I am 35 in great shape and eat healthy too and trying for my second. I had my first 13 years ago piece of cake! It's been 3 months since we started (my new husband) and I know it hasn't been as long as you've been trying but I feel the same way. This is my first month charting and using OPK's though. Today I'm at 1 dpo and trying not to get my hopes up because last month I about pulled my eyelashes out thinking every symptom meant I was pregnant when I wasn't. My husband says the same thing, "just keep trying". I think if it doesn't work for us this cycle, I'm going to go see my OB and find out what we can do to help things along...like pre-seed or fertility vitamins. I think it could be the fact that we're in our 30's too...I don't know. I also have a 28-29 day cycle and thought I O'd on the average 14 days also but I learned this month that I O around cd 18. And charting my bbt is helping too. Don't get discouraged though. Just hang in there. Baby dust :)

Thank you

I'm 32 and this is my first time being pregnant. It took right at a year for us to conceive. I don't know if it took so long because of my age, or other factors (I'm overweight and DH is diabetic). But I totally understand how stressful this can be.

I say to start using OPKs each month to help confirm your BBTs and CM. I also think that checking with your doctor is a great idea. You will get pregnant again, it just doesn't always happen when we want it to happen. This is the most frustrating process in the world, believe me. Try not to give up, from what I understand, something like 85% of healthy couples will conceive within a year of trying. Hang in there! I'm definitely pulling for you:-)

Thank you so much, reading these two post made me feel so much better

I am right there with you. First two pregnancy's (at 18 and 28) were quick and easy to conceive. I have been using two apps on my phone, but have not started tracking my BBT yet. I'm due for my AF today, and still nothing, but tested FMU and got a BFN. My DH also has the "just keep trying, call the doctor and see what's going on" attitude, but I feel like in a selfish way, that I don't want to keep feeling this crushing disappointment every month. I am sure he is upset too, but he isn't the one feeling everything, every ache, nausea, etc, and thinking maybe I am? I just feel like our hubbys just don't respect or understand our feelings through this all the time.

I am so glad that I am not the only one, thank you
