Answer 1

First, you're not alone! =)  Me and my husband have been together for 10 years, and married last year 7/7/07.   I only used bc for the 1st year we got together.  Let's just say that we weren't trying to conceive, nor were we trying to prevent it.  We had always said that we'll let nature take its course.  Well, mother nature must be on vacation because I'm sick of waiting for her.  In May, this year, I had what they call a "Chemical Pregnancy".  The only reason I knew was because my usual avg. 35 day cycle was a week 1/2 late. I did test and got a positive; although, the next morning my AF came with a vengeance.  It was so severe that I went to the emergency. So, I know that its possible to conceive.  Its just a matter of us having to put more effort into the whole thing.  I'll tell you like the doctor told me, "Now days, with technology so advanced its impossible not get pregnant."  So, whether we wait for Mother Nature, or not.  There's hope!!!  

I wish you the best of luck!  Stay positive & relax.  One thing I've learned from the last 3 months of actually putting in effort TTC is, DON'T MAKE TTC YOUR HOBBY.  Find something to fill in the waiting time-frame.  It's good to track fertility, but it will drive us crazy if we obsess over it.  Keep us posted & I hope you get your BFP. =)

Answer 2

I've been TTC for 2 years now with no luck at all. I have a child that is 9 so I know I was fertile at some point. I don't know for sure because he won't go to a doctor, but I think the problem could be on my husbands side. He told me that before we were together he was in a 8 year relationship with a girl that had a kid, not using protection and she never got pregnant. IDK, I think I'm almost ready to give up. My friend was TTC for what seemed like forever and without any help from a Dr. she finally got pregnant. Hopefully you will too. Good luck
