TTC tips??

I feel so depressed, I've been trying to conceive for nearly eight months, trying to be first time parents with my husband, he's 33 and I'm almost 25. Last month I entirely skipped a period, and even had other pregnancy symptoms, but then this month, AF reared her ugly head :( it was just like a serious slap to the face, we seriously thought it was finally our month, then AF just up and shows :( I try tracking my temperature daily, checking my CM and things like that, as I really want to conceive, the only thing I don't do is take opk's, as I usually just know when I'm ovulating, I just don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what, maybe I'm just too impatient, I feel like my time is running out :( I'm trying to keep my faith, trust God and trust His timing, I just want to be a mother so badly...my mind plays such horrible games on me, month after month after month...and it's just getting so depressing...I'm really ready to give up but I don't want to give up the hope of having a family someday...to you mommies or mommies to be out there who've had success, do you have any tips for those of us TTC to maybe help have success quicker??
