I posted this the other day to many TTC for a short time. Thought you should read it.
I have been TTC for almost 3 yrs now and have been through some fertility treatment. It takes the average couple 6mos. to 1 year to conceive. Some get pg right away (the lucky ones:) Others it takes longer.
You must have some patience. Sometimes we don't always get what we want right away. You can throw a tantrum like a child if you want, but where would that get you? Life does not work that way. If it did we would all probably have one boy and one girl and live in a house with a picket fence...but that is not realty.
If you have only been trying a few months, don't get discouraged. I know some feel like giving up after a short time, but where would that get you? If you want something bad enough, you fight for it, don't be weak and give up.
Yes, the past 36 months of TTC have been very disappointing for me, month after month. Some days are harder than others, but you know what? Have some guts, be strong and trudge forward.
I wish everyone baby dust who is TTC....if you give up, then hope and faith are gone.
I know this may seem harsh to some, but maybe it will help to get things into perspective.
