Hii Has anyone else found ttc taking a lot longer than you expected and how are you coping with it ? I am finding it really hard now ...we re on month 9 and im feeling like its never going to happen for us. I feel guilty for not giving dd a sibling and dh another child Some days im really hopeful , some im really strong and positive and others like todsy im totally losing the will and just cant see myself ever being pregnant again. I hate this emotional rollercoaster. I feel like im wasting my life waiting for something which may never happen

Hi Mummy060409,

I feel exactly the same as you, up one minute and down the next!! 

I guess we just have to stay positive, enjoy life and take each day as it comes!! 

Good luck, I hope you get your bfp very soon

Im the same. i have positive days and really fed up days. i think distraction helps, Im reading that book lol!

DD born June 2010.
Baby number two due April 20, 2013

We're on month 12, DD took 22 months to conceive so I wasn't expecting it to happen quickly. I do have times of feeling very down and to the point of desperation as I just wish there was something I could do. Looking back now though I am so glad it didn't happen immediatley for us, DD is such good fun and I love the special time we spend together, I almost feel as though I'd be missing out with her if I had a newborn already - It's my way of trying to put a positive spin on it anyway! 

Like you say I feel almost guilty at not 'giving' my DD a brother or sister, she is baby crazy and she'll make a fab big sister!

Good luck and lots of babydust to you xx

hi ladies, I'm reading that book too!!

On to month 10 for us; I went to docs and she said stop worrying about it and it will happen!!  

For this month I'm not going to track what day I'm on and just bd more especially around ov time. Last month went so slow and the 2ww was horrendous so distraction and getting on with life is my mission, and more bd'ing instead of hoping we've cracked and then realising we might have missed a crucial day!!

good luck ladies xx

Month 15.......mostly negative days now but some good days

This month is a year of trying for us after my periods started over 15 months coming off of the injection. Some days I'm very positive that it will happen at some point, but other days I'm very emotional and feel such a failure for not being able to get pregnant. I find it very difficult when so many of my friends and family seem to fall preggers as soon as they consider that they might start trying soonish. I feel that I'm letting down my OH as he would be such a wonderful father. This evening I'm sad about it.

Cheer up Deeders, you are not letting anyone down and you are certainly not a faliure, dont think like that, it WILL happen and you will both be fab parents together, try not to let it get you down and i know form experience that is sooo easier said than done!Try to focus on other things if you can , this is the first month that I have just gone with it, been relaxed and apart from a blip other morn when hubby couldnt "perfom" bless him, we 've had a nice relaxed approach to dtd as and when we wanted which really helped us both, Im about to start the 2ww now....

We are going onto month 8 now, it feels so long ago that I came off the pill. I guess I thought i'd be pregnant by now but I believdm it will happen when it needs to and not when I want it to

It does not do well to dwell on dreams and forget to live
