No it wasnt TMI, if you were going into detail... then it would be!

Its just like, why cant there be a magic button, and how come so many teens are getting pregnant on accident... when, most women and men who are of age and married and trying cant!

I hear you. Here's a funny story to illustrate the button thing. I didn't know very much about sex and babies until college. Because I was always hearing "wait until marriage or you could have a baby out of God's time" I figured that when I got married I would be able to have a baby when I wanted to (in God's time aka mine!) I know it's crazy, but an incomplete sex ed will do that. I hope your month comes soon, sis.

Hi Guys,

How great to find a ttc board on CF!

DH and I are on cycle # 38, guess that makes it over three years, yikes

It's in my heart though that God's timing is more important than mine

Looking forward to chatting to you ladies - other forums are good for ttc info, but without God it's so easy to get bitter and drawn into negative thinking! Trying hard to keep the faith

Praying for us all

God bless

HUGGS! i feel the pain of every one of you that have been trying for what feels like a long time and still not conceiving. I know the pain of hearing every time a sister, cousin or friend is pregnant..wanting to be happy for them..but crying for yourself first!

To put things into perspective...

it took me 16 yrs of trying to concieve before i finally got pregnant with LUke! After Luke was born and i was hoping for a little bro or sis for Luke it took me 2 yrs to get pregnant again..ONLY 2 YRS!! WOW!!

2 yrs to some may seem like an eternity..to others it seems a blink of an eye!! To GOD..both 2 yrs and 16 yrs is just a little blink...REMEMBER THAT!! Its all in his timing..dont EVER give up hope!! I didn't!!

My hubby and I aren't properly TTC per say - like I know some of you girls are "doin it" every 2nd day, we're just kinda seeing how it goes and if it happens it happens.

I guess we're kinda protecting our hopes (only slightly though) from gettin stamped on every month that there's no pregnancy.

We're (officially) on month 2 so far (had the occasional month it could've happened) and no sign of anything (i'm irregular, every 6 wks or so) so i never know what's going to happen. Another few days and it will be 6 wks. Anyone else like that?!

My friends has been trying for 11months and still no pregnancy. I'm scared that I get preggers before her and i hurt her. How do you overcome that? I want her and her hubby to be Godparents so that might ease the blow a little, but i don't want to hurt them. I also don't want to put my hubby's and my life on hold so they can go first.

This just happened to me. I got preggers on my second month and my best friend has been trying for a year! They were still happy for us and I think, it has changed a lot for them. I can't explain how really, but I can tell that their perspective/tactics are changing a bit toward their own attempts to conceive.

In the mean time, I have invited my friend to 'share my womb'. I write her everyday and tell her all the intimate details of how I'm feeling, etc. Sharing her sorrow and my happiness (and fears) has really brought us closer together in a very short time.

Awww...I'm sorry you're feeling so badly.

If it's any consolation, my best friend has been trying for a year without success and I worry she'll be really upset if I get pregnant before she does.
