@kassileo, no issues with us, fiance even had his sperm checked. I was even tracking ovulation to the point of obsession. Doctor mentioned taking a break from trying, have sex every other day around the time of ovulation only (a week before making sure it was every other day, during ovulation and a few days after) to give sperm a chance to build up, and not to stress, so we did all that, I gave up tracking ovulation, had sex every other day for a short time and didnt stores about it and bam we got pregnant.

Nope. I honestly think it's just about when the time is right, it'll happen. @kassileo

3 years... But after 3 years we started conceiving back to back to back.

@ayeewhipxo, thank you. I really appreciate that. it's important to him too, but I don't think he sees it the way I do. because it literally has me in tears each month and doesn't seem to bother him. Probably because it's not his body, so he's not the one fighting himself not to get his hopes up. it just seems so cruel that I spend my whole life making sure I take my pill, and always use condoms so I don't risk an accidental pregnancy. but now that I actually want one, it's not happening

I was trying for 7 months then as soon as I stopped trying I found out I was a month and a half pregnant.

@kassileo, i know the exact feeling :( I was even told it would be hard for me to conceive.. I miscarried with my first and it devastated me. That made me want to try even more.. But then I gave up and it happened.. I stressed every month about it and I'm guessing thats why I got my BFP the month after I gave up.. I wasnt stressing myself out over it anymore because I figured it wouldnt happen.. We literally tried atleast 2 times a day and always kept it in.. Never worked until then.. God works in mysterious ways and trust me your BFP will come when you least expect it 💙 I know its hard and am here if you ever wanna vent!!

I know everyone says not to lose hope and that it will happen eventuslly, but I can't help it :( it really feels like it's a slap in my face every month when I get my period. and everyone I talk to says I'm being over dramatic. but it really doesn't help that each month when I find out I'm not, I'm on my period by that time so I'm already extra emotional. it's really hard. @ayeewhipxo @ewatkins @countrymama166

Well my fiancé has a low sperm count and we decided not to have sex for at least 2 weeks to take a break and when we had sex the next time I left it inside me sorry tmi but usually I get up and pee afterwards and this time I slept with it in and I guess not having sex for 2 weeks really helped not to mention I ovulated around that time and I didn't know until my doctor told me but I also had a lot of stress in my life beforehand and now it's kinda subsided and I know stress doesn't help when your trying to conceive , but also for some people it just takes a while there isn't a specific reason
