I am not like this, I am usually happy, cheerful, active. Now all i wanna do is to sit in the corner, or lay in the bed all day. My hubby doesn't seem to understand what I am going through. I tried many times to talk about it, he just ignore me or he is not interested. Isn't it when u need someone to talk your spouse is supposed to be there for you? I feel so lonely. Sometimes I just want to break up and i'd rather be alone. Can someone give me some nice advice, no rude comments please.

You poor thing! I have a friend who is going through the same thing, and it's so sad to watch her - she goes through really bad days too. How long have you been trying to conceive? I'm sure you're tracking your ovulation, but have you tried ovulation kits, or are you just doing the math? Have you been on birth control in the last two years? Do you have any other medical conditions? Have you and your husband had your fertility checked out yet? Are you a smoker? On any other medication? There are so many things that can interfere with your abiity to conceive that it's hard to give advice. Try your best not to stress out, although I know it's hard. Talk with your doctor, if you haven't already. I know of couples who tried for YEARS to get pregnant, had all but given up, and as soon as they stopped stressing, BAM! Pregnant. If you haven't been at it long, just know that it can take time. If you HAVE been at it a while, just remember that nothing is hopeless. It really can take a LONG time sometimes. Hang in there, my thoughts are with you!

We both got checked and we are perfectly fine. I just started tracking my BBT ovulation. If we can't get preg this year I would do the next step which is IUI. Hope I dont have to do that.

Thanks, for you time. Yeah Im hoping to get preg this year. My Dr said try it for 6 months to 1 year. If not come back and we have to reevaluate you again. Hoping and praying that I dont have to go for the second option.

I hear ya on not being able to get pregnant bringing you down. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months now. It seems like the last 2 months have been the easiest (as in I'm not totally crushed at the end of the cycle.) I would suggest joining a site like fertilityfriend.com and take part in the discussion/forums. Or if it's not your style, join a yahoo group or two dealing with TTC. It helps so much having people who are going through the exact same thing as I am. Good luck to you and your husband! It WILL happen.... eventually!

I think because your spouse won't talk to you that maybe you can talk to a dr. I am sorry for what's going to you and your husband. I wish you the best.

My husband and I having been ttc for about 7 years and there are a few things that I have learned about men when it comes to ttcing number on is that they do feel what we are going though. 2 they try not to show what they are feeling because they do not want to get us more upset then we already are. 3 it is hard for men to express themselves in this area and others so they would rather act like they do not care so we do not think that they are caring people. My husband and I have talked through things when it is not fertile time and there are no pressures on us. I hope that this has helped you some. Good Luck
