Hi Haley, I'm so sorry to hear about your heart wrenching story. You have definitely come to the right place to get support! I have been ttc for 4 years now. We learned along the way that it could be egg quality issues. I am a healthy 33 year old and we never expected any problems with trying to conceive. Unfortunately, sometimes even when you're young there are still problems. The good news is that you are VERY young and you have a lot of time to figure out what's going on. I know all too well the pain of seeing so many woman around me getting pregnant ( and so many by accident! GRR!) It is so frustrating, but don't forget that you are very lucky to have a supportive husband who loves you. Have you looked into seeing your obgyn for lab tests? Starting out by testing your husband's sperm (since that's easiest) is usually where they recommend you begin. You WILL get answers! Whenever you need to vent, scream, or just ask questions we are here for you! I hope you get some answers to your struggle soon.

Hey girl! Sorry to hear about your struggles! It's SOOO hard month after month seeing pregnancy announcements or hearing from people that they are expectantly awaiting YOUR announcement (only if they knew it wasn't coming). People really don't understand how hurtful vague sayings can be like, "it'll happen when it happens, stop stressing" (which only makes us stress more) or "just relax"...because no one in their right mind would choose to mechanically have sex so monotonously month after month with NO RESULT...so how the heck can we relax when it just WONT happen...a co-worker asked my husband if he was sure we were doing it right...I'm not gonna say his reply as it was quite vulgar - and funny - but that guy never bothered us again.

Anyway, it sounds like you have a great hubby, and hubbies ALWAYS want to fix things so I'm sure that's why he doesn't know what to do when you're crying, but let him know that holding you is an AMAZING start!

I agree with BecMarie that you should have him be tested first as it is the easiest test and then maybe they can do a full panel on you to check your hormone levels.

The journey does NOT get any easier and it's not for the faint of heart, but pulling through it, you will be stronger, and more secure in your motherhood role on the other side! Hang in there and it WILL happen!

So sorry to hear your story. I am in a similar situation. I am 24 and TTC for over a year. Yes, you are young and have lots of time, but that doesn't make infertility hurt any less. As for the family and friends, those comments are daily reminders of what you are already thinking about 24/7. Try to take them in stride. I like to tell people just like how they are. When someone asks the terrible question, "So what are you guys waiting for?" or "When are you guys going to pop one out?" I like to tell them how it is, "We have infertility issues." or "We have been trying for over a year." It ends the conversation right then and they will hopefully make a mental note to not bring it up again! :]

Thank y'all for the coment, it helps to know people understand what your going through. My husband just received pretty good benefits through his job, so hopefully we can get some answers soon.

Hey Hayley,
I'm in a very similar boat as you- I'm 24 and my husband, who's 26, have been ttc for a year now. It is so hard every month to feel as though the month was wasted and even harder to go through the motions of trying without any positive results. I recently found out my best friend is expecting and while I am so happy for her on one hand, it breaks my heart on the other. Navigating this journey has so far been one of the hardest things I've ever gone through in my entire life. My husband is incredibly supportive but I feel like he can't truly understand what we go through each month. The disappointment and devastation are so raw for a woman who is trying to conceive. I wish you and your husband the best of luck! If you ever want to talk feel free to message me!
