**DISCOURAGED**

I'm starting to feel like I cannot concieve. I have been TTC since August 2012. That is FIVE months! I mean seriously. Sheesh what do I have to do? Up until now I was having fun trying to make a baby now I feel like maybe I should make it feel like work and then it will get done. I'm taking my vitamins and using the OPKs and NOTHING! I am going to try one last time this month and hopefully it works...if not I'm done because I can't take the disappoint any longer.

Thank you all! I know five months isnt that long, but the five months actually came from how long we have been trying since my miscarrage. I will keep trying though, Thank you girls sooo much. I needed that.

Keep Trying hun, They say that the average healthy first time couple it takes up to a year to conceive, I am 24, and my husband and I had tried for three years. Both being in our "prime" and we both are perfectly healthy. Good Luck, don't get discouraged. We  finally are pregnant and because it took us so long, we dont take anything for granted with this baby. I think it was just meant to be that way.

It took me 8 1/2 years & 2 miscarriages to get pregnant. First step is to get a semen annalysis down on your partner. It's the least invasive, cheapest, & easiest test. Then get a full work up from your OB to test your hormone levels, undiagnosed medical conditions, etc. It's a tough, depressing, often discouraging road, but it's worth it in the end :)

Honey it took me 2year to get pregnet. Before It happened for me I was stressing out n taking a test every month. Its stressful an its emotional bt to be honest as soon as I stoped stressing an backed off an relax it happened for me. One other thing never leave the bed after having sex an also puttin ya feet up for couple of minutes is a really good idea.

It can take a healthy couple a year, sometimes even two, to conceive. I tried for fourteen months and suffered a miscarriage before getting pregnant with my daughter. Five months isn't really long at all. If you still haven't conceived after a year, you can see what options your ob recommends.

took me a year to conceive mine and it was the hormonal stress that didn't let me conceive so don't think of making a baby and just enjoy sex :D that's what I did and then poof pregnant oh and btw I thought I was having my menstrual period due to cramps but it turned out it was baby implanting!

Five months really isn't that long. Most Dr say it takes the average healthy woman 6 months to conceive. It took my hubby and I a year to get pregnant this time around and we have no fertility problems. If its really bothering you make an appointment with your OB/GYN and get some testing done. Best of luck :)

Yes think positive have you tried like putting a pillow up under you to lift your bottom up and that he's deep inside when he is ejaculating to make it easier for the sperm to reach
