Hi Holly, I know what you mean about feeling left out. I think I have over 10 friends that are expecting a baby this year. Half of them weren't even trying to conceive. I just recently had a missed miscarriage and I was devastated. My hubby and I are trying to stay positive and we just started to TTC again. I'm wishing you and I lots of baby dust! Don't lose hope yet!

It took me 6 1/2 years and 6 rounds of ivf to conceive #1 (currently 5 weeks old and up breastfeeding right now!) and will soon start ttcing for #2. I watched some people have 2 or 3 babies! I know how much it sucks to watch everyone else get pregnant and get everything you want! It's so frustrating when your body just won't cooperate when in.your mind you are beyond ready for a baby. You just have to try to let go of your "schedule" for creating a family and realize that it may not happen when you want it to happen but keep believing it will happen eventually. Your time will come! Just keep trying but in the mean time find something else to occupy your mind and time so that ttcing doesn't consume you. I started power yoga classes which was a great stress reliever! I'm not saying relax and it will happen, a lot of people will tell you that and it will piss you off. You may have to work harder at this than you have had to work at anything but it will be worth it.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I really need it. I have

I'm so sorry you couldn't conceive. You should definitely visit a doctor. They will give you the knowledge about medical state of your health. You should do the whole medical check to know what the reason of your unsuccessful TTC. I would advise you do this as soon as possible. As I know it is considered to be "ok" if you don't get pregnant during first year of trying. After a year if you don't get pregnant you should visit a doctor. This’s important for both you and your partner to make a thorough check of your health. I'm not saying that you for sure have some problems with fertility. Maybe it's not the time yet and very soon you will get pregnant and everything will be fine. But just to make sure that your fertility is in perfect condition, you should visit a specialist. I hope you will find the reason of your inability to conceive. I wish you best of luck!
