    So, we waited for a couple of months after the wedding (in March 09)  to start trying.  I was hoping that I'd get pregnant quickly, but so far, nothing.  I find myself feeling increasingly disappointed each month (just failed my pregnancy test today).  :(  I'm 30 and he's 39, so we are already on the older end of things.   Is anyone else in this situation?  i know that I'm just being impatient and that worrying about it won't help matters.  How do you wait patiently?  I know the "benchmark" for going to the dr. re: fertility issues is one year or more, and we are not there, but we are just SO ready, already!

    I'm sorry it's not working :( I've heard sometimes the stress of 'trying' can actually make it harder for your body to accept it ~ but I'm not sure if that's just an old wives' tale or whether it has any truth to it.

    I hope your little one comes quickly!

    I have some friends who got married a few years ago who are trying to concieve too, and I actually had to stop reading one of the girls' blog... it was allllll 'oh my uterus' this and 'ovulation' that ... she got REALLY graphic REALLY often. A little TMI for me, haha.

    ankile, good luck!  I'm also turning 30 this month & want 2 kids, so I hear the tick tock!  We hope to start trying next month, and I went off the pill in May. 

    So, I can't fully empathize, but my best wishes are flowing your way!  My dr. says to wait awhile before you chart, but I went ahead and am charting my cycles on fertilityfriend.com.  (eventually, I'll probably chart my temperature, too)  I found out about it and "taking charge of your fertility" on thebump.com.  I find that reading more about it actually makes me slightly less impatient and feeling better informed is a good feeling. 

    I've also been reading a book about how to get my body ready for pregnancy that I got used on amazon.com.  I didn't like hearing that I need to lose a little weight to help with my fertility (based on BMI), but most other things I'm pretty on top of, such as taking PNV.

    Hopefully we will hear good news from you, soon!

    Check out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" ...I haven't read it as I'm not trying to get pregnant anytime soon, but my sister swears by it and thinks everyone woman should read it so we better understand how our body works. Oh, and she got pregnant after reading it and charting...and was even able to try for a girl and got one!

    I wouldn't wait to go to the Dr.  We arent trying yet, but fertility problems run in my family.  My Dr recomended to get checked out for possible fertility issues as soon as we start trying.  Why wait a year before finding out that you have some problems that need extra help in getting worked around.  That is just wasted time and worrying.

    Just wanted to say good luck!  I'm currently on my last pack of pills and am excited about starting to TTC.

    oh, I also read taking charge of your fertility a few mos ago...but I think that is more about understanding your cycles if I remember correctly, then how to actually prep for baby w/ diet, etc...but maybe I just didn't read that section or forgot!
