We all know TTC is frustrating. So tell us what your least favorite thing about TTC is. What do you hate the most about trying to get preggo?

My least favourite thing is that I'm coming up on 3 years without ever seeing a single solitary BFP. I know losses hurt, but this is a whole different kind of pain...

Other than the obvious of not seeing a BFP, I would say worrying about every little thing I do and how it might affect my chances.

I hate the fact that we hardly ever BD anymore without knowing we have an agenda behind it.

My least favorite thing is waiting. Waiting to O, Waiting to see if it worked. Waiting to test, waiting to make sure we have enough money to buy sperm, waiting for another cycle. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

All the stress it brings to my previously stress-free life. Stress from waiting, stress from the loss and worrying about another, stressing about timing, stress from having everything in my life suddenly be about TTC. I'm so impatient, especially when I want something so badly! All that being said, I'm doing better than this post makes it sound!

I hate that it's made me so jealous and sad that I can't handle hearing about pregnancies or being around newborns... I need time before I can go near them without crying. The emotions aren't something that can be controlled and just take over me at the worst times!

I agree WAITING is the worst part. Now that we've actually decided to try it's all I can think about. This stress is definately going to set my cycle off track

This one..
I just hit cycle #30 at 2.5 years so I'm a bit behind you but I've never seen even a hint of a BFP so I know this pain quite well.

And this one is probably the worst. My youngest sister had her 2nd baby mid December and I still haven't gone to see them...and we live in the same town. She hasn't made an effort to invite me either though so it's kind of awkward now.

The stress of waiting. The stress of wanting to know if we did everything right. The stress of wondering if there is anything wrong with us.

I hate the not knowing the most... not knowing if it will ever happen. Im quite lucky i dont get stressed or jealous but i do feel like a failure in a way.
It doesnt help that SO got his ex pg so quickly and he didnt even know they were trying so i feel all the pressure is on me as he knows he can produce a child.
but I LOVE how close this has brought us  he's happy with all the BD!!!

I hear you there. On Xmas I balled after my brother announced they were expecting and I just hate feeling that way because I want to be happy for them.
