Why?! Why is it so difficult?!

Question

I am 22 years old. My husband is 22. We have been married for three years. We are both healthy as far as we know. I do not have pcos or endometriosis, I have completely regular cycles, I ovulate on the same date every month, we have used preseed, ovulation kits, had sex every other day through the month as well as every day of my fertile period.... Yet we still have not conceived. I'm waiting for my period to come in two days as I am positive I did not conceive this cycle, again. It has been 8 months. Why is it SO HARD to do the ONE THING I have wanted my whole life to do?! I want to be a mother, I want to give my husband a child, I want to be a parent more than anything in this entire world. Why can't we just get it right and get pregnant?!

Answer

Just remember things don't happen on our time, but Gods timing. Good  luck to you both!

Answer

Hun i know its stressful and irritating but it will happen. Putting yourself under all that pressure wont help. Just relax and let it happen. You want your memories of your baby to all be positive and giving yourself high blood pressure isnt the way to start. Just keep trying and take a deep breath. Your only 22 your not running out of time i promise. And this way when you get you positive test you can feel all joy not just relief. Just keep telling yourself it will happen and that your going to be amazing at it!! Best of luck and baby dust!!

Answer

I so understand you. I am in the same situation as you. Keep the faith because one day we will be mothers. God knows when is the right time. I cry every month my periods comes. We will be OK.  😊 baby dust to you 😊

Answer

We had been trying for 10 months before I finally got a positive. I know it's hard, but stressing over it isn't good either. Everyone's bodies are different and when the timing is right, it will happen. Good luck!

Answer

Trying doing some yoga to alleviate some stress. Studies show that when you over stress about it your body releases a stress hormone which can affect the hormones needed for a successful ovulation.

Answer

I'm 22 also and have been married almost 3 years. We have been trying since April 2014. I have endometriosis and have gone through a Lap and a HSG. 5 rounds of clomid and now a 2nd IUI and am still waiting on our BFP!! Definitely a hard path to walk.

Answer

Stop trying. I know that sounds weird but you are stressing yourself out about it and that's not good. I know with my first pregnancy I wanted to get pregnant so bad. I was trying for years, all the positions, the times of day, everything. Finally I was told I had pcos and That I will have a harder time getting pregnant. It wasn't until a few months later when I accepted that fact that I got pregnant. So just relax. Have fun with your husband and have fun with the sex. You'll get pregnant when your body is ready.

Answer

Also, do you temp? How do you know you ovulate the same day? A positive OPK doesn't mean you're for sure ovulating, it means you're gearing up to ovulate. There's still a window of time after that where ovulation COULD occur, it doesn't always though. Temping and ultrasounds are the only ways to confirm you've ovulated.

Answer

No offense but 8 months is really not a long time. It's perfectly normal for it to take up to a year to conceive, as much as I know it sucks. My husband and I are up to a year now and on our second Clomid cycle. If you're really concerned you could see if your OB will try Clomid a little early with you guys. Mine started me early because I have had two miscarriages due to a progesterone deficiency this year and the Clomid helps with that along with my progesterone supplements.
