[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I actually am someone who is TTC #2 through IVF.  I had to conceive DS, my first child, through IVF.  It sucked, and I was anxious/miserable from the get go.  I knew I had to do IVF right away, so I didnt waste much time trying the way you are OP, but it was miserable from the get go.  But the IVF process is so much more involved than have sex 2 weeks into the month, take a pregnancy test at the end of the month, so I chalked up my misery to that.  But it's interesting to read that people trying the "old fashioned way" seem to get as anxious and miserable as us high-tech TTC'ers.  OP, hang in there.  My colleague at work just got pregnant (she's 20 weeks now) on her 8th month of trying.  She had actually just booked to go see the RE.  a friend of mine from high school got pregnant on her 9th or 10th month of trying.  Obviously frustrating, but it doesnt mean anything is wrong with you.  I think the problem is we hear all the stories of people who got pregnant by accident the first month they tried but looking at their husband blah blah blah, or took a pregnancy test just out of curiosity and got a BFP, but you dont hear of all the stories of people who took 5,6,7,8 months etc.  Reading this thread does make me feel better because I feel so sorry for myself doing IVF and thinking it sucks compared to the au naturale crowd, but it looks like the au naturale crowd is pretty miserable too, and misery does love company/.[/quote]

OP here:  I really appreciate your very thoughtful comments.  You're right, we never hear about the 5, 6, 7 month crowd etc.  And misery definitely loves company.  People actually don't talk much about TTC, in part because you don't even find out people are pregnant usually until they are three months along.  For the IVF route, its really interesting, I know three women who have gone through it (successfully) and two who are currently going through that route, and one probably going that route.  And to give you perspective, I am only 30.[/quote]
