My husband and I have been TTC for almost 2 years now. For 6 months I have seen a fertility specialist and have started my first round of clomid this past month. As of now, I am not pregnant and am pretty much at a low point, which would explain this post.
I am really getting tired of reading all the mom blogs with pregnant ladies showing off their tummies and gushing about pregnancy, there are A LOT of them, so this post is not geared at anyone in particular. To someone who hasn’t been able to get pregnant it is depressing. I know I should not read them, but it is like anything else and I can’t look away. I suppose I am insanely jealous, but all I feel is irritated. Again I know that most of the blogs I read are MOM blogs, so of course this should be expected, but right now they are not that much fun to read anymore.
I never thought it would be this hard to get pregnant, especially since my daughter was so easy. I found out I have PCOS which is probably the main cause of my infertility.
Hopefully within the next 3 months I will have some good news as our insurance does not cover infertility treatments and we really don’t have that money to spend. The whole situation sucks. Infertility sucks.

It wasn’t until I gave up the idea of getting pregnant, that I got pregnant. (Well, that and losing 45 lbs LOL) Seriously, stop trying to hard. You’ll hear it a million times, but stress does NOT help. Good luck!
I came over to your site from the DISboards, and saw this post – and I can totally relate!! We’ve been married for 11 years, and had tried from the day we got married through 2004, then took a LONG break, and now that I’m 35 (36 this week), we’re trying again, then we’re giving up and going for adoption… (We have no kids)
We have issues with both of us, which makes it even more annoying, and even less likely to work.
I remember all the angst I used to feel when we were actively trying – I couldn’t walk past the baby aisle in the supermarket without crying… I’m hoping that I’ll handle it better this time ’round, but the hormones they give you don’t help the situation!
Anyway, I wish you loads of luck. I won’t give you any advice, ’cause I’m not in your shoes (and I know how annoying that “helpful” advice can be).
