Trying to conceive!!

My husband and I are trying to have baby number 2!! But are we the only ones that feel like actually trying to conceive is harder than not trying? lol. We planned our first daughter together and we got pregnant Valentine's Day in 2014 after my daughter I got on the depo. I received 2 or 3 shots and stopped because I rapidly gained weight and my hair fell out. So my body has been out of whack due to that. We still was trying but couldn't do it as often because I had 5 painful periods in a month, from the end of one month to the next and got breaks on the weekend, weird right? But now my period is back regular from the looks of things and we've been trying and having sex everyday hopefully we become pregnant before my birthday which is July 28th we're hoping for a little boy it'll be his third child and my second he has a 4 year old daughter which he had before me.. But we're SUPER EXCITED FOR ANOTHER MUNCHKIN
