It took me almost a year and a half to get pregnant when it happened in april. and it's been almost 7 months since the m/c and i still no baby. i've studied the parents.com website and they have alot of info on there for women and men to help you concieve and to boost your fertility, but still nothing.

I got pregnant within 3 months the first time. It has been 8 months since I lost my baby and still nothing. Its been suprisingly hard but I guess it takes a while for your body to heal itself. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!

i got prego on accident and its been 6 mons since i lost my stillborn baby boy and been tryin to concieve and NOTHING... im goin a lil nuts.

This last time was completely by accident. I was in skipped a week (was using the patch.) I am very fortunate not to have problem with conceiving. However after everything I went though, I don't know if I want another baby. I say I do, but not sure if it's because I really do or because I want to replace the son I lost. After my son, I was suppose to have my tubes tied but I can't do something that permanent and my OB doesn't want me to do something permanent when I am still grieving. I'm going in next week to have an IUD put in. So if I want to get pregnant again, I can do so and if I do decide to have my tubes tied, then at least I'll be at peace with my decision.

Erin I felt the same way that you do when I first came here, I couldn't believe everybody talking about moving on to other babies and TTC again. I guess it just takes us all time to figure out what we want. It hurt me so bad when other women wanted to talk about trying to have another baby, like I was forgeting about my angel! I will always love my angel, I will always think of them, but I guess it doesn't hurt so much to think of trying to have another baby. I know your pain is still so raw and I hope that things get better soon.

stress can interfere. try to relax and not think about it.

It took me a year with medication to get pregnant. I lost my baby at 6 1/2 weeks and this Christmas will be a year since the m/c. I have since moved onto a fertility specialist and stronger modes of medication, and still no luck. It seems like the more I want to be pregnant, the harder I have to struggle. And that horrendous schedule of intercourse!! Some of my friends say that it is so much fun trying to make a baby....they just don't understand that it turns into a "duty" and "work." When I go to the specialist and he says, "You have to have intercourse this night, and this night, and every other night....." it just gets really old and mundane. Some people just don't understand some of the things others have to struggle with.

TTC is so stressful no matter what anyone says! I am actually to the point where I am bitter about it, losing the will to try again, and I cannot remember the last time my hubby initiated BD! It took us a really long time to get pregnant and I m/c at 12 weeks. I am on my 5th cycle now, and AF is due on Monday the 26th. I am 10 DPO and driving myself nuts once again!!! Actually, I am starting to think that "by accident" is the way to go! We are waiting for tests from the fertilty specialist just in case there might be a problem. If not, I will probably be able to relax more. It doesn't hurt! Well, if you need anything, let me know. Hang in there.

We've spend a lot of time TTC in the past. The only 2 times we were actually successful were the months we kind of slacked off and didn't even try. That's life for you.

Drives you crazy, though - the disappointment each month. And it's so easy for some people.

If you want to get really proactive about it, www.fertilityfriend.com is a great site. The ladies there are bona fide EXPERTS on everything you can possibly do to make it happen.

I'm the same as you! Got pregnant on my honeymoon! And I miscarried 11 weeks later. And here I am 3 months after my D&C and nothing! It's so frustrating! I can't even get my hubby in the mood to do the BD. :(

Thanks so much for all of your help you guys! You've made me feel better, in an odd way. This way I know that I am not crazy! At least I know my body is maybe not totally out of wack!

After my first miscarriage (that time it only took us a month to get preg), I wanted to get pregnant as soon as the doc cleared us. It took SIX MONTHS of really trying. The first month that I stopped counting days and didn't take the ovulation tests, I got pregnant. Sometimes I think we try so hard that we stress ourselves out and that in itself makes it difficult. As soon as we didn't worry about it, we got pregnant. I wish all the luck to you and your SO in TTC. Keep us posted!

It is weird how hard it is to conceive after a loss.

With my first pregnancy, I wasn't on prenatals, just went off the pill and was pregnant the same month. My son is now 2.

When we started trying for another baby, I went on vitamins and off pill; 3 months later I was pregnant. I lost that baby to a missed miscarriage in the first trimester.

Now we've been trying another 3 months since the D&C. It is beyond difficult and frustrating. Now that I'm creeping into my mid-30's, I don't have the luxury of taking it easy and wait & see. I think we all just handle it as best we can.

With the help of my psychologist (a fertility specialist), I've been able to put trying into perspective a little more. I control what I can and do my best to let the rest go. Recently I started making a point to get involved in non-baby-related things and to participate fully in my life as it is now, not just wait to be pregnant (like I had been the past eight months).

Anyway, you're not alone. Do what you have to do to get through it. Take care and good luck!
