    Don't try so hard... I know it sounds like really crappy advice, but if you're always thinking about making a baby there is too much stress involved! Definitely see a specialist if your hubby will agree but in the meantime have fun making love... not making babies, it works that way for some people.

    Urgh!

    As an infertile woman let me give you all some free advice: if a friend confides in you that she is unable to get pregnant never, NEVER, ever tell her "relax, it will happen when you stop trying"

    I don't care how many friends, sisters, aunts-cousins-dogs this worked for, every time I hear it I want to punch the helpful person in the throat!
    I've got one:



    "If you stop trying to get pregnant, you'll get pregnant"

    Kind of like dating. If you stop looking, you'll find the right one.

    I know right...what a bunch of BS.



    But if you're infertile, that's completely different than just putting too much pressure on yourself. Sometimes it DOES work that way. Sorry x

    I bought a small fertility charm on Etsy.com for a few bucks. It worked 2 times for me and 2 times for a friend...we both became pregnant about 3 weeks after wearing the charm! :)http://www.etsy.com/listing/100229810/one-dozen-pewter-wiccan-fertility?ref=sr_gallery_14&ga_search_query=pewter+fertility+charm&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_search_type=all

    Sex does seem like a job now. It makes me stressed.

    Relax (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWRTgziNX40)

    Just act like 2 horny, immature teenagers in the moment & it should happen. Have fun!

    My point is though you have no idea if they are or aren't fertile when you say it. And it's very dismissive to be told to relax when you know something is wrong.

    Also it's damn hard to relax when you are worried it will never happen.
