I'm going to say it. Getting pregnant is not easy. It's definitely not as easy as tv and movies make it look. Especially those reality shows like Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, even middle aged celebrities are having babies, which makes it seem like anyone and everyone can get knocked up after having unprotected sex. That is usually not the case in real life. Real life is people having fertility issues or just having difficulty timing intercourse to best conceive. Whatever the problem, it can be a big mystery. Some get lucky within a few months, others have to persevere.
Hubby and I are currently trying to conceive our little miracle #1 and it's looking like it's going to take a miracle to get us there. We've been actively trying for five months now and still no pregnancy. I've even been doing everything right like timing intercourse, charting my bbt and fertility signs, taking prenatal vitamins, eating well, and cutting out soda and alcohol.
I will admit that every time my period comes, I am let down and become depressed for a short while. I'm sure this is normal, but hubby makes it seem like it's not. He takes it more lightly than I do. Perhaps I just care so much more about conceiving than he does.
Right now I'm on cycle day 30, 9 days past ovulation. Fertility friend says to wait until Thursday to test, so I'll try to wait that long. It's going to be torture.
