[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the suggestions for you both to research TTC. Take control of what you can, like sorting out best times to try, and map out what you'll do if you don't conceive on your own after a certain time period. Doctors advise those under 35 to try for a year before consulting fertility specialists and those over 35 to try first for 6 months. I was similarly nervous about whether my DH and I would conceive--I had so many friends experience infertility--and that helped ease my anxiety.

While most people don't experience infertility, it doesn't mean that it's "easy" for most people to conceive. (Check out the TTC forum!) It took about 6 months to conceive my first child and then we conceived the second child on our first try. That first 6-month period of TTC felt so long to me. It's hard not to feel disappointed each month that it doesn't work. There is an element of chance to conception so you work to control what you can and increase the chance of conception.

Also, maybe you both can plan other stuff to look forward to so that TTC isn't your only project, maybe fabulous weekend getaways or take classes together, etc.  Good luck![/quote]
