Quote From: kristie_34I know it's easier said than done but try to relax and not try so hard. Me and my husband were married February 14th,1992. We had our first child July 6th,1993. We knew immediately we wanted another baby. Well we tried and tried and it just wasn't easy for us.
We don't have money for things like infertility treatments and tests so our best bet was to hope and pray. We FIANLLY got pregnant June 2003!!! Talk about taking a long time!
Our families were so happy for us and it was truely a miracle. Our happiness was short-lived though..I miscarried in August only 7 days before my birthday. We were devastated!
Six months later..to my surprise..I was pregnant again. We had our second child on October 4th 2004.
I know this is long and I know how much the "want" and "need" for a child can hurt so much.
God willing, it will happen for you! I am now six months pregnant with our third child due January 3rd 2008.
Be patient. I know how you feel.

At first when I read your post, I went, "She's only been ttc for 3 months, what's she so upset about?"
Then, I remembered what I was like after 3 months. I was a wreck when I got my period that third month. It's been 18 months now, and I'm here to tell you that, though I don't know that it's gotten much easier, it hasn't gotten any harder, either. If you can get through the emotional pain of getting one period, you can get through 20 more, as unbelievable as that seems. I still cry at least weekly about it, but I've learned something about the struggle: there's a cycle to it. You get your period, it sucks for a few days, you get excited when you're ovulating, you're hopeful for a week after that, then really tense a few days before your period. If you get your period again, then the whole thing starts over.
Try not to slap people who tell you to "relax," that "God's timing is perfect," or "what are you so stressed for?" They don't mean to be hurtful. They just don't know.
