My hubby and I have been TTC #2 for over a year and a half. We tried tracking various things, didn't work. We tried just "winging" it, that didn't work either. My doctor has done the HcG test, and tested a few other things, but nothing popped up as being red-flag-worthy as far as getting pregnant.

I'm curious. For others who have had a lot of trouble getting pregnant, what did you do/not do to increase your chances? At what point do you say "maybe something's wrong"?

We have been ttc # 2 for over 2 years now. We got pregnant with our DS right away and got pregnant right away when we first started trying for # 2 (but had a m/c).

We did testing with my OB after about a year of trying...and then when we realized an OB wasn't really going to be of much help, we started going to an RE. They did more testing and nothing has popped up for us either. They are calling it "unexplained infertility".

Currently we are doing Letrozole and Ovidrel and will be doing an IUI with the RE. (We've done 5 IUIs already...we did get pregnant that way once, but lost that baby as well).

I know exactly how you feel me and my hubby have done everything to try to increase our chances. Opks, bbt, exercise, eating better. As of late it made me think something is wrong which is why I made an appoinment with the fertility specialist. ( I am extremly nuervous about that.) We have been ttc since Dec 2010. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you.

~~~~~~Trying to concieve #1 since Dec 2010~~~~~~~

Keeping the faith and in God's time we will have a little blessing .

my husband and i have been trying for a while now and I am just so ready for this to happen. This month is the first time, I have been paying attention to my body and we have been putting in overtime on the sex. I have had him stay in me for over ten minutes after he has finished and stay propped up for about 30 minutes to an hour. So, in a couple of weeks we should know something. I've had two miscarriages before and countless disappointments in pg test. I hope this time is different. Keep the faith just as we are.

It took my hubby and I just over a year and a half to conceive our DS.
We would try and have sex as much as possible during the week that I suspected I was ovulating but really at that point we stopped stressing over it (I know seems IMPOSSIBLE!) I found that the minute we stopped stressing and concentrating on supporting one another it just kind of happened.
I hope you all have your BFP's soon!!! I'll cross my fingers for all of you. I know it seems like it will never happen but if it's meant to be you'll have that little one in your arms before you know it! Try and stay positive.

Hey Ladies...
DH and I have been TTC for 11 months...and in a few days it will be 12 months...
It all seems so unreal to me...we are both healthy and have a desire to have a little baby of our own...but why is it not happening?
So Ladies...I think we all understand each other's pain...dissapointment when AF comes for a visit once a month...BUT maybe this is God's way to get us closer to HIM! I pray for every single one of you ladies...
