't ovulating and needed help. Have you bought any opk's to test your self to make sure you are ovulating. Also, temping is a good way to track down your most fertile times so you know when to bd more.
BUT don't panic hun, were all in the same boat You have to keep your chin up, I know it's hard but stress also doesn't help with things. And don't hide away, it's good to talk with others in the same situation

Aww hun you do not sound like a stupid cow at all

I had a very bad time with ttc a month or so back I was congratulating yet another friend on msn and I just burst in to tears and it took me ages to send it, after that I could not come on to here for days as I was very very down about it, even seeing tickers made me well up. I have been alright since but I am starting to feel down about it again now so I do not spend as much time in TTC as normal but I do come on and check on how people are doing etc.

I must say I was wondering where you had been If you feel down and need to rant then rant away it is all part of ttc and is what we are here for.

I know how you feel. We have been trying for 6 months without luck. Also, 6 people that i work closely with are pregnant and due around the same time and i do find myself getting jealous on lots of occasions. I just think " all good things come to those who wait" : cheesy i know but probably true.
Good luck with TTC!!!!!

We've been trying for double that I know it's easy for me to say but you just have to take one day at a time and make sure you have lots of fun in your journey TTC'ing

I know it's hard chick, but 7 months is quite normal so don't go get yourself worrying over nothing!

It's happens for you soon hun

I know its hard but try to keep your chin up!

Just like a few of the girlies said, this place is here for you to come on and rant and dont you dare say you feel like a stupid cow!!

This is my first month ttc and i am getting frustrated already! we only thought we would see how things went but i am considering starting to chart next month but dont want to obsess about it.

Take care and i hope you are lucky soon

DONT WORRY YET!!!!!!!

it took me and OH 10 months to conceive, by which time i had given up completely!!!

also be aware that by worrying about it and wishing and wanting it so badly it can play havoc with your hormones, making it harder to conceive. Pretend to yourself you are not TTC even though you are anf 'forget' it for the next two months, concentrate energies on something else, the break will do you good and you can then fool your body a bit and hopefully it will hAappen!!!!

Also remember dont read up on infertility and realise that it takes some people a ear and a half to conceive!!
